Chris says: "Absoultely superb! This is a huge house that has been completely refurbished to a very high standard. The house has in the region of 20 immaculately clean rooms including 5 large bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is vast with all the necessary appliances etc. The garden is large with a good-sized private courtyard and a river! The description and photos are 100% accurate - if anything, the owers have understated the very high standard of the accommodation provided. The location of the house is good. It is about 20 minutes or so away from Kilkenny. It is also about 30 minutes away from the newly opened section of the Dublin to Cork motorway (Cashel to Mitchelstown). Once the full motorway is finished (2010) it really will be in a prime location. The very quiet and pleasant local village has a good shop, three pubs and a small hurling stadium. We thoroughly recommend this house and would certainly stay again - if it is not now fully booked! "
