Animal lovers won’t be able to resist Cullintra House, a cosy chocolate box 19th-century home in the Kilkenny heritage village of Inistioge. Host Patricia Cantlon’s charming, 250-year-old farmhouse features scenic walks, golf, fishing, crafts, historical sites and customer service par excellence – but you aren’t the most important guest at Cullintra; that title belongs to Patricia’s many cats! Your new feline friends have the run of the place, and you’ll even find cat memorabilia galore and little furries in the quaint bedrooms. There’s also an animal and bird sanctuary, and dog kennels for your own beloved pets, so that they can enjoy the lap of luxury too!
