“Wonderful B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in Riverville House in Kenmare earlier this week and it was a charming stay - the B&B was wonderful, enjoys a great location just a short stroll from Kenmare town centre. Margaret our host was wonderful and cooked a super breakfast on both mornings. Most of all, Riverville House was excellent value for money. We'll certainly be back! Thank you Margaret for your hospitality!

“Top Notch B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

Beautiful and clean home set within colorful flower garden conveniently located within easy walking distance of downtown Kenmare. Both Margret and Fergus, being classically trained chefs, set a very tasty and artistic breakfast table. They provide access to a computer with high speed internet and even helped me solve a flat tire problem. We highly recommend their B&B.

“One of the very best in Ireland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2008

I stayed with Margaret in 2007 as well and was more than happy to stay there again this year when the Traditional Music Festval for Munster was held there. (The Fleadh). As previously, the room was well adequate for a single traveller, and I didn't mind the view of the car park! Kenmare is a lovely place to stay and Margaret is a superb hostess and great to chat to.
Sadly, Ireland's overall economy is well overheated and value for money is not as good as it was a few years ago. Nonetheless, if I were to be visiting Ireland again, Riverville House is where I would stay. The rooms are clean, the food is brilliant the welcome as warm as ever. Go there - you will not be disappointed!

Two years ago I stayed with Margaret at Riverville House. I enjoyed the stay so much that my friend and I booked another night this fall, while driving the Beara Peninsula. Margaret is absolutely a gem, and her home is lovely and spotless. The surroundings make you feel like you have just come home. Give yourself a treat, and stay at Riverville while in Kenmare.

“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2008

We stayed for 2 nights with Margaret and Fergus at Riverville House and had a pleasant stay. The house is well located, only a few minutes walk from town, but very quietly situated. We were offered tea and biscuits when we arrived, and they will make you a pot of tea on request, as there are no facilities to make drinks in the rooms. Our room was a good size, but didn't have much of a view. I believe those at the front have good views. The bathrooms are compact but have all you need. There are no TVs in the room which didn't bother us, but might not suit everyone. You can access the internet and your emails on the computer in the sitting room , where a television is also availabe. Breakfast was very nice indeed,(Fergus is a trained chef) and nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. We know the area well, so didn't need advice on things to do, but we did get some suggestions on places to eat in town which were useful. We would stay here again.

  • Liked — Location and hosts
  • Disliked — Lack of view from room.
