Historic house & hotel
Reviewed By vidya sIt's a historic house turned hotel. Lovely place with gorgeous adjoining gardens. Charming and romantic. Rooms were well appointed and mine had a view across the gardens. Centrally located at a stones throw from the Castle which can be reached just walking out of the back garden. Has its own car park from the rear of the hotel. Breakfast was fresh and served to order. Definitely would stay again if am in Kilkenny.
2. Grange Manor Kilkenny
Overall Ratings
5 based on 130 reviews
Bed and Breakfast in an 18th century manor house set in the beautiful county of Kilkenny,(winner of National tourism town 2013) an hour and a half from Dublin and the same from Cork. Ideal location to explore Ireland's treasures. All the rooms in our home are unique and special. Gracious living in such quiet surroundings gives a unique view of Ireland that echos back in time. Modern plumbing, heating and facilities make it perfect.
Wonderful!
Reviewed By 488megtThe first thing we noticed was the spectacular location - the home is set among 26 acres of fields. We were welcomed by Mary, who does a fantastic job at making you feel at home. After a quick walk around to stretch our legs, we settled into the Theatre Room with its painted ceiling, incredible bathroom, and view onto the fields. Ate dinner in the village that night at Mary's Cafe (a different Mary) - very traditional Irish food, with pints of Guinness from the pub up the street! Breakfast was made to order, don't miss out on the delicious brown bread (with plenty of butter!) Spent the day in Kilkenny - first stop was the Medieval Mile Museum, which really helped to understand why the city has been so important for centuries. After a short nap back at Grange Manor, Frank drove us back into Kilkenny for a great dinner at Campagne. We didn't want to risk driving on unfamiliar roads after splitting a bottle of wine at dinner - definitely a good idea. The next morning, another terrific breakfast, and Mary even packed a few extra scones for us to snack on for our drive back to Dublin. The gorgeous home, in a beautiful setting, coupled with Mary and Frank's warmth as hosts, made this a memorable stay!

Quaint B&B in Kilkenny
Reviewed By castlecjEimer was a delight, and our room was cozy and full of character. The B&B sits right along the lovely river. Breakfast was wonderful, with a spread of homemade items and fruit and drinks, and also hot items made to order. Walking distance to Kilkenny Castle and downtown. I highly recommend a stay at the Bridge View B&B!

Irish hospitality at its finest!
Reviewed By Lynne LWarm welcome, gracious hosts, wonderful breakfast, quiet, comfortable, convenient location and parking. Yes, perfect! We were on the last leg of our trip and had a bad experience at a local hotel. We found Rosquil House and had an overwhelming sense of relief. We felt safe, at home and comfortable. We were able to easily access Kilkenny. Phil and Rhoda are amazing hosts, informative and conversational. We would absolutely recommend to family and friends and will visit again someday!

Perfect Place for Seeing Southeastern Ireland
Reviewed By morkulaThis place was hard to find: developers had created a second address for a new housing estate, and the poor owner of the new house address was well used to people coming to his house expecting a B&B, ha-ha! However, it was worth finding. The room we had was very comfortable and the owner gave us the ultimate tip on a great restaurant: Petronella. We jumped off from this B&B to visit Waterford, Blarney Castle, and Tipperary (we had come "a long way"). It was convenient to all our destinations, and gave us a Full Irish Breakfast to boot.
