We were staying there last weekend for a 40th party and had spent the day in the downstairs bar, ordering drinks and food. Later... More

I had my hen party in Kilkenny and we booked the Kilford Arms Hotel. It was brilliant. We had a great time and the entertainment was fab. The night club was brilliant and the resident's bar was great too. Ideal location. This hotel is really deceiving from the outside but it's massive inside. I couldn't believe how far it goes... More

This was a weekend stay that my wife & I had been looking forward to for quite a while but it turned out to be a real mixed bag. We parked in the hotel's free outdoor car park & followed the directional arrows which took us through the hotel's very, very busy O'Faolain's bar. The first thing that we noticed... More
