“The finest B and B you could hope to find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I have just returned from two nights at Newlands, and am absolutely delighted to recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious B and B close to Kilkenny. Here's a more technical rundown:

The Hosts: Mairead and Jimmy are wonderful and receptive, providing a level of service and expertise borne of their own extensive worldwide travel experience. They are attentive and eager to please, but also conscientious enough to give you the space to relax.

The Rooms: exceptionally spacious, quiet, luxurious. Ensuites are modern, with the finest power shower that I have encountered in my time upon this earth.

The Breakfast: simply wonderful down to the tiniest detail. Freshly baked scones and pain au chocolat, great coffee, well-sourced produce and the finest black and white puddings that a carnivore could wish for. On the lighter side, their smoked salmon and scrambled eggs were equally fine.

I have been on a very lengthy tour of Ireland for the past few months, and have yet to encounter a hotel or guesthouse quite like it. Enjoy!

“Amazing B&B and our favorite stay in all of Ireland!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Newlands lodge is hands down incredible! Mairead, the hostess, was so sweet, welcoming and friendly. Upon our arrival, she greeted our family with coffee, tea and homemade cupcakes! Their home is so lovely with beautiful and spacious rooms. Each room is warm and has so much character. The Irish breakfast was amazing and very filling! I wish we would have stayed more than one night. I highly recommend Newlands Lodge for at least two nights! Kilkenny is a must stop place! Mairead had great suggestions on what to see & where to visit. This super cute town was not only home of our favorite B&B on the trip, but also home of our favorite restaurant in Ireland, Langtons! We can't wait to go back!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

Mairead and Jimmy are excellent host and their country home is absolutely wonderful. Large bedrooms, lovely decor, and the breakfast was wonderful. Best place we stayed at on our trip, and we look forward to going back. Newlands Lodge will be top of our list.

“Our favourite B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Mairead is an absolute gem!! Emailing us info to help us plan the rest of our Ireland holiday, which was greatly appreciated. Newlands was our first B&B and we were truely spoilt, as no other B&B we stayed at came close. Beautiful setting, very clean, and the breakfast was excellent. We would definitely stay again, and we have been recommending Newlands to all our family & friends. Thank you Mairead and Jimmy.

“Excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

We unfortunately only stayed for one night at this amazing B&B. I would definately recommend it to those who will be staying in Kilkenny. The hosts were extremely welcoming and very helpful. The house is really beautiful, would recommend to stay more than one night to enjoy the beauty of it! Mairead and Jimmy did a fantastic job and the breakfast is excellent too!! will surely return if i'll go back to ireland again!!
