This is a good B&B with reasonable rooms and good service. However, our stay (Friday and Saturday nights) was spoiled by terrible sleep caused by other guests. On the Friday night, someone tried to open our room door at 4.30am. When they found their own room, they talked loudly, keeping us awake for some time. On Saturday at 3.30am a... More

I had stayed here about 10 years ago and had reason to be in the area on business. I was amazed that Pat remembered me. The location is excellent with plenty of parking and the city centre is 5 minutes walk away. The house has a lovely view of the castle. I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the... More

This was the first place we stayed after Dublin, and it suited us perfectly. It is easy to find, with plenty of easy parking (important for left-driving novices!) and we appreciated being able to leave our car their the whole next day while we explored Kilkenny. Our room was spacious and clean, with great water pressure. Our host was very... More

Staying at Fanad house is a pleasure that reminds us why the personal experience of a family run hotel wins out over the generic hotel. Run by its owner Pat, has the feeling of a B&B, but the comfort of hotel. Pat's welcome to Kilkenny is generous, with a dose of dry humour. He makes great effort to greet and... More

We booked Fanad House to stay in during the Cat Laughs festival and were not disappointed. It is 5 minutes from the town centre and on the outskirts of the castle's estate. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was bright, spacious and, most importantly, very clean. There was also ample car parking available right outside. Breakfast is... More

Stayed here for the June bank holiday weekend during the Cat Laughs Festival. The city was a bit crazy with queues for all the best night spots and loud music coming from the pubs, so being only ten minutes walk away, Fanad House was a haven for a good nights sleep when my stamina quit before the noise did.
