Living in Ireland we have travelled to Kilkenny many, many times, however this was our first stay in Butler House. To stay in Butler House is a privilage - the house is almost 300 years old, built as the Dower House to Kilkenny Castle, so it's as close to staying in the castle as you could get! despite being 300...

A 3-day trip to the lovely Medieval city of Kilkenny was made even more enjoyable with a stay at the Butler House. The Georgian building is gorgeous with original details throughout the interiior. The more contemporary Craftsman fuirniture is an elegant complement to the building. We had a garden and castle view that was lovely. The staff was very helpful... More

This, perhaps, has the best location of any accommodation we had in Ireland. Right in the centre of town (still very quiet) overlooking the Castle and the walled garden. Our suite on the top floor was massive and nicely decorated, the bathroom (with bath) was generous and modern and the bed nice and firm. We were warmly welcomed on arrival... More

We loved our stay in Butler House and the view of the Gardens from both our room and bathroom. It was wonderful to walk through the gardens for our breakfast in the Design Centre in the morning and than brose through the shops when they opened at 10. We stayed here half way through our trip as a place to... More

Great suite, the floor creaked but who cared. We spread out, soaked in the bath tub and loved the local Indian restaurant just down the way. In the morning it was lovely to walk through the walled garden to breakfast in the Design Centre. Richard was so kind and helpful and has a great sense of humor. He loves Australian... More
