My name is Margaret. I am the proud proprietor of the 'Billycan Guest Rooms'. I have 3 grown up children. I am greatly interested in local affairs and events. I have been a member and patron of the Kilkenny Music Festival. During the music competitions that are held, I have been the scorekeeper. I am also involved in fundraising for local charities.
I have a strong interest in supporting guests in seeing the beauty of Kilkenny. This includes local nature trails, sight-seeing the historic sites and the numerous local bars (for the craic!) and feast of award-winning restaurants (to fill your bellies!). I am always willing to provide my guests with information and direction to ensure they enjoy their stay as much as I love living in this wonderful city.
Kilkenny! Where to begin!
