The Garrandarragh Inn was one of the best surprises we had during our 17 day visit to Ireland. The Inn is an historic building but our room was modern and very well appointed. My wife got turned around in the hallway and must have looked lost. The owner of the hotel escorted her to the right room and talked with us for 20 minutes. Could not have been nicer.

Great Staff, Great Breakfasts, Nice place to stay
The staff at the Inn were wonderfully cheerful! Breakfasts were great, and the old part of the Inn was beautiful. There was a plumbing issue that necessitated us moving to another room for the second night of our stay. The rooms were big and comfortable.

The pub was cozy and inviting and the food was outstanding. Would book again in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed.

A perfect spot
We really enjoyed our stay. The welcoming was perfect. We ate our dinner in the restaurant. We really enjoyed it and were very sorry it was completely booked for the second night. The Internet said the other restaurants in town were closed but they weren't and there is a little Centra and it is on a bus route and close to walking trails. A great find after being in busy, noisy tourist spots.

This is a very quaint property that provided a wonderful nights stay for us on our trip to Ireland. The room was spacious with a lovely, updated bathroom. Mattress was quite firm (which I liked, but my husband did not!). Had an excellent dinner, breakfast and apple pie in the adjoining restaurant. Its a small little town and for us was convenient to our overall travel plans. Plenty of parking.

The staff went above the highest level of expectation to assure that our every need was met. The dining facility associated with the Inn was remarkable and kept the character of its age with delicious food. We returned to it a second night. The staff even helped us secure lodging for the next night when they did not have a vacancy. HIGHLY recommend for anyone traveling in south County Kilkenny, Ireland.

Fantastic room, great food and very friendly.
The room was superb, with a big walk in shower and toiletries supplied. There was a really comfortable table and chairs by the window which was lovely with the sun streaming on to it in the evening as I had some work to catch up on. Multiple sockets and USB charging points at convenient places around the room. Good WiFi with a private log in for each room. Plenty of tea and coffee available. The friendliest service I have ever encountered. I was there for two nights and the room had been cleaned and was immaculate when I returned in the evening. The substantial dinner in the evening was fresh and tasty. I really recommend this place. However, be aware that breakfast is not served until 9.00am. I was on a business trip so had to leave well before then which was disappointing because the breakfast had great reviews and judging by the evening meal I imagine they were accurate. There is also no guest lounge and as a single woman walking into the bar it felt a little like stepping back into the 1970s. The old boys seemed a little startled to see a woman on her own and were rather keen to make friends! Having said that, the Guinness was of course delicious and if I hadn't been going into dinner I would have been very comfortable relaxing in my room. Overall, not to be missed and recommended.

Kerry thank you for your review It was definitely the longest and most detailed it made great reading. Yes, you are correct 9 AM is too late for breakfast and I am now changing this to 8 AM.As an Archaeologist I thought you would recognise the pub for what it is and what we are so proud of its not 1970 you are stepping back to but 1644.Richard Hayes

If you’re looking for an authentic Irish experience, this is the place for you! The young ladies working the reception and bar / restaurant were the friendliest around. Local hospitality at its finest! There are a lot of quirks in the layout of the Inn and the rooms could use some updates, including newer beds, but the atmosphere and kindness made up for all of that.

By far, the nicest inn that we stayed in on our trip! The innkeeper and staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Being lovers of history and old homes, we were in awe over the beautiful stonework. The rooms were beautiful and the pub was magical….taking you back to the early 1600s when the inn was built. We can’t wait to go back!

Enjoyed our stay
Things we enjoyed: - the rooms are clean, modern, and well-maintained. - our bathroom/washroom was large and could hold multiple people at one time. - the A/C was a nice surprise - the food at the Inn was superb - the employees went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable in our rooms and enjoying the food and drinks in the pub. Things to be aware of: - we had booked this location primarily because one of the stated amenities was laundry service. Despite inquiring, I did not receive an answer as to whether we could wash our clothes. - the hallways of the inn and the check-in area are dated but the rooms are modern. Do not let this first impression fool you.
