Julie and Rod were such wonderful hosts for me and my husband on our honeymoon. The cottage which is old converted stables was so comfortable and warm, complete with a bed made of clouds! We were left with some samples including their delicious apple syrup upon arrival from their shop and Julie's mother even greeted us with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her garden she saw me admiring. If your a history buff, Rod is your guy, he is so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Kilkenny area and I look forward to reading his book one day! A small piece of advice, bring plenty of extra money to shop, you will not want to go home without their Brandey and Gin! There is nothing more these beautiful people could have done to make our trip any more perfect. We found ourselves talking about Rod, Julie, and Kilkenny everywhere we went. We look forward to visiting again in the future and wish Rod and Julie all the joy in the world, they are truly special souls.
