County Kilkenny

We are heading to Ireland & I have heard of people having a traditional irish dinner with a host family (not accommodations), just dinner to experience the culture. Has anyone done this & where might I find a host family for a dinner? Thank you!

I've been searching travel options from Ennis to Kilkenny, and keep coming up short. Does anyone have a recommendation on car, train, or bus between these two towns? Or perhaps a good website? Please please please!

Can you take a train or a bus from Limerick to Kilkenny ?

Hi, my friend and I plan to travel from Kilkenny to Dingle. We will NOT be renting a car. We will stay 1 night in Kilkenny and next morning go to Rock of Cashel and then onto Dingle. I am hoping there is a bus that goes to Rock of Cashel from Kilkenny. However, I don't know if we should return to Kilkenny to take a train to Tralee, or maybe Killarney? And then bus into Dingle from either of these two cities? Or, is there a bus from Cashel into Dingle? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Did anybody try Lanigan's Bar for the live music on Sunday afternoons? We will be in Kilkenny with a group of 20 seniors and are looking for live music but also for good food. Thanks for your reply!

bus times from kilkenny to carlow

I read somewhere that there is a bus from Cashel to Kilkenny, but I can't find any information regarding how many busses per day and at what time they run. Please, can anyone give me info? I have tried Buseireann, but cannot find it any which way. Thank yo so much.

Whwere does the tour begin and what rooms are covered.

Hi -we're looking at booking a package from the U.S. that'll be going to Killarney (4 nights) and Kilkenny (3 nights) but not signing up for any of the additional day tours in favor of doing all of our sightseeing on our own. Hate the tours - they herd you through too much. in too short a time, with too many people! Anyway, we'll only have two full days in Kilkenny and I figure we'd take one to explore the town, and I'd like to spend the second day in Dublin. I'd like to go by rail as it's probably fastest. Has anyone done this, is it difficult to figure out, and will we have enough time to hit the high spots of Dublin? I figure it may take and hour and a half or so to get there? Am looking at first train out - probably last train back. Appreciate any advice/insight you could throw my way!!

We are traveling to Ireland in May and will be taking the Rail from city to city. We want to stay in Kilkenny and go to Waterford City for the day. Is there a tour or some other way to get there other than by Rail? Also, any suggestions on places to stay and eat? Thanks, Val

I was in Kilkenny back in June of 2006. I went to the Pump House. I saw a group there that played some traditonal Irish music. I wanted to find out the name of the group and how I could purchase one of their cd's. I am pretty sure I was there either June 28 or 29. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Scott

I would like to know if there are tours available for the brewery that makes Kilkenny beer and if so, what hours of the day the tours are available. Thank you!!

Hi, I'm planning to visit Kilkenny on August, but I don't know how to get there. We will be coming from Ennis. I've checked http://www.buseireann.ie/ but I don't find any way to get to Kilkenny. Any idea, please? And, how long would the travel be? Thank you so much!! Natalia.

Hi everyone, I will spent the whole summer in Kilkenny, from June to September. I just wanted to ask a few questions about living there. Has anybody some tips to find a studio flat or a sharing for this period? Do you know some places where I could stay during my first days there (hotel or B&B. What are the average prices of them?). I will work in the Industrial & Business Park (Purcellsinch). Is it far from the center or not? Are there any bus services which lead to this area? I will welcome any comment or tip which could help me to spend a good summer! Thanks a lot! Manu.

We are headed to Cork next week but I would like to stop part way to spend one night (my birthday!) in the Kilkenny area. I would like to stay in a country house type place or perhaps a farmhouse, preferably someplace that does really nice meals (or isn't too far from a good restaurant). Any ideas? I have found a few places but they are either really expensive (we would prefer not to spend more than EUR50 each) or they require a minimum 2 nights. Many thanks Jane

8 of us will be staying in Kilkenny (again)at the end of April. We are playing at Kilkenny, Carlow, and Clonmell. We are looking for a course to play on the way down from Dun Learey (sorry about the spelling, its late) while travelling to Kilkenny and also one when returning back to the ferry. Are there any golfers out there with any suggestions or maybe members that might be able to play with us at their home course. Thanks Geoff
