We stayed here for one night in March 2013. The B&B is located 5 minutes by car from Kilkenny city center, the location is very quiet and the house has a very nice little garden. The room was sufficient in size, very clean and had a bathroom ensuite. In the evening, one could sit in the living room next to... More

We spent 3 nights at this B&B, conveniently located outside Kilkenny. The room was not very big, yet cosy and properly equipped. The owners vere very kind and helpful. The breakfast is actually great! The only negative remark concerns the low pressure of water in the shower,

We stayed at the Hillgrove on the last night of our trip and were one of the last guests for the season. We found the rooms to be extremely small...our bathroom was actually a former closet we think...and we had no working television anywhere. The very pleasant hosts told us they were buying all new TVs for next season so... More

A friend recommended Hillgrove and we were not disappointed. Margaret and Tony Drennan were delightful hosts, even helping us with our search for my wife's Irish ancestors and giving us a lift into town when taxis didn't show up. Hillgrove is a beautiful home about 2km from downtown Kilkenny on the road to Wexford. A very pleasant setting with beautiful... More

Hillgrove Bed & Breakfast was a delight. The food was homemade, authentic, and delicious. Margaret was a wonderful host and we felt very welcomed. The rooms were clean and well equipped, parking was also easy in and out.

The location is just a couple of minutes outside the busy town of Kilkenny. Quiet location and easy parking compared to staying in town. We loved it here. Margaret's French toast is covered with an entire banana and it is site to behold and to eat. We just loved it. A great place to stay in the country and so... More

Once again this year we stayed at the Hillgrove. Margaret and Tony are great, and the breakfast is super. Lots of fruit/cereal available on the sideboard and a really good full Irish. Also give the porridge with Irish Mist a try!! The Hillgrove is located outside of Kilkenny but a very short direct drive into town. It is a lovely... More
