Nicely located if you want to visit the Rock of Cashel or spend the day in Kilkenny. Kilkenny is a charming town, very lively, with some walkways that make you feel you have gone back in time 600 years. Great Irish Breakfast, rooms were fine.

This farmhouse is lovely and our host, Carmel, was fabulous. We wished we would have stayed here more then one night. Carmel had a delicious made to order breakfast along with a sidebar of yogurt, fruit and cereal. She was very welcoming, the rooms were very nice and clean. We would definitely stay at her home again & highly recommend it.
