About Us
Hello! We’re Majella and Michael Prendergast, and we’re truly delighted to welcome you to our Killure Cottages, nestled in the heart of County Kilkenny.
Here, you’ll find peace and relaxation, breathtaking views, and the perfect base to explore historic villages, vibrant towns, and the spectacular landscapes of Ireland’s Ancient East.
Since 1989, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting guests from all over the world in our two traditional cottages, The Barn and The Lodge. Both are part of our working family farm, proudly in our family since 1845, for five generations. We take great pride in what we’ve built—creating a place where our guests can enjoy an unforgettable and authentic Irish countryside experience.
Over the years, we’ve worked hard to ensure the highest standards of comfort and hospitality. Our cottages are fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Each year, we continue to improve and maintain our spaces, and we’re grateful to see our efforts reflected in the kind reviews left by our guests—on Airbnb and right here on our website.
Our greatest reward is knowing that you’ll leave Killure feeling refreshed, relaxed, and filled with incredible memories of this special corner of Ireland.
We are proud to share that we were awarded the ISCF Awards 2023 for Sustainability, sponsored by Tourism Ireland, in recognition of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality service to our guests.
We’re here to support you from the very beginning. If you have any questions or would like help planning your stay, don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’re always happy to help you organise your journey through County Kilkenny.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Killure as our guest.

"Wonderful!"
Wonderful secluded getaway within driving distance of many brilliant amenities. A genuinely lovely welcome from a very kind hostess.
"Highly recommend this 6-star property!"
Staying at Majella's house was a real pleasure. We truly appreciated the painstaking restoration work put into the handsome cut-stone building, and it was warm and comfortable, with thoughtfully stocked kitchen basics and breakfast foods. Majella and Michael are happy to share information about the area, much of which made the trip even more interesting. Ideally situated for exploring the river valley walks, Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford, but also perfect for total relaxation, we would highly recommend this 6-star property!
