Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

The Club House Hotel

The Club House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Overall a lovely place to stay in the centre of all the action. The hotel breakfast is definitely worth it. Their Hotel guide states that they have room service but apparently it’s a misprint - it’s not available. It also says they have laundry facilities but they don’t. We were there during a Bank Holiday weekend so the local laundrettes were closed, but there are self service washing machines and driers available at the Market Cross car park that are clean and efficient. We had a Superior Double room which was very spacious. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful."

"The estate was so nice, the spa was unreal, walk around the grounds was lovely, the tupper bar was so lovely for a few drinks, the food in the bar was amazing, had the nicest lamb shank ever. The leisure centre pool was so nice too, a togs dryer would be a great addition"

Launard House

Launard House

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay @ Launard house! Sharon & Adam provided exceptional service & hospitality. This was the 11th lodging stop for us (Scotland & Ireland) and the first to have a top sheet & washcloths, which we appreciated as Americans. Sometimes it’s the little things!😃 We walked into town for dinner with dozens of great dining choices. Breakfast was delicious and we wish we could have stayed longer. "
