At Butler House, we know that a break away just isn’t the same without every member of the family, and that includes your dog. So next time you’re planning a trip to Kilkenny, there’s no need to leave your beloved pet behind. We’re delighted to offer a small number of dog-friendly rooms right here in the main house, available by prior arrangement.
Settle into elegant comfort with a French-style queen bed, cosy seating for two, and thoughtful touches throughout. For your dog, we provide a comfortable bed base (just bring their own bedding), some tasty treats, and even a welcome toy to help them settle in. It's a stay where both you and your furry friend can feel right at home.
Our dog-friendly bedrooms open directly onto the walled garden, so stepping outside for a stroll is as easy as opening the door. With Kilkenny Castle Park’s 50 acres of green space nearby, and the scenic River Walk just down the road, there’s plenty to keep those tails wagging.
You'll also find a warm welcome from our team, all dog lovers themselves who are always happy to recommend their favourite walks or quiet spots around the city. After your adventures, relax with your dog in our Reception Lounge, where drinks and light dishes from our Garden View Menu can be served fireside in plush armchairs.
This bespoke dog-friendly experience is available exclusively when you book direct with us. It is not available to book online. To enquire or reserve your dog’s place in our historic home, please contact us directly at:
