An orchard of Apple, Plum, Pear and Cherry trees is being developed with many rare old varieties native to Kilkenny. This we hope will provide enough fruit to let us produce our own cider and jam.

Use is also made of the wild produce from the Hedgerow and the surrounding woods. Pheasant and Rabbit are in abundance and even the humble Nettle is put to use in the making of delicious Nettle Beer.

Pheasants often drop by from Castle Morres next door to share the Chicken and Duck' meals.

Good walking, riding, river trips, fishing and championship golf are all available to our guests nearby. Many of Ireland's most interesting cities are an easy day’s trip. Shops, pubs and restaurant 2 miles. 

Croan is in the south of County Kilkenny and this lovely area is rich in places of interest to visit, including the Castlemorres Demesne (virtually next door), medieval Kilkenny City (15 miles) with its historic castle, and the beautiful monastic settlements of Jerpoint Abbey (3 miles) and Kells Priory (3 miles). There is a craft workshop trail to explore and Waterford Crystal is 20 miles away.

There are more details about some of these sites here but we'll be glad to provide detailed day trip itineraries to you on arrival.
