We stayed at Alcantra at the end of April. Liam and Brigid were wonderful hosts. Their home is beautiful and they make you feel very welcome. It's a ten minute walk into Kilkenny. We drove the car a few times as it was raining and had no problem finding parking. Brigid gave us several suggestions of the hot spots to... More

Thanks Brigid & Liam for a wonderful stay. The breakfast was great and it was pleasant to chat with you both about everything from your phone & internet lines being switched out (glad I could help get you back up and running Liam) to what sites to see in town! Kyteler's Inn was a great suggestion! Sad we couldn't spend... More

Alcantra is a lovely place with nice rooms and a good though not spectacular breakfast. The biggest disappointments here were no Wifi and no coffee in the room--two deal breakers for us. We just stayed one night. More

We had a problem with one of our B&B's and Brigid came to our rescue. She took us in at the last minute and turned a frightful day into one of the best of our trip. Alcantra is a beautiful home and you won't meet anyone nicer or more helpful that the hosts, Brigid and Liam. You need to drive... More

We arrived early and were still able to check in. Great hosts - Liam & Brigid. Best breakfast in Ireland on our trip. Liam even went out of his way to help us when our GPS battery was dying. Liam recommended an amazing restaurant in town - La Rivista - that we absolutely enjoyed. Wonderful stay! More

The hosts were lovely. The room was warm,large and very comfortable. It was easy walking distance into town. It was just lovely no faults anywhere. More

We enjoyed our stay at Alcantra. Liam had a family obligation that took him out of town but he came back from Dublin for the one night just for us. The rooms are beautiful and immaculate. Brigid didn't come back from Dublin so we didn't get a chance to meet her but Liam was a great host. And his breakfast... More

August 6th 2008 We just had to write to tell you about this brilliant Bed & Breakfast with a brillaint hostess ~ what a find !! Brigid, the hostess, is so welcoming, greeting us with a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits in her lovely sunny conservatory. She gave us a map of Kilkenny, and had time to sit with us,... More

This was the best B&B we stayed at during our two week trip through Ireland. The room was spacious and comfortable, Brigid was extremely helpful, and the breakfast was fantastic - the freshly squeezed orange juice and scones were wonderful. The only slight drawback was the walking distance to town (a little difficult for me being both pregnant and jetlagged). More
