Guest Reviews
- Kathryn (10/5): Lovely place, cosy warm apartment in lovely setting. Bryan was great. We would recommend - A warm welcome and great place to stay. Peaceful and quiet. Nothing

- Katrien (9/5): - We verbleven in een zeer smaakvol ingericht appartement op het prachtige domein met landhuis gelegen tussen de groene velden. Eigenaren waren 2 super lieve gastheren die steeds klaarstonden om je te helpen, te informeren. En dit alles op een boogscheut van het gezellige Kilkenny. In de nabijheid van verschillende goeie restaurants. Weinig. Minpuntje is misschien het ontbijt dat al in de frigo klaarstond en je in je appartement kon eten. Maar was een goed ontbijt met kwalitatieve producten.

It is unbelievable what they did with the place. Personally, I would prefer a coat rack as well as two drying rods for wet towels.
- Dianne (9/5): Great location for a few days in countryside - Lovely apartment in beautiful location. Well equipped kitchen and delicious generous breakfast provisions. Shower was hot but had little pressure unlike bath. Perhaps a new shower head?

Bryan met us on arrival and showed us around, explaining all the details and showing us the glorious continental breakfast, which was delicious. Martin, your wheaten bread and marmalade are fabulous. Kilgraney is stunning, a real gem in the most amazing countryside setting. We will be very happy to recommend it to all our friends and colleagues. Thank you both so much. Nothing at all, Kilgraney is exceptional.

There was NOTHING that I did not like.

- Richaix (9/5): Fabulous countryside stay - We stayed in the Lodge and it was snug but adorable. Bryan provided fantastic service for all aspects of our stay : comfort, advice, food....nothing was too much trouble.
Kilgraney House is in the middle of some beautiful countryside and a real pleasure to stay at. Bryan will have repaired this by now, I'm sure, but we had problems with the water pressure to the shower. The toilet mechanism was also temperamental.
- William (10/5): Comfortable, ,relaxed, we felt like in heaven.! - Location was perfect for us, lovely in the countryside, quiet and close to amenities. The owner was very helpful and generous with breakfast and everything else. He gave us all the information we needed regarding restaurants and other amenities. Absolutely nothing, everything was to PERFECTION! We loved the apartment, its decor, comfort, provisions, cleanliness and the "on hands owner ( always there for us)!. Top class!
- Emily (8/5): Stunning property in the country. The staff was lovely. - Incredible charming grounds. Fairytale setting A bit drafty and cold in the space but it’s an old building so understandable.

- Carl (10/5): Exceptional - We had a very pleasant stay. Bryan was a great host and the lodge was perfect. It had everything you need, was very comfortable and the addition of the breakfasts was a very nice touch. The gardens made for a nice walk and overall the grounds were gorgeous. Highly recommend for a short break and the area is handy for a short drive into Kilkenny city. 5 Stars! The only thing that was missing was Wi-Fi in the lodge. Otherwise fantastic overall!
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful setting and lovely accommodation. Well presented and warm welcome by Brian. Shower needs a little more oomph!
- Gavin (9/5): Was a great stay. Brian the host was fantastic and very helpful with local advice and knowledge - Excellent old stone cottages
- Aya (10/5): Beautiful 😊 - The ground and the view was amazing, and loved the breakfast food especially the yoghurt! The man who checked us in was super friendly and helpful, and lovely to chat to.
- Gonzalo (9/5): A really lovely place with a wonderful host, we´ll be back. - Breakfast was very good with home made bread, home made jam, etc. provided, in fact we didn´t expect breakfast (seems the notice was added after our booking), so it was a very nice surprise.
The gardens and orchards are beautiful as well and definitely worth seeing. Why the gardens and the orchards are not mentioned when you book the place is something we can´t understand, they are even listed by the Irish tourist entities.
- Cillian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynn (10/5): Beautiful charming stay - Beautiful grounds, charming property. It was all great
- Natalie (10/5): A lovely cottage set In a beautiful garden in the Irish countryside. - Rose cottage was beautifully refinished, with postcard views out of every window. The continental breakfast was plentiful, and included homemade marmalade and bread. The grounds were amazing, with herb gardens and a variety of plantings. Our hosts Bryan and Michael were delightful, outgoing and readily available. The weather some of the time?!
- Mary (10/5): Welcoming and relaxing in a country setting. - Very cordial, quiet and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful with fully mature trees, lovely flowers and herb gardens surrounding the house. Bryan has been so personable that the stay has been relaxing and memorable. I chose it for proximity to family and it’s been perfect. There are no dislikes to mention.
- Thomas (9/5): Superb -
- Yvonne (10/5): Excellent - Beautiful surroundings, extremely warm and helpful hosts. A true gem!
- Madden (9/5): Superb - Brian was the perfect host, willing to go the extra bit to ensure our stay went well. We were very pleased and will keep it in mind for a return visit sometime.
- Teresa (10/5): Calm and relaxing stay - Bryan and Martin have created a tiny village surrounded by lush, green, fragrant gardens. The grounds are stunning—filled with flowers, herbs, trees, and songbirds. The apartment had everything one needs for a short stay. Breakfast which is stocked in the refrigerator is fresh and delicious. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, including picking us up at the train station. I highly recommend a stay at Kilgraney house.
- Monique (10/5): Perfect Location with Exceptional Host, Exceeded All Expectations. - We stayed at Kilgraney House for just 1 night but wish it could have been longer. We arrived near dusk and were immediately captivated by the majestic drive to the property and well-kept grounds. Brian was a terrific host and extremely knowledgeable of the area. He was so inviting and friendly, it immediately felt like we had known him for some time. He went above and beyond to make our stay more than we could have imagined, helping us refine our itinerary, providing numerous insights, and simply engaging in delightful conversation. We enjoyed feeling his passion for the property and all it has to offer. Inside, the guesthouse was very spacious, clean, with fully up-to-date kitchen and bathroom. It also had a breakfast and sitting area with TV, and an ample supply of breakfast food to use at our convenience - everything we needed to feel at home. The guesthouse is located on a large, quiet property with themed herb gardens, orchards, beehives, woodlands which we were welcome to explore. It is also adjacent to rolling horse pastures which contributed to the serene setting. We highly recommend the Kilgraney House as your base of operations for experiencing the Kilkenny and Waterford areas of Ireland. Everything was great!
