WHY IT MATTERS

Why on-site accommodation suits a wedding in Kilkenny

Kilkenny's compact city and nearby country estates make on-site accommodation easy and appealing. Guests can stay within the medieval streets or out among the parkland, enjoy a late celebration, and explore the city and its gardens the next day, a weekend as much as a wedding.

With a medieval city, the River Nore and soft, well-kept countryside on the doorstep and Kilkenny about ninety minutes from Dublin on the M9, with direct rail to Kilkenny city, staying over lets guests enjoy the setting properly. It is the difference between a day out and a weekend away, and it takes the stress out of travel for everyone.
