The location was very close to the city center. It was easy to park, although you have to repurchase a parking ticket every day before 09:00. Not a problem for early birds offcourse. Parkings costs were fair, I believe € 2,00 per day. There were free spaces all the time.

This place is just magical. The host really made us feel most welcome in her space. The whole area is just gorgeous, like stepping into a fairy tale, waking up to those views, and the sound of nature was out of this world. The host left us fresh scones, jam, coffee, milk and tea. Everything was sparkling clean. It's really close to the city, but you still get all the advantages of being out in nature. The hosts were really understanding as well, when my little brother accidentally knocked over one of their lamps. If you are looking for an amazing place to relax and unwind, this is it!

An absolutely gorgeous little apartment with everything you need. The decor was beautiful and very well organised to make the most of the space. The bed was a so comfortable with a lovely soft throw for added comfort. There's even a patio with table and chairs for your morning coffee in the sunshine! Our dog loved it too. 🐶We would highly recommend the Cosy Nest! Perfect location in a very nice area of Kilkenny.
