If I am ever in the area again I would definitely stay with Julie and Rod-the apartment was great, very comfortable and the location is perfect. It is very secluded but also just a quick hop into shopping, eating and having a pint. Rod and Julie showed us around the farm and distillery while sharing some history. I can't say enough how awesome it was to stay at the orchards. Do yourself a favor if you are coming to Kilkenny book a stay here if it's available.
