The River House

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the River House.

The property is beautifully furnished, well equipped and very comfortable, and the hosts were friendly and readily available if required. The River House is located in a lovely small town and is ideally situated for touring Donegal.

The River House is a really special place.

We’ve had a lot of holidays in lovely houses and cottages in the UK and Ireland, but this is this first time we’ve all said we’d really like to go back to the same property. The photos don’t lie, there’s a grandness about the River House, but it’s also really welcoming and comfortable. And it’s in a beautiful and interesting part of the world. Good pubs and shops, and a very useful food van just over the road. We loved everything about the River House. One wee niggle, the splendid-looking double bed in the upstairs room does creak a lot (even with just one person in it …!). Don’t let that put you off though - I find myself wondering where the owner does live if they choose not to live here!

Beautifully styled house with glorious garden.

The best holiday rental we have stayed in by a long way. Excellent.

One of the beds upstairs was said to be uncomfortable but other than that we loved the house and enjoyed our stay.

River House overlooks the Lennon River in Ramelton, Co.

Donegal. A wonderful and welcoming home full of character & charm! Positioned at the heart of this rural town, the gateway to Fanad & beyond. A perfect base for touring Donegal. If you've time to spare at the weekend visit Green Door Vintage wear down on the quay, open 12 noon to 5pm Sat & Sunday, dine upstairs in the Bridge bar. On Wednesday night drop by Conway's Bar for a great session of music & craic. Oh, and Charlie our dog thought River House was the best accommodation he has stayed at ever!!

River House is a gem, far superior in comfort and elegance than a holiday home usually provides!

We loved the spacious rooms, the kitchen / lounge area was very well equipped and had everything you need to cook including a great range oven. The food truck opposite the house offers very good quality food if you want a break from cooking. It was a pleasure to sit in the lovely library room with it's great selection of books, enjoyed the quiet and very comfortable ambience. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were super clean! The courtyard garden and the main gardens are very impressive and a great bonus, if you get good weather!!!!Overall the best holiday house ever. Ramelton is very interesting place and a good base for visiting lots of places.

This house is beautiful and extremely spacious.

We had a fabulous stay and were very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay here again. It made our holiday so enjoyable. It is in an excellent location with easy parking outside and an amazing garden. The owner is very responsive and we had a couple of minor practical issues which were swiftly dealt with.

This is a lovely property, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped.

Unfortunately the weather was not good enough for us to enjoy the garden but the bright open kitchen/dining/living area more than made up for it. The village is very nice, more there than it first appears. We found it a good location for exploring the area. We would recommend this property.

Beautiful family home.

Great location, quiet and central.

The house was very comfortable and it had all amenities.

Location was great. Really enjoyed our stay, it was a home away from home and will definitely be staying here as my No 1 choice as a regular visitor to Ramelton. Very happy with the overall stay.

The River House was beautiful inside and right across from the river.

We felt as though we were staying in a castle! The house is well-maintained with antiques and many personal touches. If going to the lovely town of Ramelton, stay here!

We are seasoned travellers around Ireland and beyond and prefer to self cater, stay in a comfortable place and relax and explore… the River House by far is one of our most brilliant experiences!

! We are impressed by the decor , quality of furnishings, utensils, artwork, furniture, the beds! shower, jacuzzi, outdoor patio area, extensive garden and a glorious open fire .. which was lit religiously every day!! The location allowed us to venture up the Fanad peninsula and over to Rosguil at our leisure and we took in many hikes and extensive beach walks at Ballyhiernan, Ballymackstocker and Rathmullan. The convenience of the Blue Goat Deli (truly excellent coffee from a truly eccentric owner!!), the Lennonside Butchers and the Bridge Bar Restaurant as well as the famous Ranch Food truck is fabulous!! We purchased loads of fresh mussels and scallops and vegetables at the weekly Thursday market directly outside our front door! Our hosts were remarkably responsive, respectful of privacy and allowed an additional night as well as a late checkout. This is a space to savour, you will find comfort, a beautiful ambience and an attention to detail which is extremely rare to find…. I am so glad to have discovered this rarity…. We will be back!!!

There seemed to be a water leak in the downstairs bathroom.

Not bad but annoying. The downstairs bedroom wasn't 100% clean, bed linen was marked. The rest of the house was lovely.

Top class accommodation.

Extremely comfortable. Highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Ramelton. Only found SkyTV difficult to operate. Perhaps not being used to this system.

Beautiful property, very spacious & clean… The beds were very comfortable and it had everything that you could possibly need.

We would highly recommend it and would definitely stay again.
