I used Airbnb all across Ireland, and this place was my absolute favorite! Caroline had a gift basket waiting for me and even came over with some scones after I arrived. The apartment was spacious, clean, and private. If you could dream up the perfect place to stay for an entire summer in Ireland, this would probably be it. I would move to Ireland just to stay in that apartment, I loved it that much!! :)

We had 4 nights at this apartment. Firstly Caroline was a perfect host, providing a nice welcome pack and making us feel at home. The apartment was very clean, cozy and extremely well appointed. The huge TV had hundreds of channels to choose from. Great wifi. Comfortable bed and lounge. The location is perfect for exploring the midlands. Only an hour to the Wicklow Mountains, 45 min to Birr Castle and 15 min to the Bloom Sleeve. Being great value for money, I wouldn't hesitate Highly recommending this apartment. Thanks Caroline

Such lovely hosts. Excellent communication with everything from the start. Couldn't have asked for nicer hosts. :)

Terrific place, truly wonderful blend of helpful hosts and privacy. Cute interior and great accomodations. About a ten minute ride to town

Merveilleux appartement dans un endroit calme et tranquille. Laura nous a très bien accueilli et a été de très bons conseils. Très disponible pour la moindre information que se soit sur le site ou par téléphone. L'appartement est très bien décoré ( petite connotation française ) et on s'y sent très bien des les premières minutes. Nous y sommes restés qu'une seule nuit dans notre road trip en Irlande mais nous y serions bien restes une semaine entière. Il y a proximité des commerces dans la ville à 5-10 min en voiture. Je vous recommande chaudement l'appartement de Laura !

Caroline's apartment is located approx 2.5 km from the town of Mountmellick, which is approx 20 mins drive from Portlaoise. The area is nice and quiet, and is quite scenic. Caroline made me feel very welcome. The apartment itself was very comfortable, was well equipped, and was spotlessly clean. I really enjoyed my 1-night stay, and hope to be back again.

Simply perfect

We loved staying at Caroline&Laura place, especially because it is really kid frendly and Caroline took good care of out little one with a baby bed and chair. So we really recommend this place for a family with small kids. The place is well (central) located, with a nice garden and it has everything you need. The welcome package was a nice surprice. Caroline was there if we needed anything. Everything was perfect!

This place was one of our favorites!! Close to pubs (walking distance)

Great location and great value

Stunning apartment in the heart of Kilkenny..The beds were super comfy, everything was very clean and I loved the decor. Actually everything was perfect! Thank you for having us Catherine.

Very nice and comfortable apartment in the heart of Kilkenny. Communication was great! I recommend it!

Great apartment so close to the centre of the town!

Great location, right in the centre of Kilkenny. Within walking distance to shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and the castle! Lovely apartment, bright spacious and modern! Really recommend this for a weekend break away in Ireland since there is so much to see and do in the area, and if you have a car there is lots of on street parking outside. Thanks Catherine!!

Very convenient location to visit Kilkenny, very cosy appartment.

Great place to stay. Very Morden flat in a excellent location.

Lovely apartment in great location. Kate was very quick to reply to messages and made our stay very easy. Lovely fresh bread on arrival too. Would defiantly recommend

This was a fantastic spot. Location was wonderful and our hosts went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Great communication. Loved the layout and decor of their place. Great natural light and wonderful art. Can't recommend highly enough.

Great flat in a great location. Parking is only a few minutes walk away and town is on the doorstep. Helpful and friendly host.

We had a great time at Kate's place. Kate was waiting for us even though we arrived late. The apt is clean, well located, quiet and has everything you need! I hope to be back soon. Thanks Kate!

Great cozy place in a very central location in Kilkenny. It's literally steps from the bars/nightlife and shopping in downtown Kilkenny. I had to leave a day early due to last minute change in travel plans and Kate was quick to respond and very accommodating. Really enjoyed my stay!

