Definitely stay here. You need a car but it is two minutes into the little village (two pubs, mini-mart, two restaurants), and only a 10 minute drive into Kilkenny. The drive was really easy. The stable was a really cool and unique experience. When you open the doors in the morning you can hear the neighbors cows, and next door is a game bird reserve and we were greeted by pheasants every morning in the yard. We got food sickness from some food in Kilkenny and Gitta went out of her way to help take care of us, and I will be forever grateful for that. When we ran out of wood, her husband John chopped us some wood up to heat the lovely wood stove in the rain. What a team they are. Thanks Gitta and John. We owe you! :)
