We wanted to stay in Thurles as a base to visit Kilkenny and Cashel, and the location was perfect for that purpose. In addition, we learned that there were some more local sites of interest that we didn't have time to visit, but would have liked to.
This house in Thurles is newly renovated and very comfortable, in a quiet part of town. There is a beautiful front bedroom with a big bay window that makes it feel very bright and airy. The other bedrooms were nice, and the beds themselves were extremely comfortable, with new linens and covers. The bathrooms are new and quite nice, and the kitchen is fully equipped. It was great to have a clothes dryer as well as a washing machine. The wifi works perfectly. There's a large parking area, and on the other side of the wall from it was a neighborly horse that we loved saying hello to as we came and went. The host was thoughtful (she had left some delicious baked goods that greeted us when we arrived) and responsive. We were delighted to learn that she knows one of the performers in the show at the Bru Boru Cultural Center, a site in Cashel well worth a visit.
We were very pleased with the house and hosts in Thurles, would come again and would highly recommend it.
