The cottage is described as idillic on the website and certainly lives up to this Had everything we needed plus more. Lovely location. Had great outdoor activities for all the family.
First time in this part of Ireland and would definitely love to come back. Would highly recommend the farm house for families or friends for a great holiday.

The property was beautiful. It served our needs very well. The house was friendly wand comfortable. The barn created a safe haven for my son with severe allergies. There was a lack of towels. The driveway was treacherous due to rain and cars frequently slid off. Overall it was a great place to stay.

What an absolute gem! River House more than lived up to expectations and was the perfect hideaway for our family and friends to spend time together after Christmas and over the New Year! Such a wonderful stay in beautiful West Cork with long walks, cold swims, cosy fires, fabulous food, afternoon movies, books, barks and bakes … thanks Coleen and Charlie for being amazing hosts and Jim for taking care of everything, we simply could not recommend this beautiful property highly enough and look forward to returning! Thanks again, Ingrid and John

The River House exceeded all our expectations. We stayed here for 1 week & happened to get the best weather that week compared to the whole summer. We travelled with our 8 year old, 6 year old and 13 week old baby. The house and grounds offered us all that we needed for our break away.
We took our shoes off on arrival and only put them on again when leaving which gave us great opportunities for grounding. We made great use of the river, plenty of fishing and bonfires and s'mores. We were able to bring our baby on all our little adventures which was incredible my favourite adventure being sitting under the chestnut tree reading while he was sleeping in the shade.
We completely slowed down the pace of time, emersed ourselves in nature, played with our children everyday, I'm the comfort of a stunning farmhouse offering us the cool temperatures in the kitchen and sitting room and the warm evenings/nights in the sunroom. Our children loved the trampoline but loved the fishing, rock climbing and family time just as much!
Would highly recommend staying here to reconnect with nature, family and oneself. There was a beautiful feminine essence to this home. You'll understand what I mean when you get here.
Highlight was the outdoor bath!

La casa è in un punto meraviglioso completamente a contatto con la natura e vicino a punti da visitare.
L'unica pecca è stata la pulizia che non ci è sembrata fatta molto bene,.

All our very well travelled friends and my wife and I felt immediately at home in this warm, comfortable, spacious farmhouse. We loved the artwork, books, quirky corners filled with individual touches. The grounds are a special delight with wonderful walks along the river, and sculptures surprising us round every corner. Apart from the cows mooing in the next door field, and a brief visit from a deer, the only sounds are birdsong and the wind in the trees. This is a very happy family home. We all loved it and found it very hard to leave such a special place.

From the moment we stepped into River House it felt like home. Lovely rooms, plenty of space for the four of us and our two dogs. The grounds are magnificent, wish I had brought swimming dogs to try the wonderful river.
The house really does have all you need and is so peaceful due to its tucked away location. Having taken our dogs to at least 6 rentals in Ireland, this was by far the safest location , being fenced in and yet also having lots of fascinating grounds to roam around in.
Thank you so much Coleen and Charlie for lending us your lovely home . We hope to return again on the future.

We spent a wonderful week in River House with the family. It was more than any of us expected. A house full of character and much more homely than what you might expect from a holiday house. The house is clearly very loved, with beautiful art work, lovely hand made furniture, attractive features in the walls and a wonderful garden. It’s very well equipped with everything you need and more. The river was a great favourite for swimming in. We have stayed in several houses in the West of Ireland and River House was definitely very special. It’s hard to come across such a unique place. We all absolutely loved our stay here. Thank you so much Coleen and Charlie, and to Jim for your help.

Stunning , large , Riverside cottage in an utterly quiet rural location. Everything that a large travelling party could require has been thought of and provided. Help if needed is only a phone call away. Every member of our party is already planning our return in 2023.
