Butler House

Every single thing about this hotel is beautifully done. The Butler House, once a family home, is a fine, elegant hotel in the heart of Kilkenny. While the lobby is simple, the staff was very attentive, friendly and helpful. Our room was gorgeous and at the head of the staircase on the second floor, overlooking the street. The bed was huge, with soft sheets and a perfect pillow. We had comfortable upholstered chairs, a large wardrobe, and the carpet was plush and soft. The bathroom was large and well appointed. Breakfast each day was held in the breakfast room, which was lovely. Each morning we were seated right at the bow window over looking the garden - so pretty! We were able to order off the menu, always a treat, and our breakfasts were delicious, piping hot and made to order. I think the backyard was my favorite part - it was a grand and well designed walled family garden with huge, old shade trees, and large lawn, shrubbery and paved pathways all around. I could imagine family's children playing in the large garden. I would stay here again and again.

Very much enjoyed our 1 night stay in this lovely atmospheric and elegant house. Perfectly located, and parking available. A lift or stairs to go up to rooms, our room and bathroom was perfectly clean and lovely and quiet, Gorgeous gardens attached. The breakfast was an a la carte choice, and was very nice. All the staff very friendly. Lovely stay.
