A wonderful manor house B&B. Excellent location for exploring Kilkenny, Cashel, Cahir and other villages throughout the region. Bountiful breakfasts, beautifully furnished rooms and a stunning property for walks and exploring. Catherine makes you feel at home once you walk through her door. A wonderful find! more

Just back from a wonderful stay in the gorgeous Ballghtobin house. Set in beautiful parkland, the house is stunning, with huge bedrooms furnished to an extremely high standard. The attention to detail was simply amazing-- each room (Barracks and the Nursery room) had everything to make the stay perfect. Breakfast in the morning was great- a large selection of fruit,... more

Unfortunately we only had time to stay at Ballaghtobin for one night but it was a delight and very special. The house is full of Irish charm and history and our room very romantic. Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Ireland. It is centrally located if you plan on staying a few days and roaming the... more

We were nearing the end of a three week holiday when we arrived at Ballaghtobin. It was wonderful. The history of the house, the grounds, and the a perfectly appointed guestroom and bath made it a destination all its own. The convenient, central location provided access Waterford, Cashel, and Kilkenny. Although a little off the beaten track, it is worth... more

Three of us (1 double, 1 single) spent 3 wonderful nights at Ballaghtobin. Impeccable surroundings, spacious suites (bedroom, bathroom & sitting room), and totally quiet surroundings on acres of its own grounds, Ballaghtobin was a most delightful experience. Did I mention our gracious hostess, Catherine? Or the excellent breakfasts? Or the honour bar in the guests' lounge? Highly recommended. more

Charming home and grounds, but off the beaten path. It is a large manor house that has been in the family for 350 years. We did not spend a great deal of time at the property, but the hostess was accomodating and pleasant. Excellent big Irish breakfast made to order with a large selection of fruit. The rooms are decorated... more

We stayed here for five wonderful nights. I can't say enough about how wonderful our hostess Catherine Gabbett was. She truly made us feel welcome. We had a twin bedded room. It was spacious and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The attached bathroom was also big and had a heated towel rake. There was plenty of hot water and she... more

My wife and I stayed for one night only - alas - and were bowled over by Ballaghtobin and the generous owner, Catherine Gabbett. The house is beautiful inside and out, and the fittings would grace many a five-star hotel. Very highly recommended. more

My husband and I stayed at the Ballaghtobin on March 25th - the first night of our 10-day stay in Ireland. having never been to Ireland before, we wanted to get the real and authentic feel of rustic Irlend, so we drove right out of Dublin to Ballaghtobin the day we arrived. From the start, Catherine was helpful in answering... more
