We visited by chance and were surprised that the house was actually away from the mainroad and that it was very quiet indeed. Beatiful garden and very friendly foljs running the B&B. read more

My husband and I we fortunate enough to find this location on B&B Ireland. We only stayed one night…read moredue to our itinerary but it was a day and night to be remembered. The view from the property is unbelievable. The hosts are the most kind and gracious people. We we're traveling using public transport only and Susan and Desmond were so helpful, looking up schedules, locating the best boarding spots, and even going to far as to give us a lift into Waterford to further verify our transportation options. Our room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Ireland. Susan even makes her own vegan sausage. if you ever find yourself in Irelands southeast coast, you should go out of your way to stay at Samuel's Heritage. You won't regret it.
We stayed here for a night during the holidays. The property was clean and up to date, but it felt…read moremore like a small hotel than a bed and breakfast. The rooms were separated by a dark hallway from the main part of the property. Some people might like this as they are able to enter from the parking lot without having to come through the entrance. The reason why I am giving Samuels Heritage two stars is because upon our arrival, rather that being thanked for booking with them, we were lectured by Susan on how we should have book directly through her rather than through Hotels.com. After a long day of driving and looking forward to relaxing, it was inappropriate and tacky to for her to question our role as consumers with regard our travel decisions. Hotels.com lead us to discover the Samuels Heritage in the first place (for as much as we travel, we earn free nights). It made our stay feel awkward. On the plus side, breakfast was good -- the salmon and eggs were excellent and the scones were perfect. Desmond, Susan's husband, is a really nice guy. The eggs used were freshly collected from their chickens on site. He was out in the pouring rain, gathering eggs for the day's breakfast service. The dining room was warm and inviting.

The servers studiously avoid making eye contact to see if you want anything else. We were out all day except from about 2:30-4:30 and left the service sign on our room the whole time we were out -- it was never serviced. Ok but for this price you should demand better. This is essentially a three star hotel.

And, wow!... the breakfasts are outstanding, and so beautifully presented. But what made this place truly special are the kind and caring people who worked there. We really enjoyed getting to know them, and their stories. Our favorite places for dinner and within walking distance were: Rive Gauche, Rinoccini, Zuni, and Petronelli. Enjoyed a private walking tour by Pat Moylan, Kilkenny Walking Tour that the Butler house lined up for us. Pat is truly passionate about the history of Kilkenny, and we learned so much! And, Waterford was a quick day trip by train. Highly recommend the walking tour by Jack Burtchaell (meet at the Granville Hotel).

If I could give more stars, I absolutely would. You will never find a better experience (all…read morearound) than this breathtaking place. My husband and I had a travel agent book us this amazing place in 2015. I fell in love with it so much I came back with my best friend in 2017. It's a very reasonably priced place for everything you endure here. It's a restored little castle that you are encouraged to explore during your stay. It's located on a farm that you are welcome to collect eggs, milk cows and pet the animals (optional). The inside of this place is something out of a Victorian dream or something you see in a movie. Very exquisite interior, sparkly clean, spacious rooms, cozy and comfortable. Water is provided in your rooms, outside food or drink is not accepted (understandably). It's a completely divine experience you will never forget. The hosts are wonderful and deliver such heartfelt hospitality. In the mornings they go above and beyond for a breakfast, milk and cheese made on their farm. They have a lovely menu you are sure to want more. The first time I stayed here, my husband and I were the only ones on the entire facility. The staff had a huge presentation of a delicious breakfast buffet, I was blown away. I had the exact same experience the second time with two other families and it was lovely. I truly can't express enough how much I love this place, I would move here and work here in a heartbeat. I want so much for everyone to enjoy what I can only dream of. I've traveled a handful of countries and many places in the US, I have never had a move gorgeous memory. Thank you so much to the incredible staff here, you guys are such a blessing to my life.

