08/10/2025: This is a wonderful little stop for food. Friendly service was a great plus as well.

26/09/2025: Good food. Nice present staff.

13/10/2025: We have been going to the Orchard for the past number of years and love it!! The service is usually very good and food is fantastic especially the fajitas and roasts. They seem to have changed the menu in the past few weeks and the chicken wrap is no longer on it... it was lovely, slightly disappointed with that. I would recommend them bringing it back as it was delicious.

08/10/2025: We had a veggie fajita to share and it was probably one of the nicest I've ever had.

17/08/2025: ¡Te sientes como en Portugal! Si echas de menos casa o vacaciones o simplemente una prueba de la cocina mediterránea (como la cocina casera) experiencia muy pura. Una necesidad si estás en pollo (supera a Nando’s) selección más natural de pollo y menos añadir ons. Excelente pescado a la parrilla. Y sopa. Joya oculta que debo decir

16/09/2025: If you like it loud, this is the place for you! It was a Friday afternoon. There were only about six men in the bar, but the volume of their conversation was unbelievable. The ambiance was a typical pub.

22/08/2025: This is THE BEST pub in Kilkenny for live music and the people! I have been there EVERY time (6 times) I've been to Ireland in the last 2 1/2 years! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Location perfect, just mins from thomastown . Our dog is still in a trance ( farmhouse life) thanks again Caroline

20/07/2025: We are just back from a return visit to Legan Castle and the five star hospitality that Caroline offers. This time we booked the entire farmhouse and stayed with my family and baby. Caroline is a world class host. From the luxurious bedroom and bathrooms, high end kitchen appliances and equipment, tasteful decor and “country cottage” feel to the stunning gardens and incredible hot tub - it’s really everything you could ask for in a comfortable relaxing trip with family. Caroline is so accomodating and welcoming and always a quick message away from answering any questions. The flower arrangements from her own garden and fridge stocked with essentials were a fantastic touch. Do not hesitate to book, you won’t regret it!
