Kilgraney House is a charming late Georgian house overlooking the Barrow Valley, situated halfway between Carlow Town and Kilkenny City. The house takes its name from the Irish "cill greine" which means "sunny hill" or "sunny wood".

Kilgraney House has seen many changes over the centuries, the main house was built around 1820 although the north wing is thought to be mid-18th century. Now carefully restored, the house has great character and a simple elegance that's full of irony and excitement. The lush interiors are an eclectic mix of traditional furniture with carefully chosen pieces of fabric, furniture and art from around the world.

There are six stylish and comfortable guest bedrooms, each furnished and decorated in its own unique style. All bedrooms have en-suite bathroom facilities and are non-smoking.

The cooking at Kilgraney is modern and imaginative, with generous flavours and influences from abroad, using home grown fruits, herbs and vegetables. Dinner, served in a cherub adorned dining room, is a lavish six course meal offering a choice of main courses and desserts. Breakfast, served in the morning room, offers both traditional and healthy options.

Wooded and secluded gardens, with wide lawns, shrubs and orchards, provide a serene and peaceful setting for the house. Experience the peace of the countryside with beautiful walks along the River Barrow and the South Leinster Way walking routes. Altamont Gardens, the medieval city of Kilkenny, Mount Juliet and the Kilkenny Craft Trail are all located close by as are cycling, golf, fishing, tennis, swimming and horse riding.
