KLP seeks would-be hostels for Barrow boost

Kilkenny LEADER Partnership (KLP) is looking for people interested in investing in hostel-style visitor accommodation close to the River Barrow, in a new initiative to boost rural tourism in Kilkenny.

Through the LEADER programme, KLP can significantly grant-aid property owners with eligible applications for either new-build development or adapting suitable properties in these areas.

Hostel-type accommodation in this context can include varieties of supervised, inexpensive accommodation for travellers and visitors.

All proposals should include a self-catering kitchen with informal dining amenities, adequate toilet and washing facilities and common social areas.
