Luxury Hotels in County Kilkenny

"Possibly one of the most stunning hotels we have stayed in. The Lyrath grounds are gorgeous and only surpassed by the stunning interior courtyard reception area that greets you when you first arrive. Everything from the multiple restaurants to the bar and lounge areas, this place just wraps you in comfort. Keeping with the decor of the lobby, our hotel room was more like a full suite with separate rooms for changing, bathing and sleeping. Heated bathroom floors, a 4 piece ensuite bathroom...

"Very well located in the heart of Kilkenny, the hotel is ideal. The only drawback is parking, but there is a car park close by for about €15 a day. Our room was large, airy, well furnished and generally felt pleasingly

. Breakfast was very good. All staff were very helpful and responsive to requests for additional items. Would definitely stay again."

"Fantastic experience from the moment we arrived. All the hotel staff were very professional and friendly especially Oscar at reception who assisted with our requests and made our stay the most memorable. The room was comfortabl, clean with nice BVLGARI products in our deluxe room with open doors onto the courtyard. The grounds are lovwly to walk around. My husband enjoyed playing on the well maintained 18 hole golf course. The pool and sauna area was

. Breakfast was really good woth...

"Had a fantastic night in this hotel. Lovely staff and very helpful. The staff upgraded my room to a deluxe as it was my birthday and I hadn't even known only for my girlfriend had asked to upgrade. When I needed a phone charger they were quick to assistance with a USB type extension lead so I went out to hit the town fresh and recharged. I would happily come back to this hotel and I am currently planning to. "

"Good location out of main city centre with free parking. Room modern with a leafy garden view. Bathroom new and bath tub excellent. Restaurant on site very good. Service fantastic. Biggest let down was a 7.30am breakfast, this is a bit late for business commuters. There was a large queue of tourists and business guests waiting to enter in the mornings "

"Superb location, spacious rooms and great swimming pool. Staff very friendly. Thoughtful and speedy service. "

"The room was nice. Comfortable bed. The location of this hotel is great. It’s a short walk to the castle and not too far to the church. There are restaurants and bars all around the area. But the room was quiet. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone."

"The room was small, clean, and comfortable; the bathroom clean (but not completely spotless--a little mold in the shower grout wasn't really concerning). The staff I interacted with (including the owner) were not just polite but personable. And the breakfast offering was well above average. The pizza I had in the hotel restaurant, however, was mediocre, but the bartender/waiter was terrific--a master at both crafts."
