One word - INCREDIBLE!!! This place was truly a little piece of heaven. Complete with amazing hosts, delicious apples and products produced right on their own farm. Julie and Rod make you feel right at home and take pride and joy in talking about the orchard, it's history and the magic behind producing their award winning products. The grounds are beautifully kept and Julie and Rod encourage guests to walk around and explore the natural beauty it has to offer. The farm is conveniently located just 15 minutes outside of the main city center in Kilkenny which made seeing the main sights very easy. Although short our stay was amazing, needless to say we look forward to our next trip to Ireland so we can spend more time at High Bank Orchards with Julie and Rod :)
