OUR HOME IS AVAILABLE FOR POINTS 20-27TH APRIL 2019 - IF YOU HAVE POINTS TO SPEND AND WANT TO COME CONTACT US !!
Our home has recently been renovated to the highest design standards with internal music systems,all bedrooms en suite and a master wing with an extensive dressing room.It lies on 1 acre of gardens with a natural rock pool &stream, nestled in the beautiful, fresh countryside but only 10 mins from lively,vibrant Kilkenny city.
Kilkenny, the oldest medieval city in Ireland is steeped in history and boasts a stunning castle,charming alleyways, protected ancient buildings along with a cosmopolitan offering of atmospheric Irish pubs, gourmet restaurants and a lively music scene. Home to the famous Kilkenny beer (or "Smithwicks" as it is known locally) which is brewed here,Kilkenny is Ireland's most visited weekend location. See www.southeastireland.com for more.
Our house is situated in the quiet countryside near forest walks,fields,open spaces and public national parks. It is surrounded by trees, grass and hills, but is only a short 10 minute drive to the thriving city of Kilkenny where every amenity is catered for. A bounty of restaurants, pubs, music, theatre and art galleries, along with cultural, historic, medieval sights to see. Only 2 minutes from our home, across the fields you will find the famous and fabulous Dunmore Caves, an important Viking archaeological site.
We are happy to swap our car.
“We had a fantastic time at Michelle's family house in Kilkenny! What a beautiful, spacious house with a lovely established garden! My kids had the best time playing soccer and riding around on the go kart. We spent our time visiting the local area including the caves, Mount Juliet, Kilkenny, as well as going for nearby walks. We loved our time in Kilkenny!”
“We did not envision, even remotely, the beauty, the calm and the splendour that we were to find in Michelle's family home. The house itself is lavish and absolutely magnificent, everything is as tidy and as convenient as what you'd expect to find in a boutique hotel, only more beautiful! Everything that you could possibly need and more - is readily available. The backyard has a little pond and s stream that are simply paradisiacal, the surrounding countryside is spectacular, the people are friendly, what more can we say? It was heaven on earth. Frankly, the images on this website do not do it justice as it is much more splendid in real life. Michelle was the most gracious host, so nice in all her communications, and so helpful and full of ideas for our holiday. The icing on the cake for us was Tina the cat and Levi the dog, that are the sweetest, most beautiful (and well behaved) pets ever. We spend the best 11 days there and cannot wait to visit again! ”
We have been swapping since 2004 (perhaps 17 swaps now )and love it !! We like to immerse ourselves in the culture of the place we visit and pretend we are locals
