We had a problem with one of our B&B's and Brigid came to our rescue. She took us in at the last minute and turned a frightful day into one of the best of our trip. Alcantra is a beautiful home and you won't meet anyone nicer or more helpful that the hosts, Brigid and Liam. You need to drive... More

We arrived early and were still able to check in. Great hosts - Liam & Brigid. Best breakfast in Ireland on our trip. Liam even went out of his way to help us when our GPS battery was dying. Liam recommended an amazing restaurant in town - La Rivista - that we absolutely enjoyed. Wonderful stay! More

The hosts were lovely. The room was warm,large and very comfortable. It was easy walking distance into town. It was just lovely no faults anywhere. More

We enjoyed our stay at Alcantra. Liam had a family obligation that took him out of town but he came back from Dublin for the one night just for us. The rooms are beautiful and immaculate. Brigid didn't come back from Dublin so we didn't get a chance to meet her but Liam was a great host. And his breakfast... More

August 6th 2008 We just had to write to tell you about this brilliant Bed & Breakfast with a brillaint hostess ~ what a find !! Brigid, the hostess, is so welcoming, greeting us with a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits in her lovely sunny conservatory. She gave us a map of Kilkenny, and had time to sit with us,... More

This was the best B&B we stayed at during our two week trip through Ireland. The room was spacious and comfortable, Brigid was extremely helpful, and the breakfast was fantastic - the freshly squeezed orange juice and scones were wonderful. The only slight drawback was the walking distance to town (a little difficult for me being both pregnant and jetlagged). More

This b&b was one of my favourites during my recent trip to Ireland and the main reason why i liked it was because of the warm hospitality shown to me by the owners. Located within walking distance of the heart of Kilkenny, this 2 storey house has lovely light coloured decor, plenty of space in the room and in the... More

My friend and I stayed at Alcantra for two nights at the end of April. The owners, Liam and Brigid, welcomed us on our arrival. Our room was big, bright, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Liam asked us what we would like for breakfast the following morning and what time we would like to eat. They were very obliging with... More

I arranged a one night stay over email with Liam and Brigid Holohan, the proprietors of Alcantra. The booking was very efficient. When I arrived I had a welcoming cup of coffee in the conservatory. My room was tastefully decorated with an en-suite shower, the bed was very comfy and the house was lovely and warm. Breakfast was lovely, with... More
