We are after getting back from hotel Kilkenny and I must admit I was delighted with the hotel. The staff were very friendly in all Departments as we used the Bar, Reception, Lesiure Center & aboviously the Bedrooms. The pool was very well designed for kids. We also used the babysitter from their List of vetted People and again I was impressed. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
