When travelling with a young child, you hope that it will be quiet enough for them to sleep during the day and at night. There was peace... More

We stayed at Longbowe for a week Nov 2012, my husband, mother, boys 8 & 13 and myself, all the way from Australia. We could hardly believe Longbowe when we first arrived. The house is enormous! There was plenty of room for all of us and then some! The bedrooms were huge with the most comfortable beds and pillows we... More

Very sleek, modern design, huge amounts of room. Kitchen is stocked for home cooking and the rest of the house is very well appointed. This is a great property for a big family or a... More

We had a girls weekend down in Kilkenny last weekend, and after doing a bit of research, we had decided on Longbowe, based a bit on the price and proximity to the town. We had no idea what to expect, but had there been expectations, they were well exceeded! We opened the door to find an amazing, modern house. Reviews... More

Longbowe is a unique and special place. Located within walking distance of Kilkenny city, yet you feel as if you're in the heart of the country. Nestled between a stone wall on one side and oak trees on the other, this really is an idyllic place. The accomodation is bright, airy and spacious, thanks to the walls of windows and... More
