Not great but staff did their best
Pros:

Nice pub with plenty of seating and a nice walk into Kilkenny

Cons:

The bed was not as described. It was a small double not an extra large bed. There was no hot water in the morning but it did get fixed but too late for us. Aircon was intermittent

Pros:

Stanza grande e dotata di tutti i comfort, hotel con ampie aree all'aperto ed annesso bar e ristorante, immerso nel verde. Ampio e comodo parcheggio. In circa mezz'ora di camminata si raggiunge il centro della città.
Colazione disponibile, molto abbondante e con prezzi competitivi.

Cons:

Stanze poco insonorizzate, soprattutto al mattino presto si sentivano parecchio i rumori dalle stanze vicine e dal corridoio.
