    We had absolutely no idea how to pronounce the name of this lovely little village until we arrived. Even after a couple of days there, it was still a challenge, but what a lovely place. We rented the Weavers Cottage, which was very comfortable. It was only a short walk to the shops, restaurants and pubs. Mary, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and some great recommendations on local spots. The cottage was well appointed, and the fridge and cupboards were stocked. We also had a convenience store right beside us. Since it was Saturday night, the town was busy. We stopped in at a couple of pubs and then had dinner at a nice restaurant. We found a pub with live music after dinner, it was packed and we stayed for a set of rock music. It was packed with a younger crowd so people watching was great. The next day, we drove into Kilkenny and visited the castle. We had a nice lunch on the river and picked up a few supplies before heading back to Graiguenamanagh. We visited the pubs again, then picked up takeout and spent the evening in the cottage. The drive to and from Kilkenny was a highlight of our time here. The country roads were just magical.Leggi altro
