Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Incredibly peaceful home, comfortable, tidy, and kitchen was well equipped with cooking tools, tea, coffee, and breakfast. Host was attentive and flexible with my arrival time.
Great location - close to where I had to be
Breakfast was poor and very basic. There was no coffee. I feel fresh coffee could have been made.
I arrived with a puncture and the hosts were extremely helpful and immediately tried to repair it which wasn't possible. They then helped me to organise someone to call out and get the car fixed. They made sure I was okay and the car properly fixed before I left the next day. Thanks so much for all your kindness and support! Other guests who stayed at the same time kindly drove me into town so I could get some food and made sure I was okay. Overall it was a great experience and I left feeling reassured that there still is a lot of kindness and helpfulness out there in the world. :-)
Rien
L’accueil, le froid dans la maison (manque de chauffage). Pas de téléviseur en français. Une salle de bains pour 3 chambres .
Did not stay because it was in the middle of no where and did not get answer when knocked on door. There was a car in drive but no answer
Die Küche hat alles Nötigste. Nicht weit weg ist ein Lidl (5 Minuten mit dem Auto). Das Bett ist sehr bequem. Guter Blick
I don’t find place also I don’t receive my refund €90

Sabanas viejas, con mal olor
We have stayed here before. The hosts are kind and helpful. It is a very short drive to Graiguenamanagh. The kitchen and sitting areas are spacious and open to use. The bathroom is shared as stipulated but spotless and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable
I am not a great sleeper at the best of times, but a dog barking all night on this occasion was not helping. Perhaps it is a puppy that will grow quieter. It had not occurred on a previous visit, so this may have been an exception. Otherwise it is in a beautiful area and very good value.
La casa era molto grande e carina peccato non fosse scritto da nessuna parte che era in condivisione con altre persone
Il bagno in condivisione con altre persone mi ha fatto un pò schifo assolutamente non ci tornerei
Küche zum mitbenutzen. Tiere vom Hof.
Etwas hellhörig.
Tipica abitazione irlandese, molto ben tenuta e curata. Accogliente
- Molto distante dai centri abitati (può essere un vantaggio per chi invece cerca tranquillità e isolamento) - Staff assente: all' arrivo non vi era nessuno ad accoglierci e questo ha creato diverse conseguenze: innanzitutto non abbiamo avuto indicazioni su quale fosse la nostra camera, successivamente poi cambiata. In secondo luogo, il funzionamento della doccia non è stato intuitivo, a tal punto da richiedere l'aiuto di altri ospiti. - Va bene solo per una notte, non oltre!
Sehr ruhige Lage. Nebenan gab es noch ein Pferdehof.
Beautiful location. Nicola is a lovely lady .The house is spotless. Comfortable rooms . Lovely quite spot to relax .
Didn't like having to share the bathroom as there were 5 of us on the second night . Also we would have liked more privacy. One of the guests helped himself to our food and drinks . We felt a bit uncomfortable with him there . Wouldn't go back for that reason.
Ideal location, peaceful with lovely views. Hosts fab and gave us great advice re restaurants etc.9
Such a peaceful location and comfortable rooms. Well equipped kitchen also.
Location is in a quiet area on a narrow road but easy to find. We had our own room and house key and shared kitchen and bathroom with other guests.
Other guests who stayed on one of the nights played loud music outside until late hours while they were drinking wine. The didn't tidy the place after they were finished. Host need to erect sign stop music after 11.00pm.
Nice walk into the town
Taxi back in evening was a bit on the expensive side
Nice room in a house not far from Graiguenamanagh. Excellent bed. We went to the Festival of Writing and Ideas in Borris House and we were quite late checking in. We were grateful for the host's kind understanding.
No negatives.
The location was great - loved it. Nicola was lovely and very welcoming - made you feel at home. The bed was comfy, and the facilities were fine. I have no complaints.
It was exactly what we expected
All of the above
Beds were super comfortable and we were able to have separate rooms for the boys which was nice.
The house was very cold, once we were in bed it was fine. It was also a fair distance from Kilkenny which we didn't take into account when we booked.
Breakfast was not required. Kitchen was very good. Location satisfied my requirements Welcome by the owner.
Heat- the room was very cold. Bathroom facilities: I was unaware that the bathroom was communal. TV- I thought it was located in my bedroom and not a living room.
Comfortable room.
Nothing
Quiet but easy to mix with host and hostess and other guests
Our owners were very welcoming, we visited the stables with horses.
Not enough privacy and shared bathroom
Try and make place a bit warm and add more blankets.otherwise it was ok
Just it was cold
Location and friendliness
No one to greet us or show us our room. No hot water following morning No heating on when we arrived Shared bathroom
It was perfect hosting, Clean,comfortable,quality My little one loves to be there and feels like he is at home . we had a walk around the horse barn and had a great time
Nice location
When we met the owner first we were greeted with abruptness from her, and we were not made to feel welcome. her attitude towards us improved shortly afterwards but we could not get comfortable , we felt like we were imposing in their home. We left early the next morning without getting breakfast as we felt too uncomfortable to use the kitchen
Very friendly host who made us most welcome
friendly,clean,comfortable
no TV or on suite
Friendly and engaging couple who are very welcoming. The house is set in wonderful surroundings with stunning views. All the modern conveniences including fast wifi. Not too far from the nice town of Graiguenamanagh but at the same time very secluded.
