We had a wonderful stay and the hospitality was amazing, second to none. Pat was extremely welcoming and certainly couldn't do enough for us. The room was fantastic and the breakfast out of this world! Also the location is perfect. We will certainly be recommending Fanad House to all we know and we will most definitely be going back.

The welcome from Pat & Treacle was wonderful. As a frequent visitor to Ireland I have travelled extensively throughout the country and can honestly say there isn't a warmer welcome, a more comfortable bed in a well appointed bedroom or a better breakfast anywhere in Ireland. There is ample parking and for a main road location very quiet at night... More

Great location right across the road from the castle. Pat was very warm, friendly and extremely helpful. He couldn't do enough to make sure your stay was comfortable and was always on hand for any questions. The room was great, clean, tidy and spacious. Did not smell and the linen was clean and fresh. We stayed in a four star... More

Welcome was good. Friendly host. However the room was very disappointing! Musty smell. Bathroom linen left a lot to be desired. Ona towel dirty, another frayed and ragged. Would not stay again. Good location near the centre of kilkenny.

Pat gives you a great welcome on arrival and can't do enough for you. The breakfast is great and parking is plentiful also. Very close to the Castle and the grounds are beautiful for a walk Recommended for your next trip to Kilkenny!

Fanad House was my first accommodation on my vacation in Ireland and the quality service and wonderful atmosphere is setting the bar very high for the rest of my trip. Some of the high points are the location, the clean and quiet rooms and the wonderful breakfasts. The B&B overlooks the Kilkenny Castle gardens and is a short walking distance... More

A very nice stay! The room was VERY clean & VERY well kept. The room was spacilous, the bathroom was nice, and the location was good. Breakfast was quick, hot and very good. Very safe and quiet location. My only complaint is the conversion to U.S. dollars of the VISA on checkout. The exchange rate was NOT GOOD! I would... More

Again we gave this wonderful guest house another visit overlooking the Castle gardens! Not just for the brilliant central location but for the comfortable rooms and freshly cooked breakfasts. Before our cooked to order breakfast we had fruit, yogurt etc. No hotel does it as well. Pat was his usual self, helpful as ever. We would not stay anywhere else... More

This was a wonderful place to stay in Kilkenny. The location is very close to the castle, and the walk into town is short and lovely. Very accommodating-- my boyfriend and I were able to leave our bags there while we explored the town the day we were leaving.The family that runs this place, especially Patrick (the owner), is incredibly...

We found this by asking at the tourism office and Ruth was waiting for us when we arrived. Patrick, the owner, runs a marvelous place to stay. Our first night and one of our best in a 15 day stay. Pat's sense of humor will stick with us forever. We wished we could have stayed longer but we will be... More
