A wonderful manor house B&B. Excellent location for exploring Kilkenny, Cashel, Cahir and other villages throughout the region. Bountiful breakfasts, beautifully furnished rooms and a stunning property for walks and exploring. Catherine makes you feel at home once you walk through her door. A wonderful find!

Just back from a wonderful stay in the gorgeous Ballghtobin house. Set in beautiful parkland, the house is stunning, with huge bedrooms furnished to an extremely high standard. The attention to detail was simply amazing-- each room (Barracks and the Nursery room) had everything to make the stay perfect. Breakfast in the morning was great- a large selection of fruit, yoghurts, cereals and also the option of a cooked breakfast. The lady of the house, Catherine, really made us and our two dogs feel very welcome and our dogs certainly enjoyed the sniffs and the wildlife in the extensive parkland! I stay in lots of guesthouses in Ireland, UK and Europe but Ballaghtobin house is really in my top 5 best ever! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Unfortunately we only had time to stay at Ballaghtobin for one night but it was a delight and very special. The house is full of Irish charm and history and our room very romantic. Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Ireland. It is centrally located if you plan on staying a few days and roaming the countryside (it's near Kilkenny and Cashel) ; if you are only visiting Kilkenny and plan on spending a few days there you might consider staying closer to town. I thoroughly recommend this B&B.

We were nearing the end of a three week holiday when we arrived at Ballaghtobin. It was wonderful. The history of the house, the grounds, and the a perfectly appointed guestroom and bath made it a destination all its own. The convenient, central location provided access Waterford, Cashel, and Kilkenny. Although a little off the beaten track, it is worth it. Ballaghtobin was our favorite lodging.
