Top Black Freren Arch Hotel Reviews

The Club House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most accommodating hotels I’ve ever stayed in! Ian (the owner I believe) went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable on our first trip away with our baby. All the staff in the hotel couldn’t have done enough for us to make our stay comfortable. The apartment was brilliant and spacious, easily accessed from the car park for a stroller. The breakfast was lovely too. I’ll definitely be back!"

Glendine Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, newly renovated rooms. Very friendly staff. Good food."

Launard House

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was incredibly thoughtful and responsive"

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We are one week into a three week vacation. The Hoban was our first night and is still the best so far. Room was large bed was a North American style king size, food was amazing, staff extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this place."

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Our stay was towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Ireland and I was really looking forward to staying at Mount Juliet Estate. Website and booking sites show a huge old manor house but our accommodation ended up being in a Marriot on a golf course. I wouldn't consider it a 5 star hotel. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable however the bathroom was shabby, dirty and the door didn't close properly. Breakfast was included and had a good selection."

Rafter'S Gastropub

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly place in a great location. Close to everything, but quiet when we needed it. We would stay here again."

Kilbawn Country House

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fabulous time at this excellent property. The owners(Elizabeth and Jim)could not do enough for us. Breakfasts were superb and there was always a pot of coffee available. You do need a car here, but it's great For Gowran Park racecourse."

No 13 Townhouse

8/10 Good

"The room was clean , a convenient location center of town"
