Only five minutes from the medieval city of
Kilkenny, Blanchville House offers a choice of bed & breakfast
or self-catering accommodation. An elegant
Georgian residence set in the heart of rich farmland, the
house was built in 1800 and has been lovingly restored by
Tim and Monica Phelan over the past 25 years. They
have been
careful to retain original features such as the
wallpaper in the drawing room, which has been in place since
1823, and the wonderful original gilded curtain pelmets
bearing the coat of arms of the Kearney family who built the house.
The spacious rooms are bright and furnished to give
an air of elegance and relaxation. Bed & breakfast guests
stay in the main house where there are six
well-appointed bedrooms, each with its own individual character and
private bathroom. Guests have the use of a drawing room with
a real fire and breakfast is served in the gracious dining
room evening meals are available by arrangement. For those
who prefer self-catering, the delightful Victorian coach house
has been sensitively converted to provide four very
comfortable units, each sleeping from four to six people.
