Fantastic hotel, amazing staff and location perfect. The small town of Leighlinbridge had many hidden gems! Food was great, both breakfast and the restaurant. Only small niggle was the tired bedroom and en suite, which whilst perfectly functional, could do with a refresh.

Aircon was fantastic in room which was large and well set up.... As a lone traveller, I have to compliment one staff member in particular. Karen was so pleasant to me at breakfast time each day. Friendly but professional. She was an excellent ambassador for the hotel.

A great spot to stay just outside Kilkenny. The attached restaurant had a fun vibe and great food. The bed was incredibly comfortable — after two weeks of hotel hopping around Ireland, this was our best sleep. Staff were easygoing and friendly to chat with. Breakfast was more limited than other stays, but still met our needs. Overall, a lovely and relaxing stay.

Lovely breakfast, room was very clean, unfortunately there was a noise coming from the bathroom fan that didn’t stop all night! Took a long time to be seated for evening meal even though there was many empty tables.
