The visit to Inistioge started out a little shaky when we weren't able to get ahold of Patrick to gain access to the house. However, the entire town (all of which knew Patrick) assisted in making me love the town before I was even able to talk to him. You'll love the folks at the Otter, Circle of Friends and Woodstock B&B. The town is wonderful and within easy driving distance of a day trip to Kilkenny.
