Longbowe nestles amidst peaceful countryside on a farm with deer, sheep and horses, close to the River Nore, and is just 0.5 miles from the medieval town of Kilkenny. This unique retreat has been designed to maximise views and sunlight and consists of 3 grass-roofed ’living pods’ linked by a corridor. Beautifully furnished and decorated in shades inspired by the outdoors, this house has solid oak and marble floors, and has been designed to be light and airy yet cosy at the same time. Kilkenny has a magnificent castle, a wealth of craft shops and a train service to Dublin. Golf, riding and fishing are available locally and this is a good base for touring in Waterford, Wexford and Tipperary.
