The studios are all in the main house. We had a 2BR which was in the coach house when we traded in thorugh DAE. I would have prefered the main house for the ambiance generally but did not see inside the units there. We did talk to some South Africans who had also traded in through DAE who had a 1BR in the main house and they were well satisfied.
The resort is not far from the Dublin to Waterford motorway, so it is an easy drive to get to it. It is also close to the major town of Kilkenney, which has a medieval center and a castle and all the shops you could possibly want. There is a village even closer with a large grocery store. To travel to Dublin for a day trip visit, we used the train to avoid Dublin parking. We parked at a nearby village for free at the train station.
