Nice, comfy B&B

Super comfy room, clean and warm. The breakfast is also great, with eggs made to order, fresh fruit, yogurt and bread. I was there for 2 nights only, but he owners made me feel like home. Location is a little far from the city center (meaning it’s no walking distance), so I recommend renting a car (which you can park for free in the B&B) or a bike if the weather is good. Totally recommend it!

Highly recommend Auburndale.

An absolutely lovely place to stay with wonderful hosts. Fantastic breakfast. The walk into town is not far at all and a good opportunity to walk off dinner or a pint or both!

Lovely BnB in Kilkenny

We loved our stay here. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and the Irish breakfast in the mornings were delicious. Our hosts came out to talk to us during breakfast and were amazing to chat to about Kilkenny. The rooms were clean and comfortable but nothing fancy, but as we spent most of our time exploring the gorgeous town it was plenty for our needs.

Nice b&b

We booked with Expedia but when we got to B&b we were not on their book. They did have a spare room so we were lucky but we’re not happy that we weren’t expected.

Wonderful B&B!

This was a wonderful B&B experience. We felt right at home in this lovely establishment. The staff made us feel welcomed, they were very friendly and we had several nice conversations with them. The breakfast was delicious, and the dining area felt restaurant quality. The bedroom was nice and comfortable. The location is a brisk walk away from all the action. I would gladly recommend this place.
