Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Very clean, and comfortable. The best location. Unforgettable breakfast with a view to their royal gardens, and the staff is super kind and friendly. I loved this hotel.

Newlands Lodge has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Kilkenny, 7.4 km from Kilkenny Castle. 10 km from Kilkenny Railway Station and 13 km from Mount Juliet Golf Club, the property features a garden and a terrace. This 4-star guest house offers private entrance. We chose Newlands Lodge because it was out of town, but just a short drive away. You will need a car if you stay here. Our host was wonderful, offering ideas on where to eat and activities. Our room was large and spotlessly clean. We felt very welcomed here.

Set within 1.6 km of Kilkenny Castle and 4.5 km of Kilkenny Railway Station in Kilkenny, Laragh House B&B provides accommodation with seating area. This guest house offers free private parking, luggage storage space and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. Helen was the perfect host. She met me on arrival and welcomed me to the beautiful and spotless bed and breakfast hotel. I was going to a funeral the next day and Helen organised all the taxis and even ironed my shirt and trousers on the day of the funeral. The irish breakfast used quality bacon, and sausages and tea was in abundance The room was so good I did a video to show my brother and we will definitely be staying again.

Seanie's guest house, a property with a bar, is situated in Tullaroan, 15 km from Kilkenny Castle, 31 km from Mount Juliet Golf Club, as well as 47 km from Carrigleade Golf Course. It is located 14 km from Kilkenny Railway Station and provides luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. Staying a Seanie’s was perfect, staff were gracious, accommodating and friendly! The rooms were so clean and very updated! We loved being able to go down stairs to the pub after a long day of sight seeing in Kilkenny and not having to worry about driving or walking far to get back to our room. Great place to stay if staying in Kilkenny is not an option, only a short 10 minute drive.
