    David runs a top-notch establishment! We found him to be very outgoing, efficient and full of good local information. Launard House is a decent walk (10-15 minutes) from downtown Kilkenny; we took his advice and had dinner at Kyteler's Inn...

    This is a beautiful house with a great host in the perfect location to explore Kilkenny. The room was a nice size with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was great in a large room where we met several fellow travelers. Great place, great, price, great...
