We had booked for a 10-day stay. The house is absolutely beautiful, gracious, stately, and oh so comfortable. The kitchen is very well appointed with anything you would need to cook. We are already talking about booking again next year. The owner and host is delightful and very accommodating and helpful. I cannot recommend it enough.
I never thought it was possible to have a place be grand at the same time as it was inviting, comfortable, and cozy until we stayed at Kill House. Jackie the owner welcomed us and it was clear from her description that it was a family friendly place and our young children were completely at home. The floors were heated and we were warm and cozy the whole time. The kitchen and bedrooms were very large as were the grounds. The character, restoration and furnishings of this historic home we’re stunning. The location was perfect for jumping off to all places on the eastern half of the Connemara loop for half day trips. We would tell anybody and everybody to visit this unique property.
