BnB recommendations Kilkenny, Killarney, Kinsale, Ennis

Kilkenny:

The hosts are a wonderful friendly couple; it’s a really nice place, and they serve a great breakfast.

Kinsale: The owner is great and has a pub down the street as well. Knows the area well.

Kilarney: Friendly hosts; convenient to the main highway, but a short walk to the town center.

Of the places you mentioned, I have only stayed in Kinsale and can highly recommend Cloisters B&B. I found the recommendation in Steve's book. My husband and I liked it so much we will be returning in April. We will be visiting Kilkenny and will report back with our experience at the Club House Hotel. I hope this helps.

Not a b&b but we absolutely loved the Lake Hotel in Killarney. It does come with breakfast and is just spectacular

Grey Gables in Ennis is very nice, convenient to train, buses, and old part of the city, and reasonably priced.

The Killeen House in Aghadoe (7 mights outside of Killarney) is wonderful. The owners Michael and Geraldine are delightful. Their restaurant, Rozzer's, is voted the best restaurant in the area, including Killarney. Been there three times so far....can't wait to go back.

We also enjoyed The Old Presbytery in Kinsale. It is quite a bit larger than most of the B&Bs we've enjoyed in Ireland but our room was quite charming and breakfast, which included many choices, was excellent.

Agree with fcraymond76 about Kingfisher in Killarney. We enjoyed our stay there a couple of years back and would book again . Very pleasant.

Another vote for Grey Gables in Ennis. My family has stayed there three times and would not hesitate to go again. A lovely place and very comfortable.
