“Wonderful stay at Killarney House, Killkenny”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Killarney House. Terry had me in for a cup of tea and made sure I had everything I needed. He also gave great directions into town (a 10-15 minute walk) and honest recommendations about restaurants. The room was small but comfortable and clean with a very nice view over the garden. Breakfast in the solarium was particularly nice, with a full Irish breakfast cooked to order. I would definitely stay at Killarney House again.

“Comfortable B & B in Kilkenny”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2008

Killarney House is about a 15 minute walk from the town centre or train station in Kilkenny, but Terence will pick you up if requested. My single room was small with the world's most compact bathroom, but with an effective hot shower. The 45 euro rate includes a very good full Irish breakfast. The room had a tea maker, tissues, shampoo, and a 110v shaver outlet, all of which were appreciated. The busy road outside can be quite noisy with the bedroom window open. Credit cards are accepted.

  • Liked — Very good breakfast. Pick-up from bus station.

“Traditional Irist B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2006

people found this review helpful

(March 2006) My wife, niece and I booked our first night in Ireland at the Killarney House. We generally only make reserations the first and last days of vacationing as we don't know where we may want to stop. there were no reviews on the internet so we really didn't know what to expect. Once in Kilkenny on Saturday the trafic was a mess. Apparently Kilkenny draws in a lot of the countryside on the weekends. (Hen Parties?) We had to call Terence for directions and he immediately showed up and guided us to the guesthouse. Although not too complicated, directions would be nice if they were on his website - [--]

The facility somewhat older but has been converted to ensuite. The rooms are adequately furnished and the location to town center is about a ten minute walk. We had two rooms and the rate was around 28 euro pps. Terence and his young daughter were excellent hosts and are more than pleasent to visit. The heating goes off at 10:00 then back on in the morning so blankets are furnished. Parking is tight when there is a full house. Breakfast was the usual full Irish. This is the Ireland that I remember from our previous trip when we tried to stay away from the hotels and the newer accomodations. This place has more of a local flair and we liked it. - Larry & Kelly, Georgetown, Texas
