    About 10 minutes drive from central Kilkenny, this is a great little B&B with friendly owners. Give the homemade jam a try at breakfast!

Company info

Hello my name is Ger Glynn, along with my wife Mary we own and operate Twin Oaks Bed and Breakfast. We started in 1995 and since that time our lives have been so enhanced by all the wonderful and interesting people we have had staying with us here at Twin Oaks

Property info

We are close to the Historic Kells Priory situated in the village of Kells 4 miles (6km) south from Twin Oaks. The building is situated by the banks of the Kings river once used to service an old mill that is now obsolete but still in existance.

Neighborhood info

We live in a rural landscape yet we are just 7 minutes by car from the medieval city of Kilkenny. We are placed between Mount Leinster to the east and Sliabh Na Mban ( mountain of the women) to the south west. Both approx 30 miles ( 45 kms)from our position. The land is rich agricultural land. In the summer beautiful fields of golden wheat surround us , depending on crop rotation. We are not farmers, but we have a keen interest in gardening. 4 miles from our house is situated the picturesque village of Kells , with its ancient Kells Priory and adjoining mills. Once the home of monks centuries ago it is still an impressive building that is maintained by the Bord of Works.
