Fantastic property for a large group, plenty of space and different sitting areas. We organised a taxi bus to take us into Kilkenny on the Saturday night, which was hassle free! Beautiful place to stay and fabulous grounds. Thanks Derek!
Nice for a large group. It had history and it was country setting.
No way to dry clothes.
A beautiful big house used for a hen weekend for my friend - she absolutely loved it and the house met all expectations we had and the decorate was exceptional - the old feel from the house give so much character as well. There was so much room for the activities we had planned for this weekend and the bedrooms we all a great size! The host was extremely helpful and accommodating to us from the moment we booked the house last summer. We definitely will be back for another celebration soon!
Gorgeous property and lovely welcome hamper, bedrooms all en-suite with fresh new linen. Modern kitchen. Host gave us lots of info ahead of our stay thanks Derek

Stunning house, absolutely everything you will need Is provided! Spotlessly clean, Emily was so lovely and easy to deal with it. Will definitely recommend 100 percent. Especially if for large group!
Had an absolutely stunning stay here. Great communication and a received a lovely hamper and prosecco. I couldn’t recommend it more. We had a large group stay and even came home early from a night out to spend it in the beautiful house instead.
No complaints at all
The space in the house for such a large group. The cleanliness and facilities in the house.
Nothing!
We had the most amazing weekend for my 60th birthday. There was room for everyone and we just loved Mountrothe House. Emily was so helpful and the house is super amazing.
We stayed at Mountrothe house for my friend’s hen party and every detail was perfect for a group booking. The house was easy to find and had plenty parking. The house is prettier than the pictures and has everything you could possibly need for hosting a group, we cooked and held dinner for 16 adults one night with ease. Loads of glassware and dinnerware for cocktails, serving, etc. The conservatory is beautiful and we enjoyed the space for drinks and coffee in the morning. Good Wi-Fi and a smart tv. Taxi to Kilkenny was 15 minutes, party bus was €10 per head. It was easy to get entertainment booked to the house from Kilkenny town also.
I really couldn’t fault it. Will definitely book again
Everything. The house is just stunning. Emily & Derek were excellent. So responsive on run up to the trip and welcoming on arrival. The food hamper and prosecco (already chilling-in the wine fridge) were so appreciated and a wonderful touch. The fresh flowers too. The photos don't do it justice. We will be back! Thank you so much
Nothing. Just fabulous
The property is stunning and we had an amazing time. Emily and Derek went above and beyond to make sure we had an exceptional stay. There was so much space, the house is beautifully decorated and we couldn’t have asked for more from our stay!
Comfortable and cosy stay in winter. We booked for a gathering of friends and we had a lovely stay. The period house is fantastic, it is full of character, has interesting features, spotlessly clean, warm and well equipped. It is large and accommodated us all very comfortably, every room is generously sized. It is in a quiet area, with lovely views across the countryside. The host met us and was warm and welcoming. Fresh flowers and a generous hamper of goodies in the well stocked kitchen. One of the best houses I have rented, exceeded expectations, can't wait to return.
Perfect in every way.
Such a beautiful place to stay just outside of Kilkenny town. Comfortable, clean, well equipped, spacious and luxurious. Would highly reccomend!
I like how spacious it is. Lots of rooms and each room has its own toilet and shower. Downstairs has a piano room, dining and sitting room. Location was very quiet and private.
Very minor detail really. They are still renovating the place so i can smell some fresh paint and concrete.
We were a group of friends on a weekend away and had an amazing stay at this country house. Very well equipped kitchen (including a welcome hamper), lovely outdoor BBQ area at back and sun room. Beds are very comfortable. Derek and Emily were very helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay again - this place is a gem.
Nothing to report.
Fabulous period house and grounds with plenty of space. Great countryside location. Very close to motorway and Kilkenny. The house was fully equipped with all you could need.
Everything was great, the house is unreal, the location is gorgeous, it was well set up, nicely stocked, and everyone was very friendly.
Maybe the basement could be dehumidified a bit, but then, it's a basement in a very old and very large house, so, you know, it is what it is and I wouldn't complain, but if you're asking me for a negative, there it is, but again, I loved the house, would recommend!
This house is stunning! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe. It has been so beautifully restored, each room tastefully finished with all the character of the house retained. The bedrooms are very spacious and each one has a beautiful en-suite. The master en-suite is beyond amazing! The welcome hamper was packed with beautiful local produce and the bar fridge contained complimentary bottles of Prosecco…what a treat!
There is nothing I would change about this house.
The team at Hélène Broderick Interiors had our company outing at this meticulously restored Georgian house. The trip was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The communication with the owner, Derek, was top-notch, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. Upon our arrival, we were delighted to find a welcome food basket waiting for us, a thoughtful touch that was truly appreciated. It set the tone for the rest of our stay, where every detail was carefully considered to make us feel at home. The location in Kilmachill, Kilkenny was not only picturesque but also incredibly convenient, making it easy for us to explore the surrounding area and it is only a 15 minute drive into Kilkenny City. The house itself was a treasure trove of history and elegance, with modern amenities seamlessly integrated to provide the perfect blend of comfort and luxury. We also loved the Nespresso machine and the Prosecco in the wine fridge. Special thanks to Emily, who looked after us during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our well-being did not go unnoticed. Overall, our experience at Mountrothe House was unforgettable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with a touch of luxury. Thank you to Derek, Emily, and the entire team for a truly fabulous stay.
