“We had a fantastic time in ths cottage it's absolutely lovely inside and out.”

It's in a lovely and peaceful location not too far from city centre.

It's in a lovely and peaceful location not too far from city centre. I think thare is only a few things that need updating : The downstairs shower and th shower in the main bedroom as they run off the hot water supply, also WiFi as there's none, but apart from that it's w wonderful place and give credit to the owners for a lovely place.
Mr Chardiwal January 2020

“Everything was absolutely prefect and we all enjoyed the stay and loved the house, garden, parking fireplace and big kitchen with all equipment.”

Highly recommended for a quiet place away from work stress and gather with your friends.
Mrs Patterson December 2019

“The photos do not do this place justice.”

It was perfect for our stay with 2 families over New Year’s Eve. Loved the extra touches of the Christmas decorations and the festive treats on arrival. It was like home from home and our boys were delighted that there was a little football pitch just across the road. Would definitely recommend.
Mr Douglas October 2019

“Excellent.”
Mr Dollamore September 2019

“The name of the property on the front wall would be helpful”
Mr Plant August 2019

“4 adults and 4 teens - plenty of room, comfortable accommodation.”

All amenities as described. Owners Mary & John are very pleasant and couldn’t be more helpful. We visit Kk regularly and hope to stay here again in the future.
Mrs O'loan August 2019

“We enjoyed our week at Lovers' Lodge.”

The house was clean, spacious, well-equipped and comfortable; and was nicer than it looks in the photos. It was about a 15-minute walk to MacDonagh Junction shopping centre in Kilkenny (the castle and cathedral were a further 10-15 minute walk away).
Ms Healy July 2019

“We were told that it was a 15 minute stroll to town, but it was more like 30 minutes.”

I would have preferred to know that before we booked. Also there was no WiFi. I didn't specifically ask for it but I assumed that it would be standard so it was a shock to find out there was none. Other than that we had a great stay and the house was beautiful. We had scones ready for us on arrival which was a lovely touch.
Ms Dirk June 2019

“The house is big and light but unfortunarely in a dusty even dirty condition.”

Pans are old and can't be used, we had to clean a lot in the beginning in all the rooms. Worst were lots of cables hanging unused everywhere.
Mrs Hawkins April 2019

“We all loved Lover's Lodge - what a little gem, so big and spacious, photos do not do it justice.”

It is so close to Kilkenny City, ring road and local shops. We would book again as my family loved staying there.
Mrs Coates March 2019

“The cottage itself was very nice plenty of room.”

But the cooker was dirty the oven trays and frying pan had not been washed they were thick with grease and the small pan was only fit for the bin I had to go out and buy another one
Mr Mallett January 2019

“The accommodation is great with just about everything you need.”

There are a few bits of the cottage which are ‘unfinished’ and could use a bit of attention. Other than that it’s a great place to stay.
Mrs Mc Nabb September 2018

“The house was really lovely and had everything you would need there .”

Mary and John were very welcoming and nothing seemed a problem it was a great holiday
Kinkade August 2018

“Great holiday in Kilkenny; beautiful city and beautiful holiday home.”

Will definitely return .
Mr Meaney July 2018

“Very happy with the accommodation.”

It was a lovely welcoming home from home. The owners left us with some great local information and scones tea butter and milk on arrival. The place was lovely clean and quiet. We would certainly like to return. Thankyou so much.
Ms Hummel-gilchrist June 2018
