This is a great place for a large group. 4 double beds (no sneaky sofa bed or cot!) with a big main bathroom and 2 en-suites was more than enough for us. The kitchen is very well stocked with a mix of utensils and there is plenty of space to relax and chat, both inside and out. Diane was very helpful in the run up to our stay and the pre arrival booklet is very useful for local knowledge. We popped into Kilkenny for an afternoon and used the local stores for propping up supplies without any hassle. I'd highly recommend for a group of 8.
