Glory Cottage was very spacious and accommodating for five people. This property is a good place if you plan on doing a bunch of day trips. The surroundings of the property are pretty and a great place to relax."

"Glory Cottage is perfect for a holiday in the Co. Kilkenny region. Its central location in Kells enabled us to travel north, south, east and west through south-east Ireland. The cottage is so well equipped. We have stayed in a lot of self-catering accommodation in Europe and the US and Glory Cottage has the most comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water and a great shower head. The wood heater certainly warmed the whole house and the lounge was still warm in the morning. The cottage is next to the river and has a large deck on the back which would be delightful on a summer day. We were able to watch a beautiful full moon rise over the surrounding fields. We did have a little trouble with the wi-fi but otherwise were thoroughly happy."
