What an amazing stay we had at the Pumphouse! Our trip around Ireland started of here and it set the bar so high. Check in was as simple as heading into the bar and notifying the staff that we had arrived. A kind employee escorted us upstairs to where we were staying. She showed us around and gave us some excellent recommendations for food and nightlife (Marble City & Kytler's Inn). The location couldn't have been any better; we were able to walk to Smithwhicks, Kilkenny Castle, and everywhere else in between that we wanted to go. The room was clean, well-sized, and very cozy, and although the bathroom was shared with other guests, we had no problems accessing it. One of our favorite parts of our stay was the bartender who checked us in, James. We had such a great time drinking a pint downstairs with him and chatting- his hospitality was such a wonderful first impression of Ireland!
