We travelled as a family of 6 - 2 adults, 2 children plus x2 grandparents. We are familiar with the area, as we have family in Kilkenny and stay every year. Upon arrival we loved the central location and look of the farmhouse and there is lots of land for the children to play cricket and football. Upon entering, the farmhouse is very spacious, but we very soon noticed that it really was in need of a thorough deep clean. We appreciate that the property is very old, but we have stayed in older properties in Ireland & have not had an issue like this before. There was a lot of dust throughout and we felt like some spider webs had been there for a very long time. Even the children commented & they are usually oblivious to this type of thing! The kitchen had everything that you could require, but unfortunately the hob & oven were greasy and we also discovered that the coffee pot had mould growing in it, so could only conclude that the property had only been given a light touch of cleaning before our arrival. This was such as shame, as if it had been spotless, we would have most definitely been able to highly recommend. The guest house was slightly better & we actually used that kitchen to cook in, as the one in the main house, was just not up to a clean standard. This is the first low rating review that I have ever given and am saddened to have to do it, but need to be honest. The owners were great to deal with & like I mention above, the location is great. Please get someone in to give a real deep clean and then the property would be lovely. Thank you.
