The owner was so kind and took the time to chat and help us with anything we needed, it was a very personable experience. We stayed in a beautiful apartment (we had one double and two twin beds) what came with a kitchen and lovely open shower. The views are unbelievable and it was a great location. We would highly recommend a stay at Kate’s Rest. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9a2d3b94-56ee-4a88-b815-8398396ac7c6-1750594090344.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kaycee Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved it Great location not far from Kilkenny, quiet and comfortable.
