Longbowe is a unique and special place. Located within walking distance of Kilkenny city, yet you feel as if you're in the heart of the country. Nestled between a stone wall on one side and oak trees on the other, this really is an idyllic place. The accomodation is bright, airy and spacious, thanks to the walls of windows and... More

Thanks to hosts Kevin and Joan for looking after us so well - the house is so roomy; modern and with everything you could ever need. Great destination for families; couples and groups. Had the feel of the countryside and the convenience of the town. Would highly recommend it.

They delivered fresh eggs from their free range chickens, a wonderful home baked apple cake and a bottle of wine during our stay. Longbowe is a fantastic home in a great location. The views are spectacular and... More

Driving down the farm track past fields of horses and deer you arrive at Longbowe, an almost futuristic looking bungalow with glass pods. The bungalow is an eco friendly bungalow so kind on the beautiful environment it is... More

We stayed at the Gables for 6 days in March of 2010 while in the Kilkenny, Ireland area. We loved the cottage and the owners Joan and Kevin were amazing with their Irish hospitality. It is very centerally located and were able to do day trips to Waterford, Cashel, Dublin, and several other southern Ireland cities. Very quick and easy... More
