We were so fortunate to have happened upon Hillgrove which is just outside of Kilkenny. The hosts Margaret and Tony are very charming and made us feel right at home. They had several suggestions for activities in the area and restuarants nearby. Kilkenny is a short drive away. The breakfast was delicious and the bed very comfortable. We would certainly... More

Hillgrove was a wonderful way to start our Ireland trip. I think the thing I like the best was that I felt that I was truly in a real Irish home. First, I read that there was no internet here in several reviews. However, we had internet access. There are instructions on how to connect in the room. Our laptop... More

We were here only one night, but very much enjoyed our time. We had our choice of rooms, and all were very clean and well kept. Mattresses are getting a bit soft and saggy. Excellent breakfasts!

We rented a car in Dublin and headed directly to this B&B. It was a great introduction to Ireland and a great place to adjust our timeclock. Margaret was great--very helpful and the breakfasts were super with many choices. It is located a bit outside the downdown in a quiet rural area. We would recommend this B&B to anyone staying...

A very nice B&B located just outside city centre in Kilkenny. Margaret and Tony are wonderful hosts, the rooms are very nice, and the price is right. You would be hard-pressed to find a better place in the area. We would gladly stay there again.

My crew and I spent only one day here due to the tight travel schedule we were on, but it's a place I'd like to go back to. Margaret and Tony are lovely people who know the meaning of hospitality - comfortable rooms, a hearty breakfast and a willingness to help us get where we needed to be next. The... More

Hillgrove is wonderful, with a charming hostess, Margaret. She made us feel like old friends. The house is beautiful, the setting is beautiful, the room was good size and comfortable. Margaret was very easy to deal with via email, and gave helpful information once we were there. When we checked out, we mentioned we wanted to see some pottery, and... More

My sister and I stayed here one night. Margaret was very helpful with showing us where to go, what to see, best place to park. B&B a bit away from town (not walking distance if you want to go out) but Kilkenny is a beautiful town. Really enjoyed our stay. Food was excellent. Room was comfortable. No internet access.

We two couples stayed with the Drennans on a weekend night in July and very much enjoyed our visit. They are gracious hosts, helpful and informative about suggestions for touring their intriguing city (castle and design center highly recommended). Our rooms were lovely, comfortable, and equipped with everything a traveler might need. Breakfast was delicious, with a choice of many... More