Had a 10 day stay in Kate's absolutely perfect apartment. The ambience created by the accessories smartly placed throughout, created the perfect mood. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and made us feel right at home. Our little boy really enjoyed the toys. As for location, literally 30 seconds to the centre of Kilkenny. Boho Bliss by name and by definitely by experience.

Lovely, immaculate, light and airy townhouse. Wonderfully located for exploring Kilkenny and the surrounding area. Kate was very welcoming despite our delayed arrival....thoroughly recommended!

Loved the location of Boho Bliss. It was a charming, clean, multi-level flat. Everything we needed was available including some basic food items. We would definitely stay again.

***** FIVE STAR PLUS***** One of the best places you will ever stay,deluxe accommodation at an affordable price, where do I start to try and explain how wonderful this place is, for a start joan is a kind lady who will go the extra mile to make sure you have a nice stay including fresh home made scones every morning,the room is spotless and includes an en suite shower.kitchennete with microwave, kettle etc,it just feels like home and I can honestly say that no one could be disappointed, as someone else put it, JUST BOOK IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT,thanks again joan, I'll be back.

Joan is such a lovely host! I was here for 2 nights and felt immediately comfortable. She brought me homemade scones and also allowed me to check in very ahead of time, even on a holiday! Joan's place is very comfortable and quiet, yet it is about 8 minutes walk from the center of Kilkenny and about 5-7 from the bus stop. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a friendly environment and kind host!

Joan's suite is brand new which is a treat. Great to have a private space.

I really enjoyed my staying at Joan's place. The room has everything you need and it's exactly as described. It's in a quiet neighborhood but also really close to the centre of the city. Joan is very kind, she even made me handmade scones for breakfast! I had some problems with the wifi but Joan was very helpful and at the end everything went fine. I felt welcomed and Kilkenny is definitely a place to go!

We had a lovely stay at Joan's home in Kilkenny. It was within a nice walk of the centre, close to shops and many historical sites. Quiet sleeping and tasty morning scones. It was my first Air BnB stay ever, would definitely stay again if I return to the area. Very private, yet host readily available if needed.

We were visiting Kilkenny for the weekend and booked in with Joan.Photos dont do the justice it deserves, really lovely interior..comfy beds...great bathroom and yumm scones and hospitality!Would defiantly recommend ..walking distance from the city and just €6 in a taxi after dancing and scones left for us when we got back! :-) Thanks Joan. Will re visit

If I could give 10 stars I would've!! The place is more than perfect! Even before we even arrived I could've given Joan 5 stars as she really went out of her way to accommodate us!!! We even got muffins, nice bread with marmalade, etc AND freshly baked scones for the next morning!! I would plan a trip to Kilkenny just to visit Joan's wonderful home again!!!

What a tranquil little gem just a whisper away from busy town centre. The apartment has been recently refurbished to a very high standard, very pretty, bright, airy and as fresh as a daisy - as fresh as the scones/muffins left outside our door for brekkie each morning! Joan was the perfect hostess, even arranged for us to arrive earlier than originally anticipated. She thought of everything - bar the PJs and toothbrushes everything was laid on for us. We didn't even have to hop to the shop for milk as planned when we arrived. I'd love to keep it a secret but word will get out in any case. Thanks a mill Joan, as I said, we'll be back!

5 stars, diamonds etc...Ian and his whole staff are an amazing, attentive, and highly professional crew! Wish we had them here in Chicago!! We MOST definitely will be back at The Clubhouse!!

We really enjoyed our stay in Kilkenny.. It's central, spacious and has everything you need.. Been a part of a hotel you have access to a pub and also 24 hour reception if you need anything.. Ian and his staff are wonderful and very accommodating.. We'd diffently stay again..

Great location, basic apartment but noise was an issue

This is a great place to stay. If Ian was not around to assist with a query, the front desk reception was there to help. The experience was personal and I highly recommend this spacious suite as a good choice for anyones stay in Kilkenny. A good value for 4 people.

