Cottage vacation rentals in Kilkenny

We enjoyed a lovely weekend reunion with friends from around the world. It was the perfect location for lots of chats and had great facilities to cook for all 6 of us. The hot tub was lovely as we listened to the rain hit the tin roof.

Beautiful setting and wonderful accommodation for relaxing getaway . House was stocked with food and drink to start our stay. Bedrooms felt like 5 star hotel. We enjoyed the tennis courts, hot tub and nature trail walk.

We had a lovely stay, it was nice to experience somewhere traditionally Irish. Clean, tidy, comfortable beds, the hot tub was great, very clean. We will definitely recommend and hope to return one day! Thanks very much!

I had a wonderful experience staying at Owenie's cottage! From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the essentials (and then some). The bed was super comfortable, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like the chocolates and breakfast items left for us. The location was ideal—quiet, safe. Communication with the host was seamless. They were incredibly responsive, helpful. The Jacuzzi was also an excellent addition to the stay. Whether you're visiting for work or leisure, I’d highly recommend this property. I would stay here again without hesitation!

we had such an amazing time at the Cowshed. place is beautiful, clean, peaceful.. surroundings are just gorgeous. Dee is such an amazing person too. didn't get to meet her at check in, but when I messaged her to say my car broke down in durgavan and it was arranged, she came over to meet me and offer help. I was so surprised and thankful for kindness... will never forget it. thank you so much, Dee. Will never forget it and will always recommend it 100000/10.

Felt cozy and homelike. Loved the fresh eggs and attention to detail. Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay. They had really thought about things that other places hadn't that we had stayed in previously such as having toys and books for children that may stay and also sanitary products etc we thought that was very thoughtful. The scones were a lovely touch also. Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in Hogan’s cottage. It’s a traditional cottage, very comfortable with lots of space and all the mod cons, central heating and a nice open fire. Helen and her husband were very welcoming and we got good tips for restaurants (we had delicious fresh hake perfectly cooked at the Hollow Seafood Bar and restaurant) and places to visit. There are so many good places to visit in the vicinity (the Hook Peninsula, The Walled Gardens near Tintern Abbey and so on) And the food left in the fridge and on the shelf was greatly appreciated. There are many trails for walking along the Bannow and the coast. Even with the rain and the wind we managed to do a lot in the week.

The cottage was a perfect reprieve on our busy exciting trip. We really appreciated the quirky decor and the original works of art on the walls. The patio sitting area was so peaceful and lovely. Their two Maine Coon kitties were so huge and friendly! The property is super quiet as it is out in the country, yet it only took a few minutes drive back into town. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good water pressure and hot water. The hosts are extremely responsive and care about their guests. A 10/10 for sure.

My family and I spent two lovely nights in the cottage. Truly a home away from home. It was warm, comfortable and large enough for our party of 3 adults and two toddlers. The communication with our hosts was excellent and very friendly. My only regret is that we could not stay longer in this little paradise. I highly recommend the cottage to anyone who loves nature, walking, relaxing, slowing the pace of life. Thank you Richard and Ben for sharing your house with us!

Fantastic place to stay. An oasis of charm and peace. The stove was lighting when we arrived and we stayed in for the evening. We cooked steaks on the oven top and had some lovely salads that we bought. Had a few visits from Charlie the very friendly dog and our own greyhound, Holly, was pretty enamoured with him. There was brown bread and scones for our breakfast as well as rashers which we loved. The cottage is very comfortable and the double bed affords a restful night's sleep. There was also shampoo, conditioner and shower gel and the loveliest fluffy white towels that I have ever seen. We went into Shillelagh for lunch on Saturday to Moll's place - delicious lasagne followed by homemade apple tart and ice-cream. We went for a nice long walk too down towards the pub from the cottage. We didn't venture to the pub as we were too cosy! We'll definitely be back. It was good for the soul!

we had a wonderful stay at the cottage. very calm place, well furnished. Rita had so nice attentions for us ❤️ and her usband was also very kind with good communication. you have pubs, oil station and supermarket very close to the cottage by car. i recommend this place and these hosts.

Great accommodation in the country side close to Kilkenny. Communication with Anne went very smooth and she was a fanatic host ensuring we had everything we needed!

Exactly as described. Lots of memorabilia to keep your curiosity. Plenty of ideas for walks and trips available with Patrick adding great advice and direction. Loved to dogs and were fortunate with the weather. Lovely friendly and quirky space, fabulously located for what we wanted to do.

It is the perfect place for a couple.

The location of the cottage was perfect for traveling through the South East. All very cosy and close to everything including the greenway. Nicola is an excellent host thinking of everything to make the stay comfortable and memorable. I would really recommend it

This little cottage is just fab- located in a quiet area. My son was extremely happy to see the horses pass by the back of the cottage in the morning. Would highly re commend this place, this is our second time staying and will be back. Sarah was so accommodating, replying immediately to messages. The place is pristine and so cosy. would highly recommend.

Niall and Inez were wonderful hosts. The farm was beautiful and very peaceful. We stayed for 10 days and got to enjoy all the beautiful aspects of the farm; walking trails, petting the horses and enjoying the peacefulness. The cottage was perfect! Very comfortable and felt like home. We enjoyed making a fire in the evenings and cooking breakfast in the mornings. We even made blackberry jam with blackberries from the farm and Inez’s recipe. The cottage we stayed in slept four; we had one couple and one single person and it was plenty of room. We felt very safe while staying on the farm. We utilized the laundry and that was very convenient. We rented a car to get around and enjoyed many local restaurants, coffee shops and castles. Niall was very responsive when we had questions or needed anything. When we arrived he gave us a quick tour of the farm grounds and cottage pointing out where things were. The farm is a must stay if looking for a peaceful place to stay.

Thank you Riana for 5 wonderful nights at the beautiful Heron Cottage. We were absolutyely thrilled with everything. It was the most exquisite place to stay for a short break with my 90 year old mother, immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable. We loved the gorgeous decor and it was equipped with everything you could wish for. Everything is so easy to work, with super instructions readily available. The private steps to the beach make for a magical journey over to the harbour where we feasted on fish and chips and the outdoor seating was just perfect to relax with a glass of wine. The location is superb for touring around. We were blown away by the beauty of the place and it's fascinating history. Heron cottage is a very special place and Riana is the most welcoming, most generous host as was her lovely daughter who greeted us on arrival. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy a holiday here. To be honest we didn't want to leave and we hope to return.

Had a lovely stay at Mary’s place! She was extremely responsive throughout and met us upon check in to make sure we found it easily enough. 30 minutes to Ballinastoe woods and 50 minutes to Glendalough. Comfy beds and cozy living room with games and movies!
