    Had pod 5+6 booked for a wedding, 200€ each for 1 night. While it was a cute idea to have pods for…read morethe wedding, they weren't worth 200€ a night. The metal beds squeaked at the slightest movement, and pods were so close together that we could head people from other pods just talking. The trip switch in pod 5 tripped when anything other than the 2 small heaters were pluged in. The kitchen toilets and shower areas were fine for what they were, clean and tidy with microwave and dishwashe, nothing to write home about. Some great views of the land around Ballybeg house, it would be lovely to sit on the porch of the pod with a tea/coffee in the morning, but the views are blocked with the trees. The dinner for the wedding was fantastic, the flavours and portion sizes were amazing. The staff were excellent, light-hearted, and friendly and always someone nearby if you needed anything throughout the day. The grounds are so picturesque that you'd never be short of a good location to snap a picture. I'd probably give a higher star rating if we'd have stayed in a different accommodation option or if the pods were priced better for what they are.

    I attended a wedding at Ballybeg last weekend and was blown away by the beautiful scenic location,…read morefacilities available, appearance of the grounds and the second to none service that we received. A three day event from rehersal dinner served from the houses main kitchen where guests dined in the conservatory. To the wedding day itself... Little chapel on the grounds, main house for drinks and nibbles while the bridal party photos where being taken to then to be led to a breathtaking, enchanting marquee with full bar, kitchen, dancefloor and bathroom facilities. Extremely clever set up. Food, service and attention to detail could not me faulted. On the third day...as u do. We were invited back to celebrate with the happy newlyweds in the shebeen. The chapel had been transformed into an amazing table set up with stage for a band and dance floor...with another fully serviced bar and bathroom facility! Loved this place so much. I only wish it was closer to county down ;)

    Excellent location. Beautiful gem in the countryside. This is the type of place you want to be on a…read morerainy day. It's cozy and inviting and there's a romantic feel about it. Something tells me that Wordsworth would have loved it... The restaurant also offers an excellent buffet from starters to tea and it's only 35 per person. Decorated in old world style, the country house ambiance is rich yet relaxing. Gorgeous convenient destination for a weekend getaway for all you Dubliners. Makes you feel like you're far away from the City when it's only about an hour or so away from all the hustle and bustle.

    Rathsallagh is an unbelievable venue. Very special and unique, the grounds are absolutely gorgeous…read more- it really is a hidden gem. From the run up to the day until we left the wedding coordinators & staff couldn't have done enough for us. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating and made our lives extremely easy. We really didn't have to ask for much as they are ultimate professionals at what they do and had everything in hand unless we needed something personal. The food and service was absolutely amazing, you will not find nicer food than this venue and the amount of food and wine provided was incredible. Every single guest at our wedding could only say the most wonderful things about the staff, the food, the wine and how absolutely stunning the venue is. The only downside to Rathsallagh is you don't want to leave! We will be forever grateful to everyone at Rathsallagh for making our day as magical as possible. I only wish we could do it all again. We literally cannot thank you enough.

    Great location, good breakfast, with a very accommodating hostess, Bridge View B&B should be at the…read moretop of your list for accommodations in Kilkenny. I have to admit that a little bit of the five stars I'm going to give Bridge View B&B is because I was somewhat of a rude guest, in that I arrived over an hour late after getting side tracked driving across Ireland then having my rental car locked in the parking deck across from Smithwick's Brewery (that one closes at 6PM - the 11PM one is up the street). Despite all of this, our hostess Eimear accommodated our tardiness and was very pleasant throughout the whole experience. That's reason enough to book this homey B&B, with the comfortable rooms and ideal location (along with metered parking nearby). The B&B sits right on the River Nore minutes away from a very convenient pedestrian bridge to downtown Kilkenny. The rooms are modest, with comfortable double beds and private bathrooms. The breakfast is delicious and made to order from the menu at the tables. Very much a mom and pop vibe, as Eimear made our breakfast (her husband is a musician we heard play at the Kyteler's Inn the night before - a small world indeed). The place is cash only, so be sure to have enough for your stay - if not, there are ATMs across the aforementioned pedestrian bridge. Overall, when I come back to Kilkenny I'm coming back to Bridge View B&B, and I promise this time not to be so late.

    Nice B&B with reasonable rates. Rooms were comfortable. Location was awesome, right by the river…read moreand off the main street from where the pubs are.
