As previous reviewers have noted, this is a wonderful B and B with outstanding hosts. My dad and I spent three nights there recently and used it as a base to play golf in the County Down area. Beautiful 18th century mill that has been lovingly restored. The breakfasts were the best I've had during three weeks of holiday time... More

I stayed at the River Mill B&B for three great nights and did not regret booking at this fantastic establishment. I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I don’t when I stayed at a better B&B, so I would say they are certainly in the very top of my list. They recently completely renovated a derelict old building and turned... More

The River Mill is a wonderfully restored home between Downpatrick and Ardglass in Northern Ireland. The hosts, Theresa and Aidan could not have been more friendly and helpful. The B&B is a bit out of the way, but Aidan came out to the road to guide me in. They welcomed me with tea and baked goods and shared stories of... More

The River Mill has been beautifully restored by our hosts, a real labour of love. The interior is modern and finished to an exacting standard with comfort and luxury a priority. We stayed for two nights in April and were delighted with our accommodation. The bedrooms & en suits are spacious & tastefully decorated. We were served delicious breakfasts with... More

My husband & I stayed in the River Mill for two days as an anniversary breakaway. The directions given by the site were very easy to follow & lead us straight to this beautifully restored mill. The location is ideal to explore this very scenic area with the lovely national trust property, Castle Ward, picturesque Strangford,Clochy Nature reserve, Ardglass,Coney Island... More

My husband, 14-month old daughter, and I stayed here last week while heading north from Dublin to Giant's Causeway. The location was a bit "off-the-beaten-path," but once found, was very easy to get to again on our way back from dinner. Theresa & Aiden were fantastic hosts, and cooked an awesome Irish Breakfast for us! They were very loving towards... More

Myself and my partner were taking a night off from being parents and wanted somewhere to enjoy some well earned peace and quiet and that's exactly what we got. I've rarely stayed anywhere more peaceful (and pitch black too, not a street light in sight!!). Theresa and Aidan were great and made us feel very welcome and also offered to... More

This is a really lovely conversion from an old stone mill to modern house in a beautiful location - very quiet and really dark at night so that you can see the stars. Lovely welcome from Aiden and Theresa with tea on arrival and a great breakfast.

We stayed at the River Mill Bed and Breakfast for two glorious nights in September 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This B&B has all the bells and whistles of a 5-star establishment and much, much more. It has only recently been renovated (from the ground up!) and we enjoyed all the mod-cons new accommodation provides including luxurious ensuite bathrooms... More

My wife and I, along with another couple, just completed a trip to Ireland. Of the six Band Bs that we stayed in, this was the best. It is an old mill, part built in 1712, I think, and part in 1847. The place was recently gutted and completely redone. Everything inside is very modern and sleek. Aiden and Theresa... More
