Captures the essence of Irish country living! We were looking for a place that would allow us to have the Irish country experience while avoiding what too often turns out to be "rustic". The Lodge at Kiltanon House was it and exceeded our expectations. As seasoned travelers, we know that attention to the details is what separates a good place from a great one and for us, contributes significantly to our overall trip satisfaction. This property was exactly as represented re amenities and features, yet with that extra something that provided us an opportunity to experience the essence of country life in Ireland. The property is spacious and well-equipped, yet has a cozy and comfortable feel, so we felt at home right away. Paul and Joan clearly pay attention to details and are warm, friendly and helpful hosts who have a good sense of how to read and respect the level of interaction their guests want. We used it as a base for day trips to well-known and lesser known sites and couldn't wait to get back to the Lodge at the end of each day!