Ian was very responsive to our queries and throughout the booking process, and was on hand to greet us even though we arrived later than expected. Ian was wealth of knowledge about local attractions and eating/drinking venues. The apartment is functional and is in a great central location, just a 2 minute walk from Kilkenny Castle and adjacent to good bars and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay at Ian's place in Kilkenny.

Good location, too expensive

The unit was spacious and extremely well situated in the centre of town. Parking was very private and secure at the rear of the hotel. The unit was not luxury but a good 3-31/2 star by Australian standards. The bathroom setup was unusual as the occupants of second bedroom had to go via the main bedroom to the bathroom. This didn't detract from our stay and we would stay again. We only met Ian on departure and it was great to have a brief chat with someone who had a knowledge of our home area.

Excellent location and value for money.

I had a wonderful stay in Terence’s place. The apartment is nice and cosy, and it was a pleasure to go “back home” after a day spent visiting nearby interesting places. Terence and his family are great host, they are ready to help in every way and they always like to have a nice talk, suggesting beautiful places to go and see. Carlow is a beautiful city, and is also a very convenient base for visiting the whole south-east of Ireland. I hope I will have soon an occasion to come back and stay again in Terence’s apartment.

It was a brief trip as we were attending a wedding nearby just for the night but everything was perfect! Terry was exceptionally responsive, friendly and helpful and the apartment was clean, cosy and had an extremely comfortable bed.

Pleasant location, accommodating hosts :)

Great if you have a number of people with you that wish to stay as a number of apartments

Right away Terence and his wonderful family were accommodating, I got into carlow later than expected and he came to pick me up. what a lovely little apartment surrounded by cows and sheep grazing. the sun was always on the property and my apartment was quaint and cheery. Terence his lovely wife and daughter were lovely to chat with and when I had problems they quickly wanted to help to make things better. it was definately an oasis. I recommend this place for bicyclist , the roads are amazing and there are little towns 15-20km away in all directions.I also had to buy a bike because I didn't have a car and Terence let me store it at night in the shed. Thank you so much It was hard to leave! I will be back of they will have me!

Very good !!

Muy buena

Très bon accueil, très chaleureux. Le studio est très bien placé dans un petit coin de paradis. Magnifique coucher de soleil. Merci beaucoup Terence pour cet excellent séjour!

Irene and Dave couldn't have been nicer and more welcoming. It felt like visiting family you hadn't seen in years. They showed us around their amazing and beautiful property and we even had a play with their dogs Benny and Bruce. We had a great stay in your gorgeous home. Thank you for your hospitality. Hope to visit again soon!

It was a fantastic stay with Irene and Dave. Fantastic scenery and so much hospitality. We will defineatly come back.

Staying with Irene and Dave was an absolutely life changing experience. Not only was the place gorgeous but the fun was never ending. If you want to find out why so many Irish have a longing for the motherland, come here. The beauty of this place will steal your heart and the history will leave you awestruck. Not to mention that Dave and Irene are some of the most caring people in the world.

My sisters and I had a grand stay with Irene and Dave. The rooms in their historic mansion were cozy and comfortable. The amenities too many to count and the farm was a welcome escape. Benny the dog was great fun too I appreciate their efforts to keep the home used and useful - and happy to have helped toward that end. It was a highlight for our entire trip! I highly recommend a stay in this grand home.

Irene and Dave are a lovely couple who were very hospitable. Their dogs were a hoot and made great company as Dave walked us around the property. Lovely home with so much history!

An amazing Airbnb location and superb accommodation! Just a beautiful place to go and experience. Make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy the whole experience of staying here. Dave and Irene are a lovely, helpful and enthusiastic couple.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We weren't sure what to expect from hosts who live in such a grand, magnificent mansion. But Dave and Irene welcomed us into their home with a friendly cup of tea at their kitchen table. The apartment was warm, clean, and inviting, with a private kitchen and sitting room. We loved learning about the history of the estate. Dave gave us a tour of the grounds and his 60-acre reforestation project. If we ever go back to Ireland, Dave and Irene's home will be our first stop. Next time we'll stay longer.

