    Glendine Inn felt like a real authentic Kilkenny stay. From the locals in the pub, to the Hurling championship memorabilia, to the staff and service - everything was excellent! Public transport is available however I chose to walk everywhere as it’s a small city with plenty of beauty to see. Highly recommend this accomodation and Kilkenny!
