Alan is truly the host with the most. He went above and beyond to make sure we had all of the provisions necessary for a comfortable stay, all the way down to leaving chocolates on bedside tables, and providing us with his very own free-range chicken eggs for breakfast. He was also very willing to provide us recommendation and input on some great walking areas right on the river to end our day on a great note. We highly recommend staying with Alan and family if passing through the Kilkenny area.
