If I could give this place six stars, I would. Mark and Maggie, the location, and above all the property itself were all spectacular. It’s a restored priest’s house with character for days, and all the appliances worked as advertised. Don’t expect much in the way of food from Inistioge, but Thomastown (5-10min) has great options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and pints—both sit down and takeaway. Short drive to lots of great attractions (Jerpoint, Kilkenny); Inistioge is lovely, as is the surrounding country.
But mostly the property is just outstanding. Beautiful, secluded, and lots of great little quiet spots all over the huge garden. And the hosts couldn’t be more wonderful. All around, absolutely magical place to stay.
