Hotels on the River in County Kilkenny

"Room was really spacious, the beds were extremely comfortable and breakfast was perfect for the price we paid! "

"We had a lovely stay at Lyrath Estate from the 1st to the 4th of January. The hotel was still decorated for Christmas, which added to the festive feel. The staff were a standout. There were plenty of staff on hand, and everyone we encountered was friendly, courteous and helpful. It was like they embodied the character of the hotel, which was so refreshing and welcoming. The hotel itself is a gem, beautifully merging the old house with the new facilities. The room was spacious, well-appointed, comfortable, warm and quiet. The estate grounds are lovely - we walked the different trails each day. The food was amazing. We ate in the bar & grill, breakfast each day, plus we used the coffee dock. There are food options for all occasions, which added to the enjoyment of our stay. We look forward to staying at Lyrath again."

"Mount Juliet is the type of place you can leave your brain in the car. They take care of everything and are extremely pleasant, helpful and are willing to do anything you ask to make your stay more enjoyable. Amazing."

"The charm and warm feel of this hotel is unbeatable. The staff here treats you like family. The breakfast and bar is phenomenal! Will definitely stay here again next trip to Kilkenny "

"Nice rooms, and leisure centre was clean and child friendly "

"Smashing hotel. Staff are lovely. Room spotless. Grub 10 out of 10. "

"Staff was great, parking was easy. We stayed on a Saturday night and the bars didn’t close until 2a, so it was loud in our room until then, but next time we know to just stay up instead. 😉"

"Really beautifully decorated for Christmas "

"This place was an absolutely wonderful find! Its location right off the motorway is incredibly convenient, and it’s a quick drive to Waterford. We were a family of four (with an infant) and were delighted to be allowed to check-in early as our room was ready. The room itself far exceeded my expectations; it was cleaner and newer than many dedicated hotels I’ve stayed in. The bathroom was spotless and modern, with excellent hot water and strong water pressure. Despite the presence of a bar downstairs, the soundproofing was superb—we couldn't hear any noise from the pub at all, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The staff were welcoming, and the food was very satisfying. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our stay and would happily choose to book this lodge again in the future!"
