“…where the locals stash their guests.”
Kilkenny has topped the IBAL survey of Ireland's cleanest cities and towns for a record fourth time.
The courtyard
A hidden yard behind Patrick Street
Every room opens directly onto the gated courtyard, so it stays bright, airy and wonderfully quiet, yet the Castle is a two-minute stroll away.
Then & now
Patrick Street, c.1900
Long before it welcomed travellers, our yard housed the carriages and horses of Kilkenny Castle. The street outside has hardly changed – the same limestone, the same gentle bustle – and the courtyard gates still open onto the heart of the Medieval Mile.
Meet Bo too, our friendly rescue dog, who takes his greeting duties very seriously.
