Absolutely great place to stay in the heart of kilkenny. Fantastic hosts and a great bar to mix with the locals (sundays live music had the place rocking) i recommend the smithwicks brewery tour which is about 100 yards up from the pumphouse. Also a bar called playwrights just up the road does lovely irish breakfasts for a reasonable price. Also a big shout out to kev the barman in the pumphouse for making all our group very welcome 👍
