we are traveling through Kinsale, Cobhn and Kilkenney in April. We need 3 nights lodging in one of these places. Recommendation? We need 2 rooms. Thanks.
We spent 3 nights at Mena Guest House in Kilkenny and really enjoyed it. It is a short walk into the center of town, but there are at least two pubs within two blocks of the house. Katherine is a cheerful host, breakfast was nice and there is a lovely private garden behind the house. Ample parking in front.

I picked The Club House on price, but it's much nicer than that. A minute from town, parking, good restaurant, and great breakfast. Even some nice stained glass doors. Was once a fox hunting club, hence the name.
I find this post a little confusing, as I wouldn't say that lodging in Kilkenny really serves Kinsale and Cobh. If you are driving through these two on your way from Kilkenny to somewhere else, OK, but to visit Kinsale and Cobh, a better place to stay is Cork.
