“Lovely!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

Wonderful welcome and great room and breakfast. The rooms are large and well furnished. The gardens are beautiful and seem to pull the colors in the bedrooms right into them. Breakfast was very good and Mary's hospitality could not have been better. She gave us a tour of her property and it could not have been better. The green houses were interesting. The ring fort was astounding...and we loved walking around it. Who knows what secrets lie there?
Mary, thank you so much for a memorable stay.

“A great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

Mary gave us such a warm welcome on our arrival, along with much appreciated tea and scones. Our room was a spacious, modern family room (there were 3 adults in our party) and was very clean. The beds were very comfortable, there were plenty of towels available in the bathroom, and the room was lovely and warm, which wasn't the case in a couple of other B&B's we stayed in. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order.

Mary even knew some of the people that my Mum knew, when she lived in Ireland as a child 60 years ago, so hearing about them was an unexpected bonus for my Mum.
I would definitely stay here again.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

What a lovely place to stay. Out of the city with beautiful views. Mary made us a cup of tea on arrival and supplied muffins, she is a great lady. Hospitality here is bountiful, rooms are great. Lots of things to see in the area. I will definitely be going back there.

“nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011

we stayed here our first night in Ireland. This was a nice B and B somewhat outside of Kilkenny. We arrived earlier than planned (before the room was ready). Mary gave us muffins and tea and let us store our bags while we went to get some lunch to eat. our room was large and clean. out of the 7 different places we stayed this bed was the most comfortable for me. Also this was one of two places that actually had washcloths to use. So just for that fact this place gets an extra thumbs up. This place is also pretty close to the town of Kells (within 3 miles). There is a really great ruin of a priory there that is a must see. Breakfast the next morning was good. Mary was also kind enough to take us on a tour of the ruin on her property. Also a little side note, this b and b is attached to a nursery that apparently grew the primroses given to Michelle Obama during a visit to Ireland. I would recommend this place to stay. It's out of the big city of Kilkenny, but really not that far of a drive. This was a nice introduction to smaller towns for us in Ireland.

“Delightful Gardens and Large Room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2011

Mary and John Fitzgerald are warm hosts. John makes some of best brown bread that we had in Ireland. Mary's breakfast was fit for a king and sustained us until supper. The room was large, quite comfortable, and overlooked a lovely garden. It was a nice quiet location which offered a relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed talking with Mary and appreciated her taking the time to lead us on a tour of their son's impressive greenhouse operation. This is a very friendly, interesting family.
