We were greeted by Kevin (the host) and his dogs who made us feel very welcome. He and his wife gave us plenty of ideas to fill in our days. The Gables was a perfect stay for us as it was within walking distance from Kilkenny yet far enough out to enjoy the countryside.

The house had Wifi, which is a must nowadays. The house was comfortable and had everything provided. There was a few teething problems at the start but these were fixed promptly by Kevin.

We felt, however that the house could benefit from having its decor updated with lighter colours.

We have fantastic weather and the seating area around the back of the house was very useful and private.
