Description:
Blanchville Country House and Coach Yard is located in the heart of rich farmland just 5 minutes from Kilkenny city. Built in 1800, Blanchville House has been lovingly restored by Tim and Monica Phelan and offers guests elegant Country House Bed & Breakfast Accommodation in six luxurious guest rooms all with private bathrooms.
Or for those who prefer to come and go at their own pace, Self Catering Accommodation may suit best. Blanchville's original stone Coach Yard has been sensitively converted to provide three very comfortable self-catering holiday homes to rent. Two holiday homes sleep 5/6 guests and the third, The Gardener's Cottage sleeps 3/4 guests. It is also possible to Rent the whole of Blanchville House and/or the Coach Yard exclusively.
The Coach Yard is also home to 'The Sanctuary at Blanchville', our on site Therapy Centre, which offers guests and day visitors a wide choice of special treatments to help you unwind and de-stress.
The magnificent ballroom in Blanchville House has been brought to life as the venue for innovative Art Therapy Courses run by Marie Perret who has created Art Synthesis, an innovative approach to freeing creative potential & life energy.
Kilkenny and the surrounding region offers guests a wealth of activities and interesting places to visit. With easy driving access to Ferry Terminals and Airports Blanchville is the perfect destination for a holiday in the south-east of Ireland.
Blanchville House is also available to rent exclusively. This type of Whole House Rental is particularly suitable for small groups of up to 16 - 20 people where guests can relax in elegant surrounds safe in the knowledge that their special holiday break isn't going to be interupted.
The proportions of the rooms within this beautiful period property are ideal for Private Parties where large groups of guests can be seated around the magnificent dining table and have the freedom to wander around and enjoy the other elegant reception rooms. Concessions to the period character of the house have been made to ensure the house is warm, comfortable and a delight to stay in ... you can be assured that there are no cold draughty rooms at Blanchville.
As well as the obvious charms of such a beautiful period property, Blanchville also offers guests a great deal of versatility. There really is something for everyone in the area - golf, horse riding, fishing and other country sports.
House Party Breaks for groups of friends are very popular with the option to make your stay as relaxed or as action packed as you like. Our facilities offer a more sophisticated alternative for Hen Weekends where our on-site Sanctuary Therapy Centre is just perfect for a Pampering Break. The many quality craft outlets and shops in the area ensures Blanchville is ideal for a girls holiday break in the Kilkenny region.
One of the last rooms in Blanchville to have undergone restoration is our magnificent Ballroom which has been given a new lease of life as the venue for our innovative Art Therapy courses ... groups of guests can Explore and Develop their Creativity whilst staying at Blanchville.
