Butler House & Garden Special Offers

Elegant Escapes at a Moment’s Notice

Some of the best getaways are the ones you didn’t plan too far in advance. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend, a midweek refresh, or simply an excuse to escape the routine, our last-minute offers invite you to enjoy a stay at Butler House & Garden, tucked within the historic Kilkenny Castle Demesne. 

Set within the Kilkenny Castle Demesne, Butler House & Garden offers a unique stay in one of the city’s most historic and charming settings. Once the Georgian dower house of the Kilkenny Castle, the building has been carefully restored, preserving its original features, from sweeping staircases to sash windows, while adding all the comforts of a contemporary boutique stay.

Step into the elegance of our Georgian townhouse, where original period features meet modern design, all just a few steps from the Castle itself. With individually styled rooms, warm hospitality, and views over beautifully kept walled gardens, a last-minute stay here feels anything but rushed. Each bedroom blends antique charm with thoughtful luxury. Some rooms overlook the secluded gardens, while others offer glimpses of Kilkenny Castle or the rooftops of the Medieval Mile, a view that never fails to impress.

Whether you’re arriving with plans or simply seeing where the moment takes you, Butler House offers the perfect balance of history, comfort and character.
