I cannot recommend Julie and Rod's listing enough. If you are looking to get away from it all but be close to all that Kilkenny has to offer, this listing is for you. Julie gave us a warm welcome upon arrival, leaving a few essentials for us, which were very much appreciated. She gave us many tips on where to eat (Julie is very knowledgeable in this area), get groceries etc. and each tip was spot on. She explained the history of the farm, which was fascinating. Similarly Rod gave us some great insights into what life is like on the farm and discussing what goes into the various products they make (Ciders, Brandy, Gin etc.). The grounds are amazing. From the beautiful rows of apple frees, to the horses and geese, I really felt like I was getting back to nature. My toddler absolutely loved exploring the grounds! The listing is only 15 mins drive from all that Kilkenny has to offer. It is also very close to some lovely towns such as Inistioge and Thomastown. And the listing itself was very comfortable - kitchen perfect for cooking family meals, lovely bathroom to have a hot shower after a days walking, and very comfy beds. Definitely one of my top holidays. Thank you Julie and Rod for your hospitality!
