Pee/poop stay
The hotel was and is not prepared for multiple groups or business customers.
The menu is basic and they cannot cope with multiple orders.
Quality is poor and not satisfactory
The price of the stay is extremely expensive comparing to other levels and the service you get
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone
We loved our stay at Kilkenny House Boutique Hotel. Room was a good size. Location was easy walking distance to town centre.

Breakfast not available until 8.30 at weekend, which seems inflexible. There were 5 people waiting when they opened the breakfast room.
