It was the perfect holiday for us, we stayed 5 days, with older children 10 and 16. They appreciated the pool table and air hockey which meant we had an actual break! It was lovely and peaceful, there was Netflix so we relaxed as a family in the night, it was great we couldn’t ask for more.

The holiday home includes 1 bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, as well as a kettle. Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. The accommodation offers a fireplace.

I liked this place very much. 20 minutes walking from the center of Kilkenny, far enough from the noise of the city, in a real peaceful area and that was exactly what I was looking for: a relaxing holiday. Walking to the center and step by step reaching it, was an exiting sensation: medieval buildings, cathedrals, the castel… all fabulous! The house was fully equipped, warm and clean. I only tried the big bed and that was very comfortable. In the two big supermarkets, at 10 minutes walking, I found all I needed to eat. Moreover in Kilkenny there are a lot of shops for everything, restaurants, bars and pubs.

    We had a fantastic stay with family at Knockreagh farm cottages. They were well kitted out with everything you could ever need for a family stay. They were warm and cosy with comfy beds. We loved the hot tub and sauna and bar. Mikes communication was without fault. Highly recommend this property and wish Mike the best with his endeavours.

    Everything! Lots of little surprises like a free bar, pool table, air hockey table and a little playground . Everything you could need is provided in the cottage. Its very clean and comfortable. It really was a home from home. Mike greeted us with a box of groceries to keep us going until we got organised. The hot tub was a big hit with our family.

    Castle Lodge is easy to find and has ample off street parking. Our room was tucked under the eaves and was pretty, well appointed, spacious and comfortable with a large ensuite bathroom. Our breakfast was brought to our room in a picnic basket with a generous and good choice of items. I loved the picnic basket - charming touch. Liam was very helpful and gave us good advice on what to see, where to go and how to catch live local music - a real treat as we found out later live music wasn't so easy to find.

    The house was so clean, cosy & comfortable. The bunk beds went down a treat with the kids. Super location to explore Kilkenny city. Mike was there to greet us when we arrived. Treats & the essentials like bread & milk were left for us, a lovely token. We woke up to snow on the first morning, it was magical. I’d definitely recommend Knockreagh Farm Cottages. Thanks Mike.

    The cottages at Knockreagh are all brand new with gorgeous interior design and every comfort you could wish for. Brilliantly kitted out - the one we were in even had throws on the sofas, candles and tasteful Christmas decorations. It was super warm and cosy. This is probably the best self catering we’ve ever stayed in. Mike was super welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. A great location between Callan and Kilkenny but also on a working farm. It would be amazing in the summer too with the outdoor seating and BBQ. We loved it.

    The cottage we stayed in was absolutely spotless. It had a unique charming character and was furnished to a very high standard. We received a warm welcome and we were regularly asked if we needed anything during our stay. The owners live nearby and made us feel at home. The secluded location is ideal for walking and provides a safe place for children to play.
