We arrived to the ivy covered B&B in the mid-afternoon and Margaret greeted us warmly and gave us a map of Kilkenny and advised us on where we should park so we could best see the town. She also gave us a breakfast menu to leave outside our door so she could prepare one of her award winning breakfasts for... more

It looks like a house from a fairytale from outside, we hade a good room on the ground floor. The breakfast was delicious and very rich, you can choose from a Menu the evening before. Thank you Margaret...you really deserved the Award you had! Location not in town, but easy access to the centre in few minutes. Greetings from Italy! more

This B&B was our very first, ever. Margaret and her husband made us feel very at home, and the look of excitement on her husbands face (sorry, I forget his name) when I ordered Irish Mist on my porridge was hilarious and seemed to really make his morning! The bedroom was very spacious and the en suite bathroom immaculate. The... more

My only regret was that we only stayed 1 night at this location. I chose this place after looking at a few others and I thought it'd be nice to stay in a manor instead of a b&b in the city center. The hostess, Margaret, was very helpful with different places to see and eat in Kilkenny. Home: -it's a... more

Stayed 2 nights at Hillgrove with Margaret and Tony. The place is conveniently located, just a short drive to the "heart" of Kilkenny. Our rooms were nice with enough room, light, and comfort. Would've liked a couple of more stations on the television, and there's no wi-fi. Nothing major to complain about outside of the TV and internet. more

The location is beautyful. The room are very clean, and the bed comfortible. The house itself is nicely decorated in old country house stile. Margaret was a fantastic hosts. The breafast was delicious. Even if it is located 2 km far to the town, I will definitely recommend going forward and hopefully revisit. more

A beautiful B&B surrounded by the stunning countryside. The host and hostess were very kind and welcoming and escepically helpful with giving directions on how to get to different attractions and sights. The breafast was delicious in a cozy, cutely decorated dinning room. It is an older home and the bathroom wasn't the nicest (older plumbing, etc.). However everything was... more
