“Terrific accommodation”

Glory Cottage is perfect for a holiday in the Co. Kilkenny region. Its central location in Kells enabled us to travel north, south, east and west through south-east Ireland. The cottage is so well equipped. We have stayed in a lot of self-catering accommodation in Europe and the US and Glory Cottage has the most comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water and a great shower head. The wood heater certainly warmed the whole house and the lounge was still warm in the morning ...

Glory Cottage is perfect for a holiday in the Co. Kilkenny region. Its central location in Kells enabled us to travel north, south, east and west through south-east Ireland. The cottage is so well equipped. We have stayed in a lot of self-catering accommodation in Europe and the US and Glory Cottage has the most comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water and a great shower head. The wood heater certainly warmed the whole house and the lounge was still warm in the morning. The cottage is next to the river and has a large deck on the back which would be delightful on a summer day. We were able to watch a beautiful full moon rise over the surrounding fields. We did have a little trouble with the wi-fi but otherwise were thoroughly happy.

“Superb”

Stayed here over the Christmas period with friends. The house is fantastic and very cosy. Owner is very helpful and friendly. House even had stuff you would not expect like board games, dvds, fishing rods, tennis rackets etc. We will most definitely be returning.

The property

This eco-friendly cottage sits in a serene location upon the banks of the King's River, less than one mile from the village of Kells, County Kilkenny.

With two comfortable bedrooms and a modern, open plan living area, this airy, single-storey Kells cottage is perfect for a small family or a couple looking for a peaceful getaway.

Create culinary delights in the bright and fresh fitted kitchen, or spend an evening by the warmth of the woodburner, an ideal respite after a busy day exploring.

The raised decked area promotes a perfect viewpoint for the glorious sights of the King's River and the Kilkenny countryside beyond.

This idyllic, tranquil space is perfect for a barbecue or a simple relaxing afternoon where the lull of the river will inspire you to partake of a spot of fishing.

The local shop and pub are within a ten minute walk of your cottage in the medieval, walled village of Kells, and here you will also find the beautiful 12th century Augustinian priory, which stands as one of the most imposing and notable monuments in Ireland.

Stay closer to home and make the most of the riverside location, as by taking a canoe you can see County Kilkenny with a fresh perspective.

Kilkenny is only eight miles from your Kells cottage; and with Dublin, Waterford and many of Ireland's beaches all within easy access, your cottage will be a perfect touring base to return home after a busy day.

This eco-friendly Kells cottage has access to a seasonal fruit orchard, so why not pick a sweet treat or two?

Here you will find a peaceful, guilt-free holiday where you can experience a taste of the good life, with a little bit of added luxury.

About the location

KELLS, COUNTY KILKENNY

Kilkenny 8 miles.

A medieval walled village situated on the King's River, Kells is perhaps best known for its 12th century Augustinian Priory which dominates the local landscape and is one of the largest and most impressive medieval monuments in Ireland. The village itself occupies a picturesque, rural location some 8 miles south of the vibrant city of Kilkenny, and is an excellent spot for fishing, canoeing or simply exploring the countryside on foot. History buffs can visit Jerpoint Abbey, the high crosses at Ahenny or one of Ireland’s oldest megalithic tombs at Knockroe.
