This was the 4th time we've stayed in Margaret and Tony's beautiful home. It's always spotlessly clean with fantastic breakfasts. Their garden is also spectacular. They are lovely hosts that can't do enough for you. We can't wait to go back!

Warm, friendly and helpful proprietor who gave very helpful guidance about local attractions and onward travel plans. Comfortable bed and a superb breakfast. The porridge with Irish Mist is truly the food of the gods.

The pictures posted don't do this place justice, it's so beautiful! You pull in to the driveway and you see this beautiful house covered in ivy and then you park around back and you see this backyard with flowers and a greenhouse and a cute little table to sit at. It's just wonderful! The breakfast had so many options, I... More

Margaret and Tony made us feel very welcome in their home. The breakfast was well prepared and presented. The choices on offer for the breakfast were incredibly good. The room was spotless. The location was a picture with parking facilities and a beautiful garden. Excellent value.

The Hillgrove B&B was our first stop in our trip thru Ireland and we couldn't start any better. We had a little trouble finding it but it was probably our mistake as its on the main road, not walking distance to Kilkenny but very easy to reach from town. The house is spectacular from the outside, with a beautiful garden,... More

We passed here one night. The house is a little gem, really nice and welcoming. The owner, Mrs. Margaret, is so kind and helpful but not inappropriate...a lovely person who suggested us a pub where we passed a funny evening and we had a good Irish dinner. Ah....the gardens of the house are really nice....

This beautiful home is tucked away off a main road in Kilkenny. It is easy to find and our room was perfect for our needs. We stayed three nights and had an amazing breakfast each and every morning. Margaret, our host, baked fresh brown bread and banana bread for us and they were simply delicious! It is not walking distance... More

The home is very clean and the grounds were expertly maintained. The setting was perfect, just outside the town of Kilkenny, so very quiet. A... More

We stayed here for 3 days, and had a wonderful stay. The house itself is beautiful & the room was very clean & pretty, overlooking the tidy nice garden and matresses were comfortable. The shower pressure was fine & the instant water heater worked great. Breakfast menu was vast: smoked salmon & scrambled eggs & smoked kipper (herring) with grilled... More
