This modern house about 5 miles outside of Kinsale is a little difficult to find, but it has comfortable rooms and excellent breakfasts. There is free wifi in the lounge (which is closed in the evenings when the family uses it.) The bedrooms are large by Irish standards but the shower is small. Very good beds and linens. The owners...

After a long day of driving, the owners were gracious and accommodating upon our delayed arrival. The room provided a wonderful night's rest, and we enjoyed a spectacular homemade breakfast. Claire offered helpful guidance as we continued our tour of Ireland. Rivermount House offers a beautiful view overlooking Kinsale. This is a place I would be sure to visit again! More

My husband and I stayed here for one night while in Kinsale. It is a beautiful home with a beautiful view. The inside is newly renovated with contemporary furnishings. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent and the owners friendly. A little ways out of the town of Kinsale but worth the drive. More

Stayed for two nights in Rivermount House with hubby and 2 young children (6 and 4 years). When walking through the front door my 6 year old said "wow, now this is nice" and I couldn't agree more as it looks like something out of the pages of an interior magazine. Claire couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful from... More

The best way to describe Rivermount House is to say that it's the B&B equivalent of the Ritz-Carlton. The rooms are FAR superior to a normal B&B, more like the Ritz. The breakfasts are just amazing; Gourmet. The price is reasonable and the owners and staff welcoming. There is a very nice sitting room with computer. Large parking lot by... More

Wow! I thought I'd walked into a show house for an interior design magazine when I stepped through the front door. This is probably the most stylish b&b I've yet visited in Ireland. Our en-suite triple bedroom was spacious (see photos) and comfortable, decorated in neutral shades with red highlights. Two single beds were located in the main part of... More

We stayed two nights at Rivermount House towards the end of October, which is at the end of the tourist season. When we arrived at the B&B, we were informed by our hostess that she had "checked out" for the year. While I can certainly appreciate the stress of running a 5 star B&B for several busy months, I cannot... More

Very nice new home overlooking the river and valley. It seemed more like a hotel room than a B&B. Huge bathroom, which was a surprise. Nice breakfast menu. If you're looking for modern hotel-like amenities, this is the place to stay. More
