We didn't meet Noeleen on arrival but Amy. She was helpful in checking us in. Everything was fine for the most part, but in the midst of this very warm summer, a fan would have been a nice touch as the room was quite small and a bit stuffy. I was also disappointed that although it is advertised as a music pub, there was no music the night I was there. Incidentally, parking in Kilkenny is a horror, but it can be done. Those are the minor drawbacks, but all in all a very good stay in an old pub in a great location right on the high street (some street noise with the window open due to heat).