Je pourrais écrire un roman sur cette maison...! Sans aucun doute la meilleure expérience b&b. La maison de style géorgien est fantastique!! la chambre (qui en réalité est un appartement privé!) est sublime. Et que dire de David et son accueil? absolument fabuleux! extremement gentil, serviable, l'histoire de la maison est captivante, tout comme la ballade dans l'immense propriété ou moutons,agneaux, poney se cotoient. Les deux chiens bruce et benny sont juste attachants et incroyables. Ca a été tres dur de repartir tant on s'y sent bien!! Un passage OBLIGATOIRE pour tous ceux qui veulent passer par l'Irlande, à travers sa campagne et son histoire...

Nous avons été bien accueilli malgré la tempête. L'appartement est fidèle à la description et le chauffage fonctionne bien (appréciable en hiver ;-). Il est proche du centre de Kilkenny à pied. Un beau séjour.

Despite a mixup about our arrival time, our on-site host Sinead was gracious and helpful and the flat was in an amazing location and so comfortable for our family. We absolutely loved it there. Because Will was in California and in a different time zone, and we didn't have Sinead's number, it made getting into the flat difficult but once that all got straightened out it was a delightful experience.

Great apartment,perfect location for the city centre,very comfortable beds....will definitely be back

Beautiful appartment! Amazing location! We loved everything in this appartment! Sinead is an amazing person, very welcoming and helpful! Was available whenever we needed anything! Thank you guys so much for everything! We felt home

Will couldn't have done enough for us prior to our arrival. He was very prompt with any response even with the time difference. They made sure the heating was on so it was nice and cozy for our arrival and even added a few extras, like having a few basics in the fridge and cupboards. The description was very accurate and the apartment was in an ideal location over looking the river and abbey grounds. Walking distance to bars, shops and restaurants. It was also quiet at night. During the day there was plenty of space for 4 of us to sit and relax. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Kilkenny.

Beautiful flat, you can see three churches from the windows! We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location, very easy to explore Kilkenny by foot, also nice car park across the street. The apartment itself is nice and absolutely has everything you need. It's not fancy, nothing over-the-top, just the basic necessities for a nice stay in Kilkenny.

Very nice apartment with everything you need. Very clean, great beds and very central to town

The apartment is very well equipped and I got a lovely view of the mist rising over the fields in the morning. The bed was super comfortable and it was a very restful experience overall. Matthew was really easy to communicate with with any questions beforehard. It's a perfect self contained place.

We stayed for the weekend of electric picnic. The apartment was lovely, warm, spotless and comfortable. Mathew met me at arrival and was very accommodating. The apartment is within a house and I met some of the other family members over the weekend who were very friendly and welcoming. The location is a little outside portlaoise, a 30 min walk or 4 minute drive so it is perfect.

Welcoming hosts. Pleasant stay, peaceful and quiet.

A good apartment clean and specious, and a very nice owner who will help you if needed

We were here for a very brief stay but they were welcoming and the place had everything you need!

Matthew was an incredibly accommodating host who had the apartment ready for us without fuss despite our late booking. Location very accessible on the edge of Portlaoise; we were using it to get to Stradbally/Electric Picnic a quick drive away. The apartment is well equipped with everything you could need for a short stay, and exceptionally clean. Would not hesitate to book again!

This was the perfect place to stay for the week. I didn't meet Matthew, but was welcomed by his mother Trish, who is also an airbnb host and really lovely and made me feel very welcomed and at home. The space is self contained, nice and cosy and clean. It feels like you are out in the country, but is only a simple 25min walk into town. I had some difficulty finding the location because I used (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps, so best to use the host's personal instructions. Matthew was very helpful in giving directions when I was lost however.

I booked this accommodation for my son who was doing a training course in the area. Mathew was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I would book this apartment again if i needed to stay in the area.
