Independent hotels in Aghaboe, County Laois

"Received a very warm welcome from Jade on reception. She is an absolute asset to your team. Bar was nice and sat outside in the courtyard for a very tasty steak sandwich. Parking on site is free and at the back of the hotel. Nice place to stay and would go back again."

"Went with husband for a concert. Lovely clean hotel will definitely be back with the kids "

"We were three older adults looking for a quiet place to stay while visiting the mid west. It is a very central location with connections to the motorway going both east and west. We felt welcomed, secure, and a quiet place to just relax in the evenings. The cottage has a lot of old age charm, artistic touches and a very warm welcome by our hostess. Very cllean, no mod cons, but who needs those? It’s a holiday venue for relaxation."

"Beautiful and charming hotel. Each room with a particular character. Amazing food and hospitality!!!"

"Lovely stay at a family run home. Clean comfortable and a beautiful breakfast. "

"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. "

"Lovely place"

"Convenient and clean with excellent breakfast "

"Our stay was an absolute dream! Lorna and Peter provided a one of a kind experience. Upon arrival we were giving a tour of the farm and grounds, then a walk through our cottage, which was clean, well maintained and full of activities. Lorna then invited us to check out the afternoon milking, then meet and PET the cows and then young calfs who were curious enough to walk over. Then we met the farm horse Drift, who couldn't have been friendlier. The two dogs are adorably cute and the chickens are always wandering about. The landscaping and attention to detail is so impressive. The garden is professional grade of course. We only wish we had stayed TWO NIGHTS instead of one. Don't make our mistake. The morning arrived with fresh scones, massive eggs from the hens, and cold milk from the cows. Just magical!!"
