Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

The hotel has private parking, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and check in was very smooth. We had three in our room; parents and one teenager. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served at your table by very professional staff. The room was amazing with a spectacular view of the perfectly groomed garden and Kilkenny Castle. The location made it easy to see all of the main sites within the townsite and is close to many great pubs and restaurants. A river walk is minutes away and there are plenty of quality shops. Highly recommend fish and chips at Matt the Millar's, just down the hill.

    The breakfast was a buffet style and the staff were very welcoming at the reception and during breakfast. The room was spacious but it was chilly. There's nowhere to control the temperature of the room so if it was dead middle of the winter, I can't imagine how cold the room would have been. The location was across Kilkenny castle, lovely view from the breakfast room. Walkable distance to the village centre. Lovely staff and were very accommodating.

She was great at helping me get some last-minute travel-changes sorted out; had excellent advice on what to see and do in the village with limited time: and her food was delicious! Thank you Eaimer!

    Check in was easy and Mags was very helpful. The fact that a good Guinness was on tap in minutes after getting settled in didn’t hurt. The pub atmosphere was typical small village with several locals. We got to chatting with one of them, he was quite friendly and helpful. The owner, Jim Burke, was helpful in recommending dinner locations for both nights. If you love Portuguese food he can tell you where to get a great meal!

Very clean self catering unit with lots of little extra touches to ensure a successful stay. Many food items in stock to assist in cooking. Lovely terrace for outside dining and relaxation. Would have no hesitation in returning to stay here again. Was very sorry to leave after 2 night stay.
