We absolutely LOVED our stay at Niamh & Joe’s beautiful home. They have put so much work into making it feel like such an elegant yet cozy space. Our room had a comfortable bed & felt very fresh & clean. They even set out little bottles of soap (which ended up being just what we needed since I forgot mine!)
Niamh laid out a continental breakfast every morning in the breakfast room (which is also beautiful!). I cannot gush enough about the breakfast. Niamh has simply thought of everything. There was always fresh fruit & delicious bread from a local bakery, a French press for making coffee, a selection of different cheeses, & little bites for when you might be hungry throughout the day. I didn’t quite name everything but if you can think of it, it’s there!
The location is incredible too! Their home is located right along the River Nore which runs through the center of town. If you step outside the front door you can see Kilkenny castle just up the road to your left. The house is just a 5 minute walk to almost everything you might want to see in Kilkenny - the castle, Smithwick’s brewery, high street, Kytelers Inn, & loads of cute coffee shops & restaurants in between.
Niamh & Joe are such lovely people to talk with! Both are very knowledgeable about Kilkenny as well as other areas of Ireland. We appreciated their recommendations for local attractions & restaurants.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their precious home & hope to be back some day soon :-)
A hug from Hannah Kathryn & Mackenzie!! x
