Lovely home, sitting room, bedroom and dining area. Comfortable bed, smooth sheets and plush towels. Delicious homemade breakfast and cordial hosts. Fantastic view in a semi-rural setting and beautiful garden. Easy to find. Close to both Kilkenny and Waterford. We stayed three nights.

Mary was the most delightful hostess. Her home is beautiful, welcoming, and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and updated, the beds a dream, and our garden view was a treat. She gave us a wonderful tour of her property, including their greenhouses and a 2000 year old ring fort that once belonged to an Irish chieftain. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Mary’s was, by far, our favorite stay. We hope to visit again soon.

Nearby attractions

Jerpoint Abbey: Founded in the second half of the 12th Century, Jerpoint Abbey is a classic example of a Cisterian Abbey and is remarkably well-preserved. The Romanesque church is truly a sight to behold and visitors can also appreciate an ancient tomb sculpture, tower and cloister. It is a place of great historical significance, and its Visitor Centre offers outstanding information.
Jerpoint Glass: Watching glass blown by hand is a most exciting spectacle! From the viewing area at the glass studio, you will see the skilled glassblowers perform their magic as they turn flowing red-hot molten glass into the beautiful Jerpoint shapes, right before your eyes.
Jerpoint Park: Enjoy a guided tour of the footprints of a deserted 12th Century Medieval town dating back to 1200AD called Newtown Jerpoint. Take a step back in time and explore the standing remains of St. Nicholas's Church which dates from the 13th-15th century, a secular stone-built tower of medieval date and the stunning Medieval Tomb of Saint Nicholas. Tradition in these parts tell that the earthly remains of St. Nicholas were secretly removed from Bari by returning crusader knights, who brought them back to Newtown Jerpoint for safe keeping.
Kells Priory: Kells Priory is one of the largest and most impressive Medieval monuments in Ireland and one of the largest and best preserved walled monastic sites in Europe. An Augustinian Priory founded in 1193. It is situated alongside King's River beside the village of Kells, about 15km south of the medieval city of Kilkenny. The priory is a National Monument and is in the guardianship of the Office of Public Works. One of its most striking features is a collection of medieval tower houses spaced at intervals along and within walls which enclose a site of just over 3 acres.
Kilkenny City: Kilkenny City is a medieval, yet vibrant hub of activity, with its wealth of well-preserved historical attractions balanced by its impressive modern commercial side, of shopping outlets, cafes, pubs and restaurants. It is the perfect blend of the old and new! There is so much to explore when in this beautiful city, including Kilkenny Castle, St Canice’s Cathedral and Rothe House & Gardens.
Mount Juliet Golf Course: Located just 1.2km from our home, Mount Juliet Golf Course is known as Ireland’s best parkland golf course. It has hosted the WGC American Express Golfing Championship, welcoming the likes of Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington onto its greens. As well as the quality golfing facilities, Mount Juliet provides a great experience for dining, fishing, equestrian, archery and falconry.
Nicholas Mosse Pottery: Nicholas Mosse is located in a beautiful old mill located on the River Nore in the stunning countryside of Bennettsbridge, Co. Kilkenny.
