Butler Court was definitely one of the highlights of our trip in Ireland. The room was nice and clean with my favorite shower. Bob the dog was super sweet and the location is perfect to see and do what you need to in Kilkenny. They also provided excellent advice on what to do for the evening.

Yvonne met us on our arrival and it seemed that we had been lifelong friends. She and her husband John simply made us feel right at home with their charm and warmth and helpful suggestions. Throughout our 3 weeks in Ireland we met many, many genuinely nice people but Yvonne and John were exceptional. The rooms are similar to a... More

Comfortable, clean, modern room with enough space for 2 adults and one teenage son. Continental breakfast in the room was all we needed. Located within easy walking distance of all we wanted to do. Top 2 of 5 B&Bs we visited during our trip.

Ok, so we read all the reviews, searched for this little place, and it lived up to every great review. John greeted us, it was just like meeting a good friend, maybe nicer! Lined us out with rooms we needed, extra towels? Blankets? Extra fruit? Snacks? Yes, yes, yes. You need anything else? He was just so accommodating. Rooms were... More

The location is perfect and the courtyard style b&b is charming. The room descriptions on trip advisor are very accurate. The BEST thing about this place is Yvonne. She is so kind and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to go back!

After a long day of traveling, my fiance and I finally reached Kilkenny. We arrived early to Butler Court around 10 am and were greeted by warm smiles from Yvonne and the cute pup Bob. It was so nice to be greeted with such warmth after spending 14 hours in an airplane and bus. Yvonne quickly helped us get set... More

On our annual sojourn to Kilkenny, we stayed as normal in Butler Court. A home from home if ever there was one, the accommodation is always excellent but it is the kindness, generosity and friendship of Yvonne, the owner, that elevates Butler Court above any other place I have stayed in. Truly wonderful.

Butler Court was recommended to me by a colleague and she was right on. This small hotel / B&B has all the standard amenities for a short stay in Kilkenny. Our room, #10, was nice, adequate size but small bathroom. The room and bath were spotless. Furnishings are minimal but comfortable. One thing to note is that the continental breakfast... More

We have stayed in Butler Court 3 times and have never been disappointed. Yvonne and John run the place extremely well and have terrific staff. The room we have stayed in has always been clean, quiet and comfortable and is well stocked each day with a nice variety of breakfast food. The proximity to everything in the heart of Kilkenny...
