“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

“We had a wonderful stay at Lovers Lodge.”

It was in a quiet neighborhood, and had plenty of room for my family to feel comfortable.
Mr Hunter April 2018

“A group of 5 of us needed a base to explore the East Coast of Ireland and we found a real gem in Lovers Cottage.”

4 VERY comfortable bedrooms with 3 great bathrooms were very welcome after long days seeing the sights of Kilkenny. We probably spent more time in the kitchen than anywhere else though. Everything you could need was at hand and the large table came in handy for a few games of cards and scrabble that were very kindly provided by our hosts. A 15 minute amble and you are in the lovely town centre which is really worth an explore. If you have a car you are just an hour or so from so many amazing towns on the east coast of Ireland, making Kilkenny a perfect location for this side of the country. Thank you for your kindness Mary, the scones went down a real treat.
Mrs Hunter March 2018

“Cottage is well located for access to central Kilkenny.”

Large and comfortable with a helpful landlady. Wood burning fire in living room is very cosy. Three large bathrooms. Yard outside handy for exercising children! Local park nearby. Cottage was clean but not immaculate. Plenty of off road parking. You have to pay to dispose of household waste, which needs driving to a dump. Seems odd, think this should be included in the cost of the cottage. I'd recommend the cottage and Kilkenny for an Irish getaway.
