The cottage is a fun, authentic way to experience what it would have been like to live in Kilkenny in the 18th and 19th centuries — but with the added conveniences of indoor plumbing, electricity (and wifi!) The rooms were quiet at night and nicely heated, and the shower was hot. The kids enjoyed sleeping in their own beds in the upper loft area. Caroline is a wonderful host. We appreciated that she stopped by to check that we were settled in and to share information about the cottage’s history.
