I stayed several days at the wonderful Ballyogan House. Robert and Fran were perfect hosts who couldn't have been more accommodating. The grounds are amazing and the view breathtaking. The delightful bedroom was spacious, quiet and private and oh... those fabulous bed linens! A great nights sleep followed by delicious breakfasts. And I do mean delicious! Perfect coffee, fresh squeezed... more

I highly recommend the Ballyogan B&B. We stayed here for one lovely night in October. My Husband and I had driven from Dublin with his parents taking the long leisurely route arriving around 7 pm tired and hungry. Fran our hostess welcomed us warmly and after hearing we were only going to have shop bought sandwiches for dinner, offered us... more

This is a beautiful country home in lush Irish countryside, near the charming town of Graiguenamanagh which has a lovely walk along the river Barrow with lots of boats moored on the quay. We were welcomed with tea and homemade lemon cake in the conservatory, yummy! Our room, the Bluebell room was delightful with views over the garden, the ensuite... more

This is a wonderful peaceful country house bed and breakfast just minutes drive from Graiguenamanagh, a lovely town on the banks of the river Barrow just 10-15 miles outside Kilkenny. Fran and Robert are the owners who are extremely welcoming and hospitable. The Bluebell room that I stayed in has a wonderful view of the garden packed full of plants.... more

I have stayed at many B&Bs in Ireland, and Ballyogan is head and shoulders above the rest. You could not ask for a more peaceful, tranquil, beautiful setting nestled among the mountains along the banks of the Barrow river. We stayed in the Bluebell room which had lovely views of the garden and the most comfortable beds, as well as... more

We spent a marvellous couple of nights as guests at Ballyogan House (a beautiful spot on the river) at the end of this October, and we can honestly say that no accommodations were more comfortable nor welcome more gracious than that we received from the Duries. They are the owners of Ballyogan, and during our recent trip we spent time... more

We spent the most beautiful weekend in August at Ballyogan House, where we were treated and looked after so well by the lovely hosts, Fran and Robert, who were very welcoming. The pictureque view from every room in the house and the wonderful strolls around their land and down to the river was such a retreat. The breakfasts were the... more

Ballyogan House has all the ingredients to make it somewhere wonderful to stay in - alas the cool reception from the owner/hostess is very offputting. WE b arely felt welcomed there, the communal table for breakfast was unappealing, and before departure, on front of other guests, the owner held her hand out - and said "Your key and your money... more

Beutiful setting, opportunity to stroll, great town restaurant and great hosts. We can highly recommend this B&B for anyone staying in the Kilkenny area. more
