Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Kilkenny

Donal’s log cabin was just beautiful. Although the weather was terrible while we were there - it didn’t dampen the stay we had. The log cabin itself is stunning, and had everything we needed. Donal was a brilliant host, checking in on us soon after we arrived to see if we were ok or needed anything. He gave us a lovely recommendation for a walk nearby in a wood/forest which was stunning. Lovely and safe for my dog too! He loved it. I’ll definitely be staying again!

The house was really well located for our visit to see family. Liked the quiet location. Really helpful instructions and so nice to have welcome pack of bread, milk etc, especially as we arrived late in evening.

Very new and very modern house with high quality equipment and appliances throughout the house. This is an A2 rated building with an air source heat pump. However, this house is very comfortable and pleasantly warm without the heating being on, due to the excellent windows, doors, and insulation. Wifi is excellent and the Heating is easily controlled. Note, this house is in a housing estate with some building work to be completed on other roads. That being said, it was very quiet and private for us. Pub and shops are close by and are walkable. Its a good base for the Waterford Greenway, with the city and Kilmacthomas within easy driving distance. Ger kept in touch throughout and was very quick to respond. We had a very comfortable home-from-home stay.

This was the perfect combination of "rural" and "suburban". On a peaceful, country lane, away from the bustle of Tipperary, yet only a 5 minute drive to all the shops and conveniences one would need. Surrounded by sheep, cattle, horses and meadows, it is the quintessential Irish property. Thoughtfully remodeled, it provided all the modern necessities without losing its basic charm. Mary was immediately available to answer questions, and provided excellent feedback. The house itself is well arranged, comfortable, and welcoming...small, but roomy enough so as not to feel crowded. The two fireplaces were a wonderful bonus. Our only issue is the size of the main bedroom. Having to deal with the original floor plan during the remodel, the "master" bedroom is large enough for only a double bed - barely. I only wish I had found out about Mary's other Airbnb rental - in Dublin - before we rented someone else's there. I'm sure hers would have been MUCH nicer than the one we ended up renting!

Such a beautiful place and Olivia couldn't have been more supportive the whole stay. Everything was genuinely perfect and we can't wait to come back in the future! Hugely recommend to anyone who wants a really special stay

Great place and host, so friendly and welcoming. Met us and showed us around and lit the wood burner, so very cosy. Great night sleep so quiet and comfortable beds. Left us lots of food and introduced us to the new calves in the morning. All just wonderful thank you

Amazing value! Kathleen's cottage was beautiful, well equipped and very clean! We loved the chess board and other games. Kathleen even had a fire lit ready for our arrival, and had a chilled bottle of wine waiting for us as a birthday present in the fridge! Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely be back again :)

What a gorgeous, peaceful, and well stocked home! The scenery is a pastoral postcard, and the home is on a private, quiet cul-de-sac (many neighbors are full time residents ~ friendly, quiet, considerate). We have two dogs, and we were grateful to find a dog-friendly residence AND with so many amazing forest trails less than five minutes from the house ~ heaven! And the home ~ 3 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms ~ a well stocked kitchen, a most comfy living room with a great TV, a fireplace ~ all so convenient and comfortable. We needed a place for two months as we are moving to the area, but it takes so long here to close on a house, so we weren't just vacationing; we were LIVING there. Still, it had all we needed for day-to-day living. Miriam was immediately responsive when we contacted her, but honestly, we never needed anything so we rarely needed to be in touch. In sum, it was a remarkable deal for such comfort in an amazing area We feel quite lucky.

Andrew was a great host! We loved our stay, and it was a great location to do day trips to the south of Ireland! The friendly dog was a huge plus, as well!

We wanted to stay a bit outside of the downtown area as we have a car. There was ample on street parking. The Lidl was only a few blocks away. There is a lake just about 1 km up the hill which is great for a walk or run. Beware of the geese. They are a bit feisty. You can easily walk into the "tourist zone". The kitchen is well equipped. As it is an older house there are a few quirks. Pearse walks you through them. On other reviews the height of the shower was noted. That is true. The shower ceiling slants. As I am the average size of a 12 yo (maybe 10), this was not an issue for me. My husband said he sat down and it was not a big deal. The bed was very comfortable. The dishwasher and washing machine worked fine. Nearly everything can be recycled in the bins out front which we appreciate.

Helen is phenomenal. Always offering suggestions for places to go and a useful Dublin Guide…very responsive and a wonderful host. The space is actually much nicer than the pictures…it’s a bright, very well-maintained, and luxurious apartment in a perfectly central area of Dublin with easy access to everything. It was extremely clean, beds were comfy, even the pullout couch was comfy and had plenty of linens. And Helen opened the place early for us to accommodate our arrival. All around wonderful experience!

My stay in this apartment was exceptional. The accommodation was exactly as described and provided all the amenities promised. The hosts were very responsive and provided clear and helpful information. The apartment is located in a quiet and safe suburb with exceptional sea views. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

Irene and Dave were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. They made sure we had everything we needed, even helped us make a fire, and gave a tour of the gorgeous property. It’s clear they care about their place and their guests. All of the animals were a beautiful bonus! It was a highlight of our trip to Ireland and we cant wait to return.

Our stay at Joan's was very relaxing. It was exactly what I expected and wanted. Waking up to the view of the sea out the window was perfect each day. The locals are extremely friendly and always happy to talk. The apartment itself is very spacious and comfortable and has all of the amenities needed. I will definitely be back again.

Seliina was the perfect host. I was there for a quick overnight and her place fit the bill. She was super generous with supplies in the kitchen and bathroom.

Ellen’s Airbnb was a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Ellen was a friendly and attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

we couldn't recommend this fabulous accommodation enough. It is set in beautiful surroundings with spectacular views. The property is everything you need and more. The rooms are all excellent and we had a choice of relaxing spaces to chillout in. Fantastic location with great space both inside and out. We met John who was lovely to chat to and pointed us in the right direction for activities to do etc. We will definitely be returning 😊

Beautiful view of the sea and very spacious house. Dave was extremely responsive and made us feel right at home. Location also very close to a grocery store, coffee, food, etc.

This is a love song to Atherlow Castle. Our family of 6(all adults) stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. We truly felt at home. There’s plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy in the castle but there was still such a comfortable feeling. The grounds are lovely, with the nicest looking herd of cows I’ve ever seen peacefully grazing on impossibly green grass. Freda and Declan were quintessential hosts! Friendly and unobtrusive with adorable bouncy dogs. The area, as described by a local tea shop owner we struck up a conversation with, is real Ireland not tourist Ireland. All of the major sites are within driving distance but the local area has hidden gems. We have stayed in wonderful Airbnbs all over the world but Atherlow Castle won my heart.

We loved our stay at Whiting Bay. The house is beautiful and set in the most stunning location. Maria was a very helpful host and responded very quickly to any queries. The house is ideal for large groups and worked so well for our family gathering. I would highly recommend.

We fell in love with the house. It just felt like home. Super comfortable, peaceful, spacious and clean. It had every amenity you can wish for. I could have stayed forever. One negative, unfortunately, was the Internet connection. It did not work at all. We contacted Susan and were told that the provider does not work weekends. I think maybe a little effort could have been done to contact a help desk to intervene. Some of us needed to connect for work and it was quite frustrating that the service was not available. It also meant of course that we could not watch any of the TV applications available on their smart TV.

Justin was helpful from my first enquiry onwards. The property was as described & spotlessly clean. Easy & clear check in instructions received. Could not fault this in anyway.

Great time, does exactly what it says on the tin! Would recommend and could return.
