Nice b&b but to cold

The House was very nice. When we arrived the house was very cold. The rooms were very cold.

8/10 Very good

David is a wonderful host. He is very friendly and had lots of helpful information about Kilkenny. Breakfast was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying at Launard House. I would offer a few heads up. The house is in need of some touch-up. The water heater is limited, so showers need to be short. We had problems getting the toilet to flush. They do have washcloths, which was very unusual, and there were plenty of towels in the bathroom. Plus, there was a top sheet on the bed, which was also unusual and very much appreciated.
Suzanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

First off, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Really made us feel welcome in the space. The breakfast was great and we had lots of options on the menu to choose from. The room itself was small but the beds were comfortable and the natural light was nice. The bathroom was a bit of a problem — The shower was very small and there was a restriction on how long a shower we could take because it was solar-powered hot water. The water never really got hot, just warm, unfortunately. As well, the toilet in the room flushed strangely and we struggled to figure out how to get it to work at all. That was a challenge. The free WiFi did not work the entire first evening/night we arrived on any of our devices (including other guests we spoke to over breakfast) and was consistently spotty and dropping in and out the whole time we were there. Very slow when connected and often fell off. Not a good place if you won't have data or need WiFi for work. The b&b is a bit far away from the city which made walkability a bit of a challenge if you're not interested in a 30 minute walk just to get there. Would consider driving from accommodation or picking a more centralized hotel next time.

4/10 Fair

Litt under gjennomsnittet

Vi kom tidlkg og fikk parkert bilen. Veldig hyggelig eier. Opppslag på badet om maks 5 min i dusjen er litt underlig. Ikke spesielt rent og pent på badet. Sengen var ikke spesielt behagelig, så det ble lite søvn. Veldig lytt til de andre rommene. Bra frokost og pent område.
