Cons:

The property was hosting a dinner event for the Chamber of Commerce. Concurrently, it seemed to be overrun with young families and their children. The facility was noisy and not conducive to an enjoyable Thursday evening.

Nice Kilkenny stay if you have kids!! (dinosaur park)
Pros:

Lovely stay due to the Dinosaurs/ Dinosaur park which the kids loved!!! Even though the weather was bad when we were there. The rooms are ok and clean but not that big. The breakfast was a bit limited but overall ok.

Cons:

A bit chaotic probably because of the dinosaur park but if you have kids you are probably used to that chaos!!
