Guest reviews for Kate's Rest
"Comfortable, spacious apartment. Appreciate the continental breakfast provided."
"Aucun."
"The location was pefect for our travels in to Kilkenny and the surrounding countryside. Oliver was most helpful in giving us directions and he was a great host. The breakfast was continental but substantial. Lovely breakfast room. Spacious room that had everything we needed. Peaceful and quiet location to rest after busy day travelling!"
"Aucun."
"Fantastic host and location! Central for Kilkenny, Cashel, Kildare, Glendalough if you have a car. Oliver was a great host! Interesting to talk to and he wanted to learn about us and was genuinely interested in our family and trip. My son had a birthday on St. Patrick’s Day and he gave him 5 Euros as a gift which made his day! The kitchen was great to be able to eat at the apartment, but we were also welcome to the continental breakfast. On two of our 4 mornings, Oliver made us eggs as well since Americans like eggs for breakfast. We liked having access to Kilkenny in 20 min but having a peaceful setting. The views from the kitchen were relaxing in the morning. (Last picture)"
"The Full Mattress was not comfortable. The description on Booking wasn’t exactly accurate. There’s one large bedroom with a Full and Twin bed and a curtained area in the same room with another twin bed. There is 1 toilet and 1 shower, but they are in separate rooms. Finally, the washer was not in the unit but shared for the property. However, we had no trouble using it and Oliver had a dryer as well which is uncommon. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again! It was also far less expensive than some of my other options for our family of 4."
"I needed a base for three nights that I could come and go and prepare my own food because it was a busy four day trip. The host was also interested in my stay and offered help to make the rushing about easier. I know from a guest that they have used the aparthotel as a base to relocate in Ireland."
"It was a bit large for me on my own but it had a double bed and two single beds in an adjoining space which is ideal for a young family"
"Plenty of parking, quiet, was comfortable, great base to spend a couple of days when we first landed!"

"Oliver is a lovely host, the house is really lovely, very quiet location and the bed is very comfortable, shower is great."
"location is a little far out from Kilkenny, probably 30 minutes as it is outside freshford village on the tipperary side but it is great value and Oliver is great."
"Comfy room, hot shower, cheerful and happy people. Very helpful and welcoming. 20 minutes from Kilkenny. Easy parking. All the guests seemed to be on road trips, up and away early."
"Nothing to dislike really, but set your satnav and look out for the sign, you might drive past it."
"The property was about 20 mins drive from Kilkenny but suited our stay perfect and was very easy to find -Oliver the owner was very welcoming and organised continental breakfast for us as we were leaving early in the morn ,even though this wasn’t included in our stay which was very appreciated."
"Nothing"
"Restful, remote, and quiet location, and the little kitchen space allowed us to make small meals in the room when we didn't feel like eating in another restaurant."
"Our room was in the upper floor with a low, sloped ceiling at the edges. It was difficult to use the kitchen or dresser without occasionally bumping our head, and the bathroom mirror was mounted so low that I literally had to kneel at the sink to shave. If we stay again I will be sure to avoid the upstairs rooms."
"Good location, not too far from Kilkenny city. Good continental breakfast. Helpful host."
"Aucun."

"Everything! The Nest is beautifully decorated, spotless and located in a quiet area. Loads of privacy. The host, Eleanor left a welcome basket of food for us which we really appreciated. There was also games for the children to play. Location is great, it was a 2/3 minute spin to the centre of everything. Bedding was so comfortable. The bath was an added luxury. Everything was perfect! Thank you Eleanor!"

William ocean view
"The cottage is so clean and beautiful. Bright and fresh and lots of light in the day and cosy and lovely at night. It is built on beautiful grounds, a stunning garden. The hosts are so kind and lovely and interesting. They gave loads of tips on what to do and where to go. Duncannon beach is a two minute drive away and you can drive right up onto the beach. Dollar Bay which is a 5 minute drive is stunning and a must see. You can get the ferry from Ballyhack to Waterford in about 5 minutes. I fell in love with Duncannon and all its surroundings. I was v sad to leave it all and would go back in a heart beat. Thanks so much to Robert and Mary for being such kind and special hosts."
Judith Seaside Cottage
"The house was spotless on arrival, very cosy and the fire was an added bonus. The house is very well equipped with lots of extra bonuses not found in other houses. The location was amazing watching the cruise ships going by from the window was an absolute favourite...walking distance to the beach...we enjoyed our time staying in Findale and will definitely be back..."
