The servers studiously avoid making eye contact to see if you want anything else. We were out all day except from about 2:30-4:30 and left the service sign on our room the whole time we were out -- it was never serviced. Ok but for this price you should demand better. This is essentially a three star hotel.

Exceeded our expectations across the board! This inn is so charming, and full of personality, and…read morethe grounds are truly spectacular. And, wow!... the breakfasts are outstanding, and so beautifully presented. But what made this place truly special are the kind and caring people who worked there. We really enjoyed getting to know them, and their stories. Our favorite places for dinner and within walking distance were: Rive Gauche, Rinoccini, Zuni, and Petronelli. Enjoyed a private walking tour by Pat Moylan, Kilkenny Walking Tour that the Butler house lined up for us. Pat is truly passionate about the history of Kilkenny, and we learned so much! And, Waterford was a quick day trip by train. Highly recommend the walking tour by Jack Burtchaell (meet at the Granville Hotel).

My family has two girls ages 12 & 10 yrs. old and this farm with the horses, pig, goats, chickens and beautiful lawn was a big highlight of the entire trip. The owners couldn't be nicer.

Thankyou Mark and Ann Marie for your warm hospitality and sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!

All very attractive, entertaining and welcoming. Feels like home, but with pleasant surprises.

It is an easy 15 minute walk downtown, and if you don't want to walk the city bus (with helpful bus drivers) stops right outside. Katherine is as nice and helpful as can be; our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. The breakfast room overlooks her lovely garden. I needed help calling the Garda office in Cahir to obtain a copy of a report we'd made about a stolen license plate, and she kindly called them for me. If I am lucky enough to return to Kilkenny I would certainly stay there again.

When we arrived on our first day the front desk staff were able to check us in early and even upgraded our room to a castle view which was an exciting surprise! Our room was comfortable although one thing to keep in mind is that the hotel does not have air conditioning in the hallways and rooms, although it was cool enough at night to keep our windows open and the rooms do come with a small fan. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was very nice and the pastries (especially the chocolate croissants!) were delicious and a wonderful way to start our days before exploring Kilkenny. The hotel does have complimentary parking, which was extremely useful. We parked our car at the hotel when we first arrived and didn't end up moving it until checking out two days later since everything was so walkable in the city. I would highly recommend staying at the River Court Hotel!

The owner has published several books which you can buy at the B&B. We got a full Irish breakfast which was excellent.

I got no email conformation so I called on the Thursday before we were due to arrive and was told all was ok with the rooms we booked. When we arrived to check in we were told that our credit card failed on the Friday (day before) and they gave our rooms to someone else, NOT sure why they wouldnt have checked this when we booked?. So we had traveled all the way to Kilkenny with my mother in law and had no where to stay... as it was the weekend of the All Ireland final all accommodation close to the City was booked. I suspect they got an offer of letting out the rooms for a longer period and decided it was worth bumping our one nights accommodation so they could make more money. Hope people find somewhere else to stay that has more ethical practices, so maybe they will also arrive to no room :(

The inn is fairly new and is decorated warmly & tastefully, making it very inviting to weary guests. Ample parking which is rare at most places in Ireland. The rooms are a very nice size as well as the bathrooms giving you plenty of room to move about. The best part? The BREAKFAST!! This is one place to definitely set your alarm clock not to miss! Wow! Elegant setting with an exceptional variety to choose from along side the mandatory Irish breakfast! And the owner is delighted to regale you with lively conversation and stories as you dine. A fair walking distance to the main drag in town where there is a great selection of nightlife if you enjoy walking or do not want to drive after sampling the local pubs. I really loved the town of Kilkenny and the culture it offers. When I come back someday, I will stay here.
