Independent hotels in Ballinakill, County Laois

"Lovely host and great breakfast. Loud people below us watching TV late and slamming doors made it hard to sleep. "

"Very old but interesting hotel with long winding hallways that added to the quirkiness of the hotel. We had a renovated room that was very nice. W"

"Very relaxing and the service was amazing "

"We stayed here for a long weekend while attending a confirmation. A lot of places around Kildare/Newbridge/Nass were booked so we booked here. It was a really nice hotel, tasteful decor throughout, nice bar restaurant at reception, linked to Kellys which we had a great dinner in, breakfast was really good quality and selection (their fruit was fresh!), comfortable beds, big rooms, great pool/spa facility with steam, sauna, plunge pool, hot tub, exp showers (tastefully done, no public swimming pool feel). Few points to note, no hair conditioner in rooms, swimming pool closed at 6.30pm on the Saturday which is very early in my book. We were looking forward to using it before dinner which we couldn't do so beware. No dressing gowns in rooms. Hotel was hot at night but you can turn the rads off and the windows open."

"Just a great place to stay "

"This is a very nice hotel in the heart of Kilkenny - easy walking to attractions, shopping and dining. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Easy parking across the street. Good breakfast buffet."

"Bar quite noisy! Location great! Ask for a room away from the elevator unless you yourself are going to be in the bar until the wee hours"

"Loved how they married the old estate house with the new hotel. The food was fabulous. We took a great walk. The help was amazing "

"The rooms and hotel in general were up to date and comfortable. The showers were very nice and the coffee bar in the lobby was very convenient."
