This is one of the best places we've ever stayed. Elizabeth has managed something very elusive: the perfect blend of genuine rustic style (nothing "faux" here), and modern comfort and convenience. Our biggest regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Communication with the host was first-rate. As a working stud farm, the Burgage is a fascinating place to explore, the serene river is beautiful and the location is really convenient to Carlow and medieval Kilkenny city. We loved it.
