Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Kilkenny

This was the perfect combination of "rural" and "suburban". On a peaceful, country lane, away from the bustle of Tipperary, yet only a 5 minute drive to all the shops and conveniences one would need. Surrounded by sheep, cattle, horses and meadows, it is the quintessential Irish property. Thoughtfully remodeled, it provided all the modern necessities without losing its basic charm. Mary was immediately available to answer questions, and provided excellent feedback. The house itself is well arranged, comfortable, and welcoming...small, but roomy enough so as not to feel crowded. The two fireplaces were a wonderful bonus. Our only issue is the size of the main bedroom. Having to deal with the original floor plan during the remodel, the "master" bedroom is large enough for only a double bed - barely. I only wish I had found out about Mary's other Airbnb rental - in Dublin - before we rented someone else's there. I'm sure hers would have been MUCH nicer than the one we ended up renting!

Emma was was wonderful, always reachable and made checking in and out super easy. Anne was super lovely, giving use great advice and directions on how to get to the pier to see the puffins. The house was wondering and cosy and we had a amazing time. 100% recommend

Had an amazing stay in this property, very friendly host and very beautiful place, cam and quite environment, easy access to town and all the amenities. Highly recommended.

What a great house to stay at. Plenty of space in such a great location. Quiet and peaceful with the Blackrock town only a short walk away. Recommend the breakfast roll from On A Platter at the end of the block. Connie provided some unexpected staples making settling easy. She also put in a lot of effort to get the booking admin right for us. The beds were really comfortable which was quite welcome compared to other AirBnBs on our Europe holidays. We will be back. Thanks again Connie.

Had an amazing 2 nights stay here the pictures do the house no justice it was honestly beautiful and the views are amazing. In such a quiet and relaxing location but not a far a drive from a lot of things to do. Mark let us check in early and check out late with short notice which was a bonus the kitchen was well equipped and they even left fresh bread, milk and butter that was a nice touch. All the beds wore so comfy didnt wanna get out of it in the morning. Will defo try get back in the future thanks again Mark.

Our stay at Flo’s cottage was amazing! The cottage is cozy, beautiful yard, hammocks available, she even stocked the fridge with a few goodies for our arrival! There was a list of nearby pubs, restaurants, and take aways. We were fully stocked with wood for the stove and it was lovely to have in the evenings. Overall I highly recommend this delightful hideaway in the Irish countryside, everything about it is just wonderful! Thanks again Flo!

We stayed at Clodagh's beautiful house for two nights with four children and our dog, and it was absolutely perfect. The kids adored the private beach, and the house itself is full of cosy nooks — perfect for games of hide and seek and for relaxing in the evenings. The views are simply stunning, and the house is just so lovely and welcoming. Everything was immaculate, and Sean was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I honestly can't recommend this house highly enough — we had a wonderful time and would love to return!

Loved our stay, great host and home!

Staying in the cottage was like going back in time to a simpler world where nature and life go side by side. iIt is a beautiful cottage set in a courtyard which looks like something from an old painting. it oozes character and charm and tranquility. The grounds, the animals, the staff at Ballymaloe, the food and the welcome. We brought our puppy and he loved it we can't wait to go back.

Fantastic location and i had a small issue that Robyn dealt with immediately. Lovely location would highly recommend to anyone

The Stables was a truly unique and charming place to stay! The home, thoughtfully refurbished from horse stables built in the 1880's, was full of character while still being comfortable and inviting. Our host, Sarah, was exceptionally kind and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We would highly recommend The Stables to anyone looking for a memorable and welcoming Airbnb experience.

Michelle was so accommodating and kind. We booked the same day of arrival and Michelle went out of her way to go to and clean and sort out the place before our arrival. The home is perfect for families and pets. The estate’s amenities are great, and we enjoyed tea and scones in the club house as well as use of the leisure centre.

A rare find. such a wonderful property. Clean, beautifully furnished with so many thoughtful, meangful touches. Dog was safe at all times, chickens were an absolute joy to watch and eggs were as fresh as you can possibly get. The views over the sea are incredible. The host was a pleasure to deal with, so helpful. Thank you and hopefully we will get a chance to visit again.

We really enjoyed a peaceful few days in Niall's place in late October. We are a family of four with kids aged 8 and 6. The cottage was very cozy with stoves and plenty of fuel. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed. We slept well in really comfortable bedrooms. The surroundings are so peaceful and the additional facilities of the barn with table tennis, sports equipment, games, etc really added to the experience. The cottage is well located and within an hours drive in any direction there is lots to visit. The local village is very nice with two lovely pubs and a picturesque harbour

Eamon was a fantastic host from start to finish. Very friendly and helpful and communicates really well. The cottage was lovely, clean ,quaint and cosy. We had a great family holiday there and the kids loved exploring the garden. Would highly recommend.

It was lovely staying at the house, beautiful big bathroom and kitchen/dining area, windows were big and nicely designed with the arch structure, the stairs were nice and wide and spacious, and the overall architecture of the house was beautiful and unique, definitely has character and personality. A beautiful backyard. Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay there, we all slept comfortably, because of the amount of bedrooms and double beds they have. We would stay there again. You definitely need to have a car to get there.

Very comfortable and cozy place. Quiet neighborhood about 15-20 walk to the city center. First time in Dublin. I probably would have chosen a different neighborhood if a friend that lives there did not suggest this area. Very safe. Definitely recommend

Aidan and his family were brilliant hosts. We enjoyed our stay very much, and we’ll definitely come back. They have done a brilliant job restoring a beautiful historic property. Aidan had some great recommendations for places nearby, and we were delighted to find a quiet and convenient dog friendly place to stay. We also enjoyed meeting their neighbor’s lovely horses! A beautiful spot, and very close to Wexford. Definitely worth a stay!

Very clean and tidy accommodation, in a very quiet area and easy to reach. Recommended!

Thanks for having us we really enjoyed the time on the boat. The kids loved the experience and we enjoyed the relaxing journey down the canal. Would definitely recommend.
