Cathy and her Niece, Katy, are lovely and helpful and brilliant conversationalists. Cathy's house is full of Victorian splendor and crammed full of antiques and curiosities of ever kind. The house is full of love and good spirit and lots of well cared for dogs.
My room was decorated with antique furniture, porcelain a stuffed goose, studded fox and stuffed rooster.
When you plan your trip to Kilkenny be sure to schedule some time for tea and conversation with Cathy. She was the best part of my visit to Kilkenny.
