Extremely warm welcome and clean comfortable stay! Breakfast was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. Homemade scones were the best we’ve ever had! Just a short drive from Kilkenny in the peaceful countryside. Highly recommend this superb B&B!!!

Lovely setting. Great breakfast including oat milk for the dairy intolerant. Comfortable bed and room. Warm, helpful hosts.
The B&B is stunning, our bedroom and en-suite were really spacious. Jimmy and Mairead are fantastic friendly hosts and really went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The breakfast was a real highlight! Thanks so much!
Die Gastgeber sind äußerst zuvorkommend und bemüht. Die Lodge ist sehr schön allerdings in die Jahre gekommen. Als wir dort waren war es gerade sehr warm, es gibt da leider keine Klimaanlage und die Fenster sind ohne Fliegengitter. Persönlich ist das Badezimmer auch nicht meins. Die üblichen zwei Hahn Waschbecken wie auch die Dusche sind schon Recht gewöhnungsbedürftig aber funktionieren. Das bei dem Preis das Frühstück nochmal extra hinzukommt, finde ich überzogen. Aber für zwei Tage war's OK.

Soggiorno molto piacevole, ottima accoglienza, non mancava nulla! Posizione tranquilla, comunque ben segnalata, colazione super!
Hele fijne kamer met een fijne host. Lekker ontbijt. Lokatie is goed aangegeven en is ook makkelijk te vinden Het is lekker rustig en parkeren was makkelijk. Lokatie is 10' rijden naar Killenny. Ik vond dit echt perfect. Mushroom & Rocky (katten) waren ook lief. (Ze kwamen niet op de gast accomodaties).

Everything! It really couldn’t have been better. The house is beautiful, rooms are spacious, comfortable and well equipped and the breakfasts were excellent. The hosts were extremely welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was fantastic.

Great location, very peaceful place. Mairead was very welcoming and offered some good tips for places to eat and visit in the area. The room had everything you needed and was spacious and clean.
Everything was great, no complaints.
Wonderful stay at this property. Spacious comfortable rooms, in a country atmosphere. It cooled down at night so the heat of the day was bearable. Outstanding breakfast each day. Freshly cut fruit cup with yogurt, and still warm home-made pastries to start. Followed by a full cooked breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Even blood pudding, if you like. The hosts, Mairead and Jimmy, are a delight. You would be hard -pressed to find better lodging in/around Kilkenny.
Hard to find any negatives. The bed was comfy, but the pillows could use an upgrade.
Sfeervolle accommodatie, fijne grote kamer, verrukkelijk ontbijt, hele lieve gastvrouw die je voorziet van alle informatie over de omgeving en Ierland en er alles aan doet om het je comfortabel en naar de zin te maken. Wij kijken er met warme gevoelens op terug.

We were given a choice of items for a cooked breakfast and that was cooked for each of us plus there was a great range of continental goods.

It’s located a bit outside the city, in a rural and beautiful setting! Cozy and beautiful!
There was nothing negative about this accommodation.
The owners were fantastic, they gave us quite a few places to visit
First of all, it was fantastic...a beautiful lodge in a very quiet location and only a 15-minute drive from Kilkenny. Mairead and Jimmy were the PERFECT hosts, very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The house, the rooms...everything was very lovingly, homely, and stylishly furnished and coordinated; we've traveled a lot, but here we felt at home from the very beginning. Thank you Mairead and Jimmy for letting us experience your hospitality for two weeks. Esther, Lara & Thomas

La qualité de l'accueil et celle des petits déjeuner. La chambre de 30 m2. Mairead fait vraiment le maximum pour que tout se passe bien. Hautement recommandé

Alles was tiptop in orde. Prachtig huis met heel veel mooie dingen, warme gastvrouw- en heer die er voor zorgden dat alle gasten een fijn verblijf hadden. Geweldig ontbijt, nog nooit zulke lekkere porrigde gegeten. Alles schoon en gastvrij. Ruime kamer en heerlijk matras. Goed sanitair.

