EXTREMELY helpful owners - we were helped to find our luggage, to take our luggage upstairs, and also were taken to city centre
Very welcoming
Family environment
Very Spacious room provided overlooking the front entrance - nice view
Clean
Leisure possibilities - games in the breakfast rooms, front 'garden' to relax in, piano
Flight of steps to 1st floor where there are the guestrooms doesn't have many steps
Quiet environment surrounding the B&B, yet there's a pub nearby + in around 10-15min slow walk one finds himself in city centre
Great stay in Kilkenny at Melrose!
Thanks

We were met by a very service-minded and friendly owner when we arrived here. The room was spacious and bright, and clean. The shower was not good, there was almost no pressure and the drain seemed quite clogged. The bathroom was permanently damp and we had to leave the window open, which made it quite cold as this was in spring. Paper thin walls meant we heard the other guests and the owner family, but it was quiet at night. Breakfast was quite good, except the tea (it had a thick, grey film on top of it). It was quite a walk in to the centre, which would have been ok if the surroundings had been a bit less dreary. All in all not too bad.

Very clean, comfortable accommodations; and well-situated near town, MH was as truly a home away from home. Nuala was a gracious, personable and helpful host which made our stay that much more enjoyable. Excellent breakfasts. As B&B's go, this is a #10.

I cannot say a bad thing about this B&B. My three traveling companions and I showed up quite early on the day of our reservation (we overestimated travel time!) but Nuala was very obliging, and didn't miss a beat in offering us our rooms, although they were still being prepped.

While we unloaded our bags and set to hit the town, she provided us with a map and loads of information regarding places to visit, shop and eat. She really was the pinnacle of Irish hospitality that everyone seems to hear about. And her children were darling, especially Tara the terror. ;)

The rooms were cozy and the bathrooms well stocked with a myriad of bath supplies. The breakfast the next morning was lovely as well. The location is only a short walk through town, but not short of sights to see along the way. Kilkenny is one of those towns I only gave an overnight stay, but next time I will give it at least 2 and stop by this wonderful B&B again.
