This cute, old-fashioned cottage was a short taxi ride into Kilkenny, so our family could spend the day exploring the city and then pop back to the house and enjoy the amenitites of a larger space with kitchen and laundry facilities. Using the immersion water heater and cooking on the hot plate stove was new to me, but ended up working fine, and I was grateful to save money by not eating out every meal. The cottage is also close to Kell's Priory and Jer Point Abbey, and if you're looking to treat yourself, head to Jen's at Kell's Mill for an amazing breakfast. It worked great for our family!
