Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Kilkenny

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!

Emma was was wonderful, always reachable and made checking in and out super easy. Anne was super lovely, giving use great advice and directions on how to get to the pier to see the puffins. The house was wondering and cosy and we had a amazing time. 100% recommend

Had an amazing stay in this property, very friendly host and very beautiful place, cam and quite environment, easy access to town and all the amenities. Highly recommended.

What a great house to stay at. Plenty of space in such a great location. Quiet and peaceful with the Blackrock town only a short walk away. Recommend the breakfast roll from On A Platter at the end of the block. Connie provided some unexpected staples making settling easy. She also put in a lot of effort to get the booking admin right for us. The beds were really comfortable which was quite welcome compared to other AirBnBs on our Europe holidays. We will be back. Thanks again Connie.

the place was lovely, we really enjoyed every minute, felt like home 🌸 Mark was easy to deal and very helpful. highly recommend. we definitely will be back ✨ thank you

Our stay at Flo’s cottage was amazing! The cottage is cozy, beautiful yard, hammocks available, she even stocked the fridge with a few goodies for our arrival! There was a list of nearby pubs, restaurants, and take aways. We were fully stocked with wood for the stove and it was lovely to have in the evenings. Overall I highly recommend this delightful hideaway in the Irish countryside, everything about it is just wonderful! Thanks again Flo!

We stayed at Clodagh's beautiful house for two nights with four children and our dog, and it was absolutely perfect. The kids adored the private beach, and the house itself is full of cosy nooks — perfect for games of hide and seek and for relaxing in the evenings. The views are simply stunning, and the house is just so lovely and welcoming. Everything was immaculate, and Sean was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I honestly can't recommend this house highly enough — we had a wonderful time and would love to return!

Loved our stay, great host and home!

Our stay at Ewe cottage within Ballymaloe was nothing short of magical. Nestled amidst breathtaking surroundings, the estate offers private walks that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in nature's beauty. Access to the hotel swimming pool and restaurant was exceptional, serving incredible food and adding an extra touch of luxury. The cottage itself was pristine, well-equipped, and incredibly cosy, providing the perfect retreat. Robyn as a host was excellent, exceptionally responsive with clear communication and kindly offered lots of recommendations which made our stay even more special. If we could offer more than five stars to the review, we absolutely would! This is a real gem that we cannot recommend highly enough. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic location and i had a small issue that Robyn dealt with immediately. Lovely location would highly recommend to anyone

We had a fantastic Easter weekend stay in Dublin! The location was ideal—close enough to drive or taxi to the main sights, but tucked away enough to feel like a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The cottage was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen to thoughtful touches like local guides and some groceries to start us off. The best beds and bedding we’ve had in an airbnb. Sarah, our host was warm, responsive, and full of great recommendations that made our trip even more memorable. Dublin was buzzing over the long weekend, and it was great to have such a comfortable home base to come back to each night. Anthony was also a welcomed treat. We’d absolutely stay again, highly recommend!

Michelle was so accommodating and kind. We booked the same day of arrival and Michelle went out of her way to go to and clean and sort out the place before our arrival. The home is perfect for families and pets. The estate’s amenities are great, and we enjoyed tea and scones in the club house as well as use of the leisure centre.

Lovely cosy cottage with the fire lit - sheep and chickens for neighbours and a really nice living space. Well appointed kitchen too. Wish we'd been able to stay longer.

We really enjoyed a peaceful few days in Niall's place in late October. We are a family of four with kids aged 8 and 6. The cottage was very cozy with stoves and plenty of fuel. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed. We slept well in really comfortable bedrooms. The surroundings are so peaceful and the additional facilities of the barn with table tennis, sports equipment, games, etc really added to the experience. The cottage is well located and within an hours drive in any direction there is lots to visit. The local village is very nice with two lovely pubs and a picturesque harbour

We had an amazing stay! The house is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. Everything was perfect — cozy, clean, and full of charm. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality and for making our weekend truly special. We hope to come back again!

Rosemary was helpful and the apartment was great. Good to have our own entrance. Peaceful place to stay.

Very comfortable and cozy place. Quiet neighborhood about 15-20 walk to the city center. First time in Dublin. I probably would have chosen a different neighborhood if a friend that lives there did not suggest this area. Very safe. Definitely recommend

Aidan and his family were brilliant hosts. We enjoyed our stay very much, and we’ll definitely come back. They have done a brilliant job restoring a beautiful historic property. Aidan had some great recommendations for places nearby, and we were delighted to find a quiet and convenient dog friendly place to stay. We also enjoyed meeting their neighbor’s lovely horses! A beautiful spot, and very close to Wexford. Definitely worth a stay!

Thankyou so much Cormac, your place was spotless, easy to find and very cosy. It was also near a bus stop and shops. Your mom Rose was very helpful and checked us in. She was very kind and flexible to give us a later checkout. We would highly recommend this place to others. Regards

Thanks for having us we really enjoyed the time on the boat. The kids loved the experience and we enjoyed the relaxing journey down the canal. Would definitely recommend.
