Private, quiet

Was very pretty, well equipped, the owner had thoughtfully provided fruit, crisps, wine, tea, coffee and water

A lovely, well equipped house with 3 spacious and comfortable bedrooms. There is a super outdoor area and plenty of parking. It was easy to order and get taxis to and from Kilkenny city centre which is a couple of miles away. The icing on the cake was the host, Mary, who made our stay so enjoyable. She provided tea,coffee and milk and even left some wine and beer. We loved it and would highly recommend.

The house was outstanding. It was home from home. We did not want for anything. A very kind and welcoming host.
We loved everything about the house!
The house was so cozy and cute! Mary, the owner is absolutely lovely and made our stay so memorable! Highly recommend!
Quiet, comfortable, and cozy! The home is just a short drive outside the city, which made for the perfect combination of country and city life. Mary and Tom were so welcoming and even had candles lit when we arrived. It's clear they take pride in welcoming guests.
Everything was perfect!
So comfortable for families
Clean, and roomy. The house was extremely cold when we arrived left for dinner, came back and it was still cold so the owners brought over space heaters for each bedroom. Fixed the issue. We had a nice stay and wonderful breakfast. Thank you for your hospitality.
Being so cold when we came back from dinner to a cold house.
This was 6 mins in car away from city centre Mary the host was just fantastic to deal with so chatty n kind even changed around our booking for us the house is so clean and beautiful beds are so comfy Mary even went out her way to leave us wine and cake are had fire lighting before we arrived so cosy and home away from home definitely will be back to stay there again
Fantastic House, lovely facilities. Mary was lovely to deal with
N/A
It was a lovely and cozy stay, with the fire lighting warmly when we arrived. The owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our visit. The location was ideal, just a short distance from the city centre.
Excellent option for Kilkenny accommodation Above and beyond our expectations in terms of service, facilities and value for money Highly recommended
Nothing to complain about
The House was perfect with plenty of room any everything you could need for your stay available. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly.
It was so close to Kilkenny city but in a nice remote spot. The house was clean, comfy and perfect for what we needed it for. The hosts were lovely and so helpful.
Proprietaria deliziosa La casa è molto bella e accogliente. Siamo rimasti a bocca aperta per tutti i prodotti che ci ha fatto trovare per noi (cibo, vino, birra..) davvero tanto graditi. Siamo stati benissimo Grazie davvero
All’esterno era meno bello ma l’accoglienza e l’interno compensa ampiamente la cosa
This was an incredible property with all the loving touches, amazing service, modern conveniences and comfortability you could ask for!
Nothing, it was literally amazing all around.
Spacious, well equipped and clean. Fantastic tennis court outside
Nothing

Nothing :)

The property was amazing and rooms were brilliant warm and welcome
Nothing the property was flawless
Very well equipped, spacious, clean, a home away from home, quiet location.
Great outdoor space
A very homely house. Every comfort provided. It was also very close to the city, which was ideal. Quiet area. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Would recommend it to anybody staying in Kilkenny 😊
Nothing. Everything was perfect
I really like the care the owner put into the house. Many small decorations make us feel happy.
It literally has everything you need and more.
It’s only a bit out of the way so make sure someone is driving if you want to venture into the city.
location fine brought our own breakfasts
Quirky house that was clearly loved. Very clean. Mary the host was lovely and so helpful. Very generously left us chocolates, wine and a lovely cake. There were tea bags and a bag of coffee beans! Mary clearly tries to make people’s stays very comfortable. There’s a great big garden and gazebo area, just made for parties. There are 3 properties beside each other. The folly, another large house suitable for a large party and the host’s own house. Mary was really lovely and we didn’t feel that it mattered that she lived so close by. It’s a bit out of town on a small country road. We walked to the Hoban hotel, about 10 minutes. Would be very happy to return there again.
I’m having a problem thinking of something I didn’t like. There are always pros and cons but the pros so so so outweighed the cons that there is nothing to complain about.
A great place to stay, a short taxi spin into the city, lovely garden with seating and bbq, Mary was very accommodating and welcoming, would highly recommend the Folly for families or groups, house was stocked with plenty of toiletries/tea/coffee incl coffee machine and milk in the fridge
Absolutely fantastic stay at this property! The house was cosy, beds were comfortable, great location proximity to Kilkenny itself - all in all an absolute treat and will stay again!
Nothing - all was fabulous!
