Clean room, good for a quick stopover on the way back to Dublin. Nice little bar attached and convenient car park across the road. Host was friendly and check2d in with us twice during the stay to ensure we had what we needed. A nice touch of a free pint coupon was a welcome treat!

This place is fun. Right next to the pub where we met the host and enjoyed a pint or two. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice and clean. We even had a piano on our patio! Good place to rest for an evening.

We had a wonderful stay at Matty’s Apartment. It was cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for our family. We liked having the kitchen space. Matty met us at check in to show us around and gave us lots of tips about the area and great sites to visit. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a wonderful property and the host was fantastic! Not only did the host provide additional information about the area, but they were also willing to chat for a bit about other general topics. This property was extremely welcoming and all around a great find. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend it to those travelling through and/or wanting to stay just a short drive from Kilkenny.

Extremely friendly hosts! We were greeting on the sidewalk by our hosts and shown to our room. We had access to a hot tub, which we didn't even realize. The bathroom was gorgeous, with a huge shower and Irish rock wall. The beds were comfy and it was great to have access to a full kitchen. The pub is also great to visit, with friendly locals and great prices. I would go again!

Quirky from the outside but nice inside. Comfortable and clean. We were in a room next to the pub so we didn’t have any noise except from guests using the hot tub and they quieted about 930. Only issue we had was it was warm so we wanted the windows open but the staff used the space by our window as a smoking area. We were able to open after they left for the night. Small nice kitchen with convenience store across the street that had basic groceries for all meals.
