Comfortable stay in a peaceful place
We enjoyed our time at Bolams a lot. The house is fully equipped which made our stay very comfortable. The location is perfect, just a few minutes away from Thomastown. Our only regret is not having stayed for more days, we will be back! There was nothing that we missed during our stay.

A lovely home with everything in it, my only niggle was there was no where to sit and do your hair and makeup, a dressing table and mirror would of been nice.

Lovely!
Our stay in Ireland wouldn't have been so wonderful if we hadn't stayed in such a lovely and comfortable home. The hosts were the kindest and ready to answer any question or request we made. The house is spotless, and there is everything you might need during your holiday and even more. Plus we found all the necessary to make an Irish breakfast and that was really lovely. The position is perfect to get to Kilkenny in no time and all of that is surrounded by greenery and wonderful view. Nothing. Everything is absolutely perfect.

Highly recommend this accommodation.
We were welcomed at the accommodation at the time agreed- John was very friendly and gave us a run down of the house and the local area- showing us around and answering all our questions. The house was clean and everything we needed was available. The high chair and travel cot were clean and there were plenty of beddding for it. The location worked for easy access to Kilkenny and there was plenty of space for two families. Nice touch of having all the bits to keep you going milk bread tea coffee etc. there for you when you arrived there was even a bottle of wine. If we are back in Kilkenny in the future we would not hesitate staying here again and would highly recommend it. Thanks a million. The shower temperature was difficult to regulate and there didn't seem to be any hot water in the kitchen (we just boiled the kettle to wash some bottles.) It wasn't a deal breaker.

Toller Ort mit virlen schönen Erlebnissen in der Nähe
Wir haben einen tollen Urlaub in Thomastown verbracht. Am Tag der Anreise hatten wir Glück und konnten schon früher in das Haus. John war sehr nett. Es gibt viele tolle Ziele in der Nähe Jerpoint Abbey, Kilfane Wasserfall, Kells Priory, Kilkenny Castle und vieles mehr.

A country Gem
From the moment of booking our experience was top notch. Arraignments we're made to meet the key holder and he was there waiting for us upon our arrival The home was clean and absolutely lovely! Waking up to the view was an absolute treat. Nice snacks left for us to enjoy which were highly appreciated! This was much better than staying in a hotel! My elderly father and I were visiting the area as we were searching for his ancestors. It was centrally located to all the towns we were wanting to visit. We even had time to do some exploring also as we went to visit Hook Lighthouse and the Famine Ship Dunbrody. When we return to that area of Ireland, I know that we will want to again stay at the Bolams Holiday Home as it was perfect in all ways! There is nothing that I can think to improve. Truly, it's a nice little house!
