Three of us (me, my wife and her sister) stayed at Mena House mid-way through our UK and Ireland trip. We rang from the contact details in the Irish Tourism B&B guide because it looked and sounded nice, provided free wifi and was in a reasonable price range. The owner (Katherine) gave us good directions over the phone and rang... More

We stayed at Mena House towards the end of our 2 week stay in Ireland. Catherine was so helpful in recommending places to eat, visit and even provided a suggestion for the best route to our next destination. At breakfast she served every fresh fruit available and I was delighted especially to have fresh local strawberries and rhubarb compote! Large... More

We got a very nice welcome. We were two and got a family suite which was huge. Everything was very clean. and quite. Katherine had really good advice for the town and for our route ahead. Breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend it and hope to stay there again because there is a lot more to see in Kilkenny town... More

This was the perfect B&B located in Kilkenny. The owner made us feel comfortable about driving outside of Dublin. The rooms were large and very clean. This was the only B&B where Irish oatmeal was served...and we love Irish oatmeal.

Our first B&B experience and it could not have been better. Catherine a perfect hostess, warm and friendly, and very helpful. Wish we could have talked more with her as she is such a delight! Stayed only one night, on our way to enjoy more of Ireland for the first time. Would certainly recommend this place.

My wife and I stayed here one of the first nights of our honeymoon. The rooms were nice and cozy and breakfast was delicious. However, Katherine is what makes this place fantastic. She took time to suggest places to go and things to do all across the Southern Cost on our trip in addition to the places to go in... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and Katherine was amazing from the minute we walked into the door. We got into Kilkenny a little early and when we spoke to her she told us not to worry and come on over. Katherine showed us a map and all the hot spots to hit up on our 10... More

I visited Kilkenny on a recent 24-day trek through Great Britain and Ireland, and the Mena House was the perfect place to stay! I was there two two nights, and Catherine was a charming, perfect host; she made me feel welcome the moment I walked in the door. The place was tidy and warm, and she offered all kinds of... More

Mena House was my first experience in Ireland with a B&B, and I must say I could not have asked for a better experience. Katherine greeted us with a warm smile and immediately gave me the feeling that all would be well (after a rather difficult first day of left side driving). She was a wealth of knowledge and could...
