Again we gave this wonderful guest house another visit overlooking the Castle gardens! Not just for the brilliant central location but for the comfortable rooms and freshly cooked breakfasts. Before our cooked to order breakfast we had fruit, yogurt etc. No hotel does it as well. Pat was his usual self, helpful as ever. We would not stay anywhere else... More

This was a wonderful place to stay in Kilkenny. The location is very close to the castle, and the walk into town is short and lovely. Very accommodating-- my boyfriend and I were able to leave our bags there while we explored the town the day we were leaving.The family that runs this place, especially Patrick (the owner), is incredibly...

We found this by asking at the tourism office and Ruth was waiting for us when we arrived. Patrick, the owner, runs a marvelous place to stay. Our first night and one of our best in a 15 day stay. Pat's sense of humor will stick with us forever. We wished we could have stayed longer but we will be... More

I made a last minute reservation to stay on St Patrick's Day night and was not disappointed. The street closures for the parade and my sat-nav had me turned around, making it a little difficult to find, but the owner called several times to be sure I was finding my way there. The room was spotless and the bed very... More

Great place to stay the rooms are spacious spotlessly clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast and the owner is fantastic he really makes you welcome nothing is to much trouble. The location is about 10 minutes from the town centre and just across the road is the entrance to Kilkenny Castle grounds with lovely walks

A great place to stay when visiting Kilkenny - it's close enough to the city for walking, but is also quiet and has plenty of parking, and is easy to get to, only minutes off ring road. Great breakfast, and the owner is lovely.

Lovely clean and spacious rooms with good shower and tea making facilities. The Internet connection is fast, so perfect for work or streaming programmes. The breakfast is a proper Irish fry and the host is very accommodating. Top class B&B.

I've stayed in a lot of Bed and Breakfasts in Kilkenny as I travel a lot with work. Fanad House is a cut above the rest. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, excellent breakfast and a lovely host. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms and the most powerful showers I've ever come across! Also very close to Kilkenny Castle and town centre.... More

I was Tutoring for The Crafts Council of Ireland’s (CCoI) Jewellery and Goldsmithing Skills and Design Course, which was a very short walk to the Castle from Fanad House. I found Pat's hospitality very welcoming, the Irish breakfast I had every morning for a week , so that was very nice, lots more on offer for breakfast but you can't... More
