Launard House

The room was very disappointing,it was very small and the bed had two end corners that was difficult not to knock yourself on.The room is very dated and the ensuite was dated.The shower had a grubby curtain on it.The breakfast was okay my husband had a fried breakfast,there were no cereals or muesli,just a toaster to help yourselves to toast,Coffee pot left in the dining area to help yourself and orange juice.The whole experience is way over priced for what is on offer I can honestly say I have never stayed in worse accommodation.I would not recommend.

I booked this for 4 nights, thinking I had stayed there before. I hadnt! The house was nice, the room clean, but hot. No ac, no fan. Asked if they had fans, was provided a tiny (2in diameter) usb fan. Seriously. Had to open window for air, very noisy road nearby plus guest seating area right outside window. Beds were old spring type. Wifi didnt work. Couldnt stay there. Host was very understanding even helped with alternatives and ensured we could cancel without any fee. If we had a room to the back, away from road, with window that could open for air and a standing fan, that would probably have done. Instead we booked into Rivercourt hotel opposite Kilkenny castle, into a much bigger room for same price. It was second floor, with windows that could open ie privacy and cooling and they had proper standing fans. Only NewPark Hotel has ac and only in a few rooms.

Stayed here over a weekend the host was a very professional and courteous gentleman. We stayed in a room at the top of house was very comfortable the only criticism was there was heavy rain we could hear it against the window. Also just note hot water for shower wasn't always warm. Breakfast was top class everything cooked fresh. Porridge and Poached Eggs were the best. Well done we will be back Thank You.

The host was friendly helpful and informative. The room clean and comfortable, although the bathroom was very small and was difficult to bend down to the cloakroom sized basin. There were no hooks or shelves in the bathroom. The decor was dated but the vintage look might have been deliberate! Had trouble with the electrics which was fixed fairly rapidly . Overall the property looked tired and could do with some TLC. The breakfasts offered were good. We left a bag behind and the host phoned to tell us, which was kind .Thank you

Having traveled to several countries in the past few weeks, we were delighted to discover this clean, quiet, quaint abode with a delightful host/owner. David provided us with lots of helpful information and good conversation in addition to a delectable made-to-order full Irish breakfast (plus many other options) each morning. It's a short, easily managed, safe walk to the heart of town and all the action, including the Medieval Mile. Without a doubt, we will stay here again upon our return to Kilkenny.

Clean quiet & comfortable B & B. Kilkenny is a beautiful town, & this locale is away from the hustle & bustle. Owner gave great recommendations for places to eat & drink downtown. Couldn't ask for more.

Nice small, B&B with free parking and breakfast. Breakfast is served as pree order service. Rooms basic but clean and more than you need for a one night stay. Owner will help you with additional information like restaurants, pubs, sightseeing, etc.
