Okay, I read the reviews. Yes it is a old house with small rooms that might need some modernization and a little costly for what it offered. But is was adequate and I am not hanging around the B&B all day when I stay. It was the only place available for the weekend we stayed because of a concert in... More

Booked for us through a tour company. Rooms were pretty dumpy and old looking. It needs a serious face lift. Too many beds in one room, its not a dormitory, or a hostel, its supposed to be a bed and breakfast. Towels were dirty looking and had holes in them. Breakfast was o.k. I would not recommend this b&b.

Do not stay in this B & B. Myself and a friend booked one night in this place as we were meeting friends for a night out. On arrival - the parking was all gone. There were no tea & coffee making facilities in the room. The room was dark, old-fashioned and not what I would call clean. No shampoo... More

Adequate accommodations; avoid a front room as the traffic is noisy and continuous all night long.

We stayed for a weekend,and although clean enough, this B&B's decor was a little stuffy and overbearing. The breakfast left a little to be desired, considering most B&B's offer a proper breakfast and not one sausage and an egg. That wasnt a problem until the last day when we didnt rise on time for the breakfast following a late night,... More

Knockavon House is conveniently located (particularly for guests without their own transport), and is very close to the train/bus station and an brief walk to the city centre. Our room was small but adequate, and contained a double bed, TV, and ensuite. A shared tea and coffee facility was provided in a small kitchen. The owner was very friendly throughout... More

Heard some good reviews of this place but I was very upset and dissapointed by the service at knockavon and decided to change accommodation before our visit was over. The owner was extremely rude to me and my family. The place was clean enough but the personal touch was sorely missing. Love Kilkenny though !