We chose Newlands Lodge because it was out of town, but just a short drive away. You will need a car if you stay here. Our host was wonderful, offering ideas on where to eat and activities. Our room was large and spotlessly clean. We felt very welcomed here.
Everything was great.
Beautiful lodge in garden setting. Comfortable Room and bed and the hosts are really kind and helpful. Fabulous breakfast, a first class B&B which rarely exists anymore.
The best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed at in Ireland. The hosts truly love people. Our room had so many small and thoughtful touches that made it beautiful and restful. The breakfast was better than any restaurant. The hosts were very knowledgeable about local places to visit. They love talking to their guests and getting to know them. We loved our stay here.
Quaint lodge nestled in the countryside and surrounded by beautiful gardens.
Fabulous husband/wife team that go above and beyond to meet all your needs and make you feel welcomed.
N/A Everything was lovely.
The hosts were friendly, accommodating, and very helpful with their knowledge of things to do/see in the area. The breakfast was top notch, the grounds and facilities were perfect. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Comfortable, quiet, good views.
The property is absolutely stunning. We loved the very spacious room with all amenities. To top it all, Mairead is an amazing host. She was warm, welcoming, and generous. Even though we didn't have breakfast included in our stay, Mairead was very kind in preparing one for us. She's lovely to chat with. Overall, the property and the room are very charming. Its only a short drive out of Kilkenny.
I have only good things to stay about Newlands Lodge
Superb breakfast options starting with fresh fruit salad served on pretty country style china. Chatty informative host. Tastefully appointed room, eclectic furnishings, very comfortable. Offered to put heating on if we were cold!
Quiet, big room, comfortable king sized bed, lovely grounds and away from the tourist bustle.

Beautiful home and gardens. Lovely quiet location with welcoming host. We thought breakfast was included but checked and we only booked the room. However, our host was very generous in providing us a continental breakfast at no additional charge. Easy parking.

The host was warm and welcoming. Breakfast was delightful and the decor was charming
Rooms were airy and very clean .
Exceptional accomodation in a cosy house and room. Very friendly hosts. Excellent breakfast.
Excellent English breakfast cooked to order. Also fresh fruit salad + cereal and fruit juice provided.
No need to improve. Proprietors were most friendly and welcoming.
Very good location, nice and quiet but still close to Kilkenny.
Lovely property in spectacular area of Co. Kilkenny. Hosts Mairead abd Jimmy very welcoming and really knowledgeable about places of interest in the area. We visited places we would never have know about without their advice.
Very little. The property is about 5 km outside Kilkenny and 5 km from Kells so you really need a car and you need someone to be a designated driver to get back from dinner at night.
Great hospitality, the hosts will go out of their way to please. The breakfast is out of this world.
Very cute home. If B B Mini
Super comfy bed. Spacious room with all the amenities. Water bottles, robes, iron and hairdryer.
Maraid made us very welcome and was very helpful for our visit to Kilkenny. Breakfast was lovely and the room was the best we'd had in Ireland.
wonderful host, comfortable, charming room, excellent food
The bedroom was massive, beds were comfortable, Breakfast was outstanding! I lost my brand new earring down the back of the sink UBEND which they have said they will get a plumber to get it for me the next time they have a plumber around ! The Irish Dental Association hold their yearly conference here every year in Kilkenny so I will be telling more colleagues about this house.
Location, comfort and tranquility. Very friendly hosts.
Hosts were friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was excellent.
Absolutely everything. We had a warm welcome from Mairead and Jimmy when we arrived and they treated us like royalty. The Lodge is charming in every way. The facilities are superb, as was the food. I’m sure we will return!
I can think of not a single thing - except that we didn’t decide to stay longer!
Everything about this property is PERFECT! The rooms, the comfort, the cleanliness, the outdoor patio, the little treats and tea/coffee left out to enjoy, the homemade breakfast in the morning….AND the hosts! They are both incredibly kind. Please look no further…this is the place to stay! ♥️
I loved everything about the property.
Host extremly nice. Very nice room. Bed confortable. Super super clean place. Very nice breakfast. Everything was great ! 😊 I highly recomand to stay at Newlands Lodge
Beautiful rooms and truly exceptional hosts. Along with the amazing breakfasts as well. The location is very classy to Kilkenny as well as other nearby things to do and see.
The warm hospitality of Jimmy, even though Mairead had to be absent due to unforseen circumstances.
The welcome was very warm and kind. She showed us a room where we could have a drink whenever we wanted and with nice Easter eggs. The room was very spacious and very clean, not to mention the excellent bedding where once under the comforter you didn't want to move. The bathroom with shower was perfect and bright and very clean with different elements for comfort. The breakfast was very copious and with fresh products. Honestly I can't think of a single negative point. Our host gave us information for visits in the area and explanations on different sites to visit. I recommend her with my eyes closed and thank her for her thoughtfulness and kindness. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

It was a perfect location and fantastic accommodation
clean and friendly. very helpful on travel
not close to city centre with no option of shuttle
Mairead and Jimmy were the best hosts my wife and I could have hoped for. They went above and beyond in every way, even doing all they could to help when my wife sustained an injury. They were kind and understanding, even though communication on my end was lacking at times. My wife and I would love to return.
