So our family had the unique privilege of staying in a restored 15th century castle restored to “more than its former glory”. A short and beautiful drive from Kilkenny, it would be well worth the effort and cost to make this your castle for a day....or week...
As much as it is impossible to believe, you get the entire castle to yourself. As impressive as it is from a distance, you will be absolutely at a loss of words when you stand at the entrance. The way John , the owner, blended the past of a castle with the modern and chic amenities we have come to expect of today could not have been done any better!
I suspect that if you want to stay here, you had better be booking soon, for as soon as word gets out ( and it is getting out ) , you will find yourself living vicariously through someone else’s stories and pictures.
There is absolutely nothing exaggerated nor minimized in the pictures in any of the write ups found in “The Irish Times” and “the Irish Road Trip” nor the listings in Airbnb. You will find everything as magnificent and elegant as portrayed.
Our thanks to John from the Zubiate family!
