Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

The hotel has private parking, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and check in was very smooth. We had three in our room; parents and one teenager. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served at your table by very professional staff. The room was amazing with a spectacular view of the perfectly groomed garden and Kilkenny Castle. The location made it easy to see all of the main sites within the townsite and is close to many great pubs and restaurants. A river walk is minutes away and there are plenty of quality shops. Highly recommend fish and chips at Matt the Millar's, just down the hill.

    Really great hotel for families. Staff are so helpful and kind with the children. Had a really lovely stay and the kids had a ball. Great that the hotel has a family room with amenities to sterilise bottles etc, really helpful when travelling with a baby. Lovely pool, great outdoor area for kids. Little things like free face painting and free cookies and milk at night for kids, and a live musician in the evenings outside the bar really add to the hotel as a family friendly destination.

    The hotel is very family friendly, which is great. The live music in the lobby was lovely to sit and relax with a drink. You can see they have upgraded their rooms. Having a mini fridge was great for drinks and snacks for my daughter. A great selection at breakfast from the buffet and the food at the hot counter too. Would definitely go back.

    Very family friendly hotel. Stayed for a short mid-week break with my husband and two children under four. The kids loved the indoor play room and the outdoor farm, playground and dinosaur experience. Room was spacious and excellent food for breakfast and dinner.
