Ollie could not do enough to make us feel welcome, the rooms were spotless and had everything you needed But really stood out was the fact our ferry was cancelled and had to book another night at last minute, he had no problem with doing this and when asked how much we owed him on check out he would accept any money, just said he was please could make our inconvenience a little better, this will now be our favourite accommodation when visiting family, amazing stay!

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.

Kate's Rest was clean and quiet. The accomadations were satisfactory. The breakfast was cold cereals, toast, yogurt, coffee and juice. We felt a bit confused and unsure when we arrived because there's not a receptionist area or how to find the host.

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
