We had a wonderful stay at the Stable. Valerie is a wonderful host who was very prompt in responding to our questions both before and during our stay. The space is just perfect for two people: quiet, clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The countryside is beautiful. If you're looking to rest and retreat, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot - especially for the price. Just know that it's not accessible by public transit. It's a fairly short taxi/car ride into the Kilkenny city centre but over an hour to walk it one way.
