Kilkenny House was easy to find, near the train station, and the €2 per day car park directly behind it. It's only a five minute walk to the centre of town. Although it was near the train station, it was quiet, and I felt safe walking alone there in the evening. Jan showed me to my room, which was as professionally clean as a hotel, with an ensuite shower and loo. I had worried about noise, as there's a pub downstairs, but there was no noise at all, even though the B&B was fully booked (it being the fantastic Kilkenny Arts Week). The bed was comfortable, the shower a good one, there was a lovely big flatscreen TV, and there was an adjacent kitchen with tea/coffee etc. Also a Centra round the corner to grab a scone to go with my coffee for breakfast. Jan very kindly said I was welcome to leave my bags for the day the next day, but as it turned out, I took the car to the other side of town for an event, so brought my bag with me. No one was about when I left, so I just left a note and the key. Sorry I didn't get to see you again, Jan, and never got t meet Eamonn! I had a workshop to get to. But it was a great stay, and I'll definitely be back.
