Luckily we had decent weather because it was a bit of a walk down into town (20 minutes). All in all good place for 8 people to stay together ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa O. 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent cottage! Great cottage not far from town. Clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend. ##### Lisa O.

Our family of six was very comfortable in this house. Checkin was easy, and we were greeted with delicious scones. Plenty of parking space for two cars and only a short walk into Kilkenny. Loved our stay and would recommend this property highly for adults and families looking for a peaceful retreat. ##### Brian H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary G., La Quinta, USA 31 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovers Lane , Kilkenny This was a very lovely house, however there was an oil leak with a VERY STRONG ODOR !! This odor gave me a headache. The owner was aware of this problem because her son came over shortly after we arrived, said that they would get someone out to repair it but after 4 nights it was not repaired.. The electric tea kettle had so much red liquid sediment in it I was afraid to use it .. The liquid hand soap dispenser was almost empty in the bathroom. No extra toilet paper was provided. ##### Mary G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela H. 6 Apr 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage Lovely cottage and well equipped. Its about a 20 minute walk into town but it is all flat walking. The only downside to the property is that there is no wifi. The bars and attractions are great and people extremely friendly. We all enjoyed our visit. Would definitely go back. ##### Angela H.