I'm requesting a full refund. I arrived at the house at 2pm and couldn't find anyone to assist check in, nor was I supplied with a code to gain access. I was very stuck and actually had to sleep in my car. A horrible experience. Please refund my account in full ASAP or I will pursue this and give a full account of my experience on the various platforms online.
Lovely hosts, Eamon and Nicola! We had the treat of being on a property with thoroughbreds! The owner took us up to the hill to watch the riders while they train their horses with the emerald patchwork of Graiguenamanagh in the background, breathtaking! The shared bathroom was not a problem at all and we had wonderful fellow boarders who were kind and respectful. You absolutely must stay at this BnB, biggest bang for the buck! Dingo, their little dog, was the sweetest little guy in all of Ireland! I wanted to take him home.
Nothing!
Utterly charming and scenic
Loverly location, very clean, very friendly host, perfect in every way.
Nothing
The place was nice, but you need a car, as not accessible by public transport. So either a 20 min walk to nearest village on a very Windy single lane with no pavement so not good to walk.only 2 buses daily or very expensive taxi. No breakfast just croissants so not good value .
Lack of information about where it is situated, so lt needs to be made clear to tourists. Its really not accessible without own car.no breakfast .
People very warm and kind. The owner spent time with me showing horse stables, training tracks, explaing horse training details. The kitchen was available, and the lady helped us to spend our time there, at the best, suggesting a great beach to go for example.
If I've to find a limit is the position: fanstastic if you like the Nature, not very close to Kilkanny if it's your target. Nothing else indeed.
The room is OK, everything is clean and the owner is fantàstic.
The bathroom is shared and it's not clear when you book. This is not really a problem, but I think they should write it clear when you book the room.
Hosts were great
Beautiful countryside surroundings...Eamon is a horse trainer and is happy to show guests the horses and the care he takes looking after them..
I couldn't find anything that I didn't like.
Excellent location very close to Graiguenamana, got a chance to see some beautiful race horses close to the property, excellent hosts.
Hosts were great. Loved seeing the racing horses in action.
Leaving.
A last minute booking but a pleasant surprise!
Great value for money in a quiet scenic location. Very friendly host, with use of kitchen and living room. Comfortable room with a spacious bathroom just down the hall.
Everything was great.
Very welcoming nice to see the family ‚s racing yard Barbara
Very friendly great hosts nothing was a problem showed us where to go what places to visit had the run of the whole house great value going back there again
That it is in a beautiful part of Ireland that not many travellers will stumble upon. It cost a bit more but I had a private room with a double bed. It was nice and clean. The host Nichola was super friendly and helpful, made me feel right at home.
There was a bathroom to share and if you had to go, there might have been someone else in.
Very welcoming with offer of refreshments. Room, clean ND comfortable. Lovely location and the special treat of a tour of the Stables. Thankyou Nicola
It was centrally located near the shops and restaurants.
Fantastic location just outside the main town, a beautiful view out the window to the horse stables at the back. Wonderful host!
Beautiful house with many horses around. The host is very friendly.
It was like staying with friends and we felt right at home. Loved the horses and the morning routine.
Beautiful farm house with lots of animals about.
Lovely hosts who were very accommodating. We were greeted with Tea, Coffee and biscuits on arrival. We stayed in a large spacious room which had a large double and single bed. The bed and pillows were very comfy which resulted in a perfect nights sleep. We had a choice of Cereal, toast, fruit, croissants and cereal bars for breakfast which was an added bonus. There was a selection of toiletries and a hairdryer available if needed. Beautiful surrounding views in a quiet location makes it a perfect place for a getaway. We were also able to go and see the horses which was great!. Many thanks for having us. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and can't wait to return!
Nothing!
The hosts were very friendly and helpful, the horse stud farm was great to take a look at and very interesting, especially if you are bringing kids on your stay. A great atmosphere at the property as well and a nice location. I would certainly stay here again.
Thank you for your warm welcome and kindness. I highly recommend.
Excellent hosts sorted out our navigation woes as we were ignorant of the Irish eir system.
Nothing
Both were good lovely hosts
Nothing to complain about
Actually, I don't want to write a review because it feels like a little secret place I don't want to be ruined. But I still think the man who welcomed us, and all the other people we met, deserves at least a great compliment. Go find out yourself what this place will bring you, you'll be amazed! (tip: wake up early)
Quite area, owner was away and left me key to the house, told me where switch heating on and use the kitchen.
No ventilation in bathroom
Hosts were lovely but didn’t know I was coming despite my booking way in advance - also no postcode provided- had to call mobile no twice and apparently this guy handles bookings .. very disappointed after long journey- hosts were lovely and very apologetic
Excellent host, good clean room. All facilities available. Highly recommended
All good, recommend
