The Rectory Barn was an incredible…

The Rectory Barn was an incredible stay! Beautiful Irish countryside, with donkeys and dogs and chickens and cows. Kilkenny is beautiful too, lovely bits to do. Simon and Nikki are very attentive and make sure you have everything you need. Thanks so much!

A Magical Stay in the Heart of the Irish Countryside

We had a fantastic stay at Old Rectory Barn in Kilkenny, hosted by the lovely Simon and Nikki. They made us feel incredibly welcome and were wonderful hosts from start to finish.

The barn is beautiful, comfortable, and full of charm, with stunning views across the hills. One of the things that made our stay extra special was meeting all the animals — the donkeys, dogs, and chickens were such a lovely part of the experience and really added to the peaceful, homely atmosphere.

It’s the perfect place to escape, relax, and enjoy the beautiful Irish countryside. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend Old Rectory Barn to anyone visiting Kilkenny. We’d definitely love to come back!

A delightful experience.

The Barn is a superb conversion into an incredible holiday home from home. We had a wonderful stay with every amenity you could wish for in the most comfortable, and spacious, well laid out accomodation. The views over miles of beautiful Irish countryside are spectacular, and we loved it so much we will definitely be returning to this little gem.
