Depending on which part of Kilkenny you are staying in you may be interested in Borris House.

Where did you hear that? Do you just mean the equestrian side of the business? Because Borris House is very much open for business for weddings, events, etc. I was at an event there recently.

It's on their equine trails website

The equine part of it has closed

Yes Equine Trails is definitely closed. They announced it on facebook a few weeks ago.

It was run by different people to Borris House.

Yes, to add to the others, Borris no longer has the Equine Trails, sadly. Will you be looking to hire horses?

Just wanted to clarify that it was the equestrian side of things, and not Borris House itself (just in case we have angry owners coming after us! :pac:)

If you are in Kilkenny would it be too far to go to Crossogue?