Great location, good breakfast, with a very accommodating hostess, Bridge View B&B should be at the…read moretop of your list for accommodations in Kilkenny. I have to admit that a little bit of the five stars I'm going to give Bridge View B&B is because I was somewhat of a rude guest, in that I arrived over an hour late after getting side tracked driving across Ireland then having my rental car locked in the parking deck across from Smithwick's Brewery (that one closes at 6PM - the 11PM one is up the street). Despite all of this, our hostess Eimear accommodated our tardiness and was very pleasant throughout the whole experience. That's reason enough to book this homey B&B, with the comfortable rooms and ideal location (along with metered parking nearby). The B&B sits right on the River Nore minutes away from a very convenient pedestrian bridge to downtown Kilkenny. The rooms are modest, with comfortable double beds and private bathrooms. The breakfast is delicious and made to order from the menu at the tables. Very much a mom and pop vibe, as Eimear made our breakfast (her husband is a musician we heard play at the Kyteler's Inn the night before - a small world indeed). The place is cash only, so be sure to have enough for your stay - if not, there are ATMs across the aforementioned pedestrian bridge. Overall, when I come back to Kilkenny I'm coming back to Bridge View B&B, and I promise this time not to be so late.

While all of that was great, the hosts really made us feel at home. They engaged us in conversation, gave us a true sense of life in Wales, took care of our every need, and did all of the little things that really made us feel at home. Cheers to them.

The golf course is expansive and there is the hotel house, pro shop, clubhouse, cocktail lounge, and formal restaurant on site. When checking into our rooms, we quickly realized that we were not in the correct rooms per our reservation. We had a golf course view rather than garden view and bed sizes were incorrect. Management was not able to do anything till the following day but accommodated our group for the error with a comped 3 course dinner and drinks in the formal dining room. The food between dinner and breakfast was some of the best we've tried on the trip thus far for flavor. Drinks were also made extremely well and the hotel offers free live music in the lounge every other day from 9:30 - 11:30pm. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully historical. The bathrooms appeared to be updated in opposition to the rooms. Note that all rooms do not have air conditioning but they supply each room with a fan and certain windows can open. Golfing didn't start till around 8am so noise wasn't an issue in the mornings. The drive into town was about 20-25 minutes and ubers/taxi rides were about 20-26 euros to get there. Overall, we had a tough start to our experience but they did take care of us, the grounds were beautiful, and it was wonderful staying somewhere that was historical.

The room itself had a wonderful view and was so cute and homey. The whole house is decorated very nicely and has dried flowers all over. This is a very historical home with an abandoned castle on its grounds, which you can explore at your leisure. In the sitting room was a book about the history of the castle and how it came to its current state.

The next thing we noticed was the stained carpet and the noise coming from outside of the window. Once we use the bathroom, we saw that the sink was not draining and in the shower the water was so hot that you couldn't use it without burning yourself. When went downstairs to complain and to ask for a different room, we were told that there was none available and that we would have to wait till the next day. We were also told that the noise outside the window was coming from a kitchen fan and that it would stop momentarily. This was not true and the noise continued throughout the night. The manager was barely apologetic and did not offer us a discount on the room or even to buy us breakfast the next morning. Overall, I think this could have been handled much better. We were given a better room the next day. Although we ended up staying for the next few days, I would not recommend this hotel again. If you're hoping for a river view, you probably won't get it as most windows do not face out that way. Instead, you will probably end up with a view of the roof and equipment. The food in the restaurant was actually very good. You can tell that their main focus is special events, like weddings, as they were constantly busy. If you're ever offered room 103, I suggest that you pass as that room is noisy, smells and does not offer Air Conditioning in the summer.

The manager took the complete hump and left and answer that was nothing short of a child's tantrum pointing out to how great they are. Ignoring of course the points that I made that the photography of the pool is very creative. Seriously smaller and the jacuzzi is minute. A bit like a father ted episode, small - far away - big - up close ........... The wedding was fine, totally staffed by teenagers or college kids so you get the picture. Sunday, a bloody disaster. A crazed frenzy of dried out carvery and 'the Alamo" dear God, Davy Crocket is turning in his grave. Screaming kids everywhere running riot over the hotel. I met them in the lift, the halls, and everywhere. Food I ordered was wrong. Breakfast - I didn't bother, but reports back from family was that they were out of everything and closed earlier than supposed to and had a ridiculously early closing breakfast on a weekend to start with. Staff were nice but check-in was a disaster. So as the manager stated they wedding party called to say how happy there were. I can guarantee, I am related to this wedding party, they would be happy in a tent in Mosney, in fact that would be upscale for them. So if your standards are low then you will not be disappointed, and if you are as delusional as the manager then possibly you will think you hit the jackpot. However if you are a normal well balanced human being and are looking for a decent 4* hotel, this is not it.
