We stayed for two nights at Park Villa in July. We found Vicky and Patrick very friendly and helpful...had great conversations about politics and education etc etc. Breakfasts were good. Room was clean and comfortable. The walk downtown was a comfortable 15 minutes. We would have preferred to book directly with the hosts (for questions etc) though...and the six o'clock check-in (or phone call required) did cause a bit of stress for us since we ran behind time and did not have a cell phone. Otherwise a great experience...and we really liked Kilkenny.

The owner, Vicky, is very friendly, and she gave us very useful hints for the visit of the city. And although we arrived without having booked, she had a place for us and welcomed us very warmly.
the B&B is at a very reasonable walking distance from the city center.
Very good Irish breakfast.

I just got back from a tour of Ireland and during my time in Kilkenny I stayed at Park Villa B&B. The rooms were very nice, very clean, and everything was kept up with like a hotel. But the hosts were what made the stay great. They weren’t invasive and didn’t mind my friend and I coming and going. And when we wanted to chat they were more than friendly. And they had great senses of humor which my buddy and I loved, constantly telling jokes. And if I may say so, they loved that we were Americans, which as everybody knows, isn’t exactly the most popular anymore, and nobody wants to hear ANOTHER negative opinion about America or our policies blah blah blah while they are on vacation. Instead the hosts Vicky and Pat were just great, and caring, and kept the conversations light and good humored with plenty of fun and jokes (or as the irish call it “the craic”, pronounced crack). The breakfast was more than I could ask for (more than enough food!). The location was walking distance from all of the towns sites; the huge tower, murphys brewery, the churches, the castle (not to mention the many bars!). All in all it was a great experience. If we ever end up making it back to Kilkenny, there’s only one place I’d stay and that’s at Park Villa.

Wow, the park villa was awesome. It was a bit out of town but it made for a nice walk. The owners were special people who were always happy to talk with us. Breakfast was great and we loved the place. The room was large and pleasantly decorated. We loved it so much, perhaps the owners will come and stay with us.
