We (husband, his parents and daughter) just got back from our Ireland trip and we spent 1 night at Hillhouse (1 double and 1 triple). What a complete joy! The house is beautiful and beautifully maintained, the view spectacular (Rock of Cashel lit at night is clearly visable from the yard and most rooms), the rooms clean and comfortable and the breakfast wonderful (made to order). The bathrooms were modern and had great water pressure for a hot shower. You are away from any noise down the hill in town (2-3 block walk). You are within easy walking distance to restaurants and pubs. Carmel, the owner, was friendly and provided information on restaurants and their locations. I would gladly stay here again...hopefully a bit longer next time.

A real home from home. Very comfortable, convenient and welcoming house to stay in. I use this guesthouse for business when travelling between Dublin & Cork. A 5 minute stroll downhill into the town and spectacular views of the "Rock of Cashel" as well.

The house was beautifully decorated, including the room. The grounds were really lovely, the view unbeatable and the innkeeper very nice. It was a little hard to find as street signs are not very previlant in Ireland, but we found it! ;o)

The shower was the tiniest in all of Ireland, but understand that they did the best they could to convert an older home into a B&B with en suite amenities. My husband and I have a "when in Rome" travel attitude so little bothers us. We did however have a good laugh when the other was showering and would drop the shampoo bottle 3-4 times. But really, it was okay . . . did the trick and we ended up clean as a whistle . . . so what more can you ask for.

The breakfast was pretty good . . . it felt weird ordering our b-fast for the next day upon arrival, but it was nice when it was served.

Also, the Hill house must be named for it's location as it's on top of a hill. We didn't realize the walk back from the pub would be so long or steep. Not that we can't use the exercise, but it could be a concern for those travelers who truly do have trouble walking, etc.

All in all, it was a nice stay and we would consider staying here again if in the area.

Excellent Guesthouse in a beautiful location. My husband and I were on our first driving foray into Ireland and it was our first stop after 3 days in Dublin. The home was beautiful and spacious and from our room you could see the "rock". Our bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept great. The grounds are fantastic and well maintained. Would highly recomment here. The rock of cashel is an awe-inspiring site.
