This is an ingenious restoration that is beautifully rendered. You're only about 20-25 minutes outside Waterford by car - an easy commute and there is plenty of parking right by the river. You're not far from the coastal towns of Ireland's Ancient East, which are well worth the drive. This is a great central location and such a fun place to stay. We loved it! ##### Debra C.

Cozy inside with a charming wood burning stove to keep warm. Well stocked kitchen.

Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy "Unique" is the key word. If you want to experience something different, this is the place! The layout is unusual because it's a converted church. The heating is like a covered church (we built a fire both nights which made it even more charming), with the heated floor being a welcome feature. The grounds, with the Fall leaves in abundance, make it a storybook setting. We dined in Waterford both nights, so can't comment on the more local options. The beds were very comfortable. Host was great. ##### Mark I. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi F. Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Unique Treasure! We had a fantastic stay at the Gothic Church. It was a cozy getaway outside of town. The shower was warm with good pressure. We voted the upstairs bed the most comfortable on our trip! Carmel was a fantastic host with so many ideas about what to see and do, and gave us great recommendations for restaurants. ##### Heidi F.

Our stay was magical. The design is the best of all the many places we stayed in. Stunning really. This location could easily be used in a fairytale! I just can’t say enough.

I never thought I would stay in an old church. It was so fun. It was myself, my wife and my 4 girls ages 16 and triplets age 12\. We had such a great time in this old church. The owners have done an amazing job restoring it. It had really cool Nic Nics everywhere and was comfortable to stay at. If you are looking for something completely different to do in Ireland (land of old churches) I would suggest you book this place. ##### Charles S.

Fantastic conversion/restoration of a very old Gothic church to vacation rental. Very quirky & needs a couple of repairs. But I would stay again in a heartbeat!! Carmel was beyond helpful with our transportation issues even though she'd had a family death. Her renters are obviously very important to her. ##### Dawn D.

As two couples from the USA, we wanted a unique place to stay that was convenient for day trips to the Kilkenny, Tipperary and Waterford areas. This Gothic Church took the cake! The love put into renovating this church is shown in every corner. The owners' stories of the renovation, along with their helpfulness and availability, made them one of our favorite hosts. The church is so well equipped with everything from games to kitchen spices. Note the temperature of the place is comfortable, but not adjustable. We all agreed this was a stay of a lifetime! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jostein A.
