Perfect stay for a long weekend in Kilkenny.
Pros:

It was the perfect location for a weekend exploring Kilkenny, right in the heart of the town. It was so clean, very spacious and perfect for 3 girls sharing. They had free parking, cleaned the room & gave fresh towels every day. The receptionist was super lovely and the bar men were great fun.

Cons:

Can’t fault the property at all it was gorgeous.
