We were visiting Kilkenny and chose Kate’s Rest to stay at. The owner was so kind and took the time to chat and help us with anything we needed, it was a very personable experience. We stayed in a beautiful apartment (we had one double and two twin beds) what came with a kitchen and lovely open shower. The views are unbelievable and it was a great location. We would highly recommend a stay at Kate’s Rest.

À refaire

Un lieu très reposant et dépaysant loin de l'effervescence. Accueil chaleureux, hôte disponible et de bon conseil pour les visites. Établissement propre, serviettes à disposition
