Lovely heritage town, well kept with some nice eateries and pubs. Some nice walks to be had. Our stay wasn’t long enough to see everything so we will be back again. We had excellent coffee and scones in the Gallic Kitchen. Next time we look forward to sampling lunches

Magnificent staff who couldn’t do enough for you fab place to stay
Easy walking distance to Abbeyleix town,
I personally will stay here again without hesitation
Beautiful large house, perfect for a group get together in the lovely town of Abbeyleix. Everything is provided for in the house, beds are super comfy, lots of hot water, warm and cosy rooms, open fire, great cooking facilities. Abbeyleix has a delious bakery, very welcoming bars, plenty of food choice and a glorious bog walk. Ross tye host is very welcoming and happy to help with any request. We loved it and will be back.
The rooms are clean, beautiful, comfortable and well designed. The owners of Blackhill Woods are super welcoming and you feel right at home immediately! The gardens are the perfect place to sit and read a book, and the local town of Abbeyleix is only a 5 minute drive away. Breakfast is served to your room, with fresh fruit and gorgeous bread and yoghurt. I would highly recommend Blackhill to anyone.
Beautifully restored 300-year House full of history in the main street of Abbeyleix. A warm welcome from Ross and advice on where to go in the town for food. Our bedroom on the top floor was superb, full of old-world charm. The whole house is a walk back in time. Full kitchen available, and as there are only 5 rooms, it feels like you have the whole house to yourself. Can't wait to stay again.
Blackhill Woods is situated in a wooded site a few minutes from the lovely town of Abbeyleix. The wooded area is organic .... carefully maintained without disturbing the natural growth very much. Yoga classes take place daily.
Breakfast served to the room is delicious. Simon is a wonderful host, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable but in no way intrusive.
We received a lovely warm welcome by all the staff. The food was delicious. Lovely to have breakfast cooked to order. Very homely and cosy hotel. Had a great night's sleep in comfy room.
Pollys and Platform 77 are a great addition for a nice coffee after a relaxed walk in Abbeyleix bog which starts at the grounds of the hotel.
Will definitely be back.
A wonderful, small, cozy hotel with its own kitchen and outdoor area. Clean rooms and interior are pleasantly impressive. Special thanks for cleanliness and order in the kitchen! Friendly host and staff. We were in this hotel for the first time, but now we know that we will return there again. Thank you for the atmosphere and an amazing rest!
nice night away just prior to x mas
food lovely and desserts too compliments to Chloe who does the desserts.
bar staff waiting staff OK but maybe bit more interaction with customers as a recommendation...
cosy warm reception area and ideal from a night away with local bars near by also
The property was clean and tidy although the hotel could do with a refresh as the window in our room did not close properly so the noise level was high. The decor looks tired but overall very good. The staff were friendly and lovely with service/ food of an excellent standard.
Loved staying at Preston House. Preston House for me was the perfect refugee only a few blocks away from the beautiful center of Abbeyleix. Ross is an exceptional host, making his guests feel welcome
and at home. The building is stunning.
I liked everthing about Abbeyleix...that is why I booked a break there in former visits. Staff are exceptional, gracious, friendly, efficient; property is clean and well maintained, with an open fire already glowing for early breakfast !
This is a gorgeous location and the bed, surroundings, and the proprietor are all incredibly inviting and very comfortable and relaxing! This may be the best place I've stayed in all of Ireland and certainly through Booking.com.
Lovely House in a beautiful quiet location but just down the road from Abbeyleix which has amazing places to eat. Only a short stay but definitely recommend. Simon was a lovely host also. 🙏🏼
