As we arrives by car, we could park in a private parking lot. They offered coffee and tea in the room. It was very convenient to have dinner, one or two Guinness at the pub and breakfast the next day. A great stay.

The hosts were super friendly and very helpful. Told us where to visit and eat around the area. The bedroom was so clean and fresh, and the bed was super comfortable, as were the pillows. The room is very big and spacious.The tv in the bedroom had firestick, which meant we had every channel you could think off which was great for relaxing on the comfy recliner sofa in the room. Big bathroom with bath loads of hot water and washing products supplied there also. The view were stunning, and their little dog dingo was just super cute. Very fast and speedy Internet. To our suprise the communal kitchen had everything you needed, and they had left out items such as crossiants and cereal bars to have with you coffee in the morning, which was complimentary. Can't wait to return to the stables.

    Glendine Inn felt like a real authentic Kilkenny stay. From the locals in the pub, to the Hurling championship memorabilia, to the staff and service - everything was excellent! Public transport is available however I chose to walk everywhere as it’s a small city with plenty of beauty to see. Highly recommend this accomodation and Kilkenny!
