This was our first overnight stop outside of Dublin on our 10-day trip around the countryside. Because it was so enjoyable, it set the standard for the other family-owned b &b's we encountered afterwards. Convenient location, within easy walking distance of Kilkenny Castle; well kept, bright and inviting; well furnished and comfortable rooms (ours was quite large) with a group... more

We had a great one night stay here in Kilkenny. Josephine and her husband were gracious hosts and the property was very clean and has a great location. Breakfast was terrific as well! more

We spent two nights in Kilkenny and stayed at the Carriglea. Both Josephine and her husband were superb hosts and we felt very welcome in their home. We had a large room which was very clean and quiet. This B&B is just across the street from the Kilkenny Castle and its spacious grounds. It is also just a ten minute... more

I took a leap of faith when I booked the Carriglea based on my emails with Josephine O'Reilly, proprietor. My first impression was reinforced as soon as she answered the door when we stopped to check in and drop off our bags. We were warmly greeted, shown our room, given a key and then her husband's umbrella because it had... more

I used TA to find this property and was delighted to find that Josephine had room for us on our first night in Ireland. After a very long night on the plane and a long day of Dublin and driving to Kilkenny, her gracious welcome was a wonderful experience. Our room was beautiful and spacious, and extremely comfortable. We had... more

We settled in to Carriglea after a couple of days in Dublin. Carriglea was the perfect spot to escape the busy city and unwind. The hosts are wonderful and got the fire going in the family room and joined us for a wonderful conversation. The room was very clean and comfortable. The B&B is just across the street from the... more

I cannot say enough about this B&B! My friend and I were allowed to check-in early and the owners offered to serve us breakfast a half hour before normal time as we needed to catch an early train. Their hospitality is indeed off the charts. The room was lovely and clean. Should I find myself in Kilkenny again there will... more

This is probably the nicest B and B in Ireland that I have had the pleasure to stay in (and I have stayed in a few). I had a huge en suite room, very nicely decorated. The room was very comfortable and clean. There was no noise or disturbance from other guests or the proprietors. It's a great location only... more
