The breakfast was warm, fresh and healthy! This is not very common among US stays so we loved the break from all the processed meals!

An absolutely lovely place to stay with wonderful hosts. Fantastic breakfast. The walk into town is not far at all and a good opportunity to walk off dinner or a pint or both!

Lovely BnB in Kilkenny
We loved our stay here. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and the Irish breakfast in the mornings were delicious. Our hosts came out to talk to us during breakfast and were amazing to chat to about Kilkenny. The rooms were clean and comfortable but nothing fancy, but as we spent most of our time exploring the gorgeous town it was plenty for our needs.

Nice b&b
We booked with Expedia but when we got to B&b we were not on their book. They did have a spare room so we were lucky but we’re not happy that we weren’t expected.

excellent place to stop for bed and breakfast
Excellent breakfast. Welcome and comfortable ambience at Auburndale bed an breakfast. Comfortable room with good en-suite bathroom with shower. Bring own hairdryer and shower cap... Kllkenny is a jewel of a small medieval city with lots to see in the city and in surrounding area.. Good range of good places to eat at reasonable prices in the city too. Lots of information supplied by hosts.

Wonderful B&B!
This was a wonderful B&B experience. We felt right at home in this lovely establishment. The staff made us feel welcomed, they were very friendly and we had several nice conversations with them. The breakfast was delicious, and the dining area felt restaurant quality. The bedroom was nice and comfortable. The location is a brisk walk away from all the action. I would gladly recommend this place.

Home away from home
Wonderful. Hosts very friendly. Room was very large. Breakfast was amazing - fresh fruit and pastries, coffee, tea, juice, cereal and THEN the main course of bacon and eggs or pancakes or oatmeal. Accommodations very homey, clean and quite.

Beautiful and hospitable
It couldn't have been better in a 4 star hotel. Owner was very friendly and helpful. We were with the 3 of us and got a beautiful big room brand new with nice bathroom. It's a little bit away from the centre so you need a car or like us, the owner called a taxi in and advised where to go for dinner and had a lovely night out. Breakfast was beautiful. Couldn't have asked for more. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice, comfy B&B
Super comfy room, clean and warm. The breakfast is also great, with eggs made to order, fresh fruit, yogurt and bread. I was there for 2 nights only, but he owners made me feel like home. Location is a little far from the city center (meaning it’s no walking distance), so I recommend renting a car (which you can park for free in the B&B) or a bike if the weather is good. Totally recommend it!
