I stayed in 5 AirB&B location in Ireland and this was easily the tops. The room and linens were clean and the bed very comfortable. Of the 5 locations this had the cleanest and most updated bathroom complete with shower, sink and toilet all spotlessly cleaned. I felt Niamh and Joe were concerned for my well being while in Kilkenny. I was there during a somewhat chilly and wet season at tail end of winter and in the breakfast room they lit a fire for me. I think most AirB&B' host in Ireland do try to provide a nice place to stay but Niamh and Joe went above what is expected and I am pretty sure you will agree with me. My only reluctance to be too complimentary is that you might end up booking this room when I need it again! Be aware that you will be climbing more than a few stairs to get to the room, so plan for that but when you get to the room it'll be worth it.
