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

Enjoyed our 1 night stay at Rivermount. Had a beautiful room--very modern and clean. Breakfast was wonderful--much more than expected--"Claire's Surprise" scrambled eggs covered in smoked salmon--so good! My only complaint was that it was foggy & drizzly so we could not see the beautiful view of the river!! Enjoyed dinner in town at Fishy Fishy Restaurant. More

Rivermount House B&B was beautiful.. I received a very warm welcome and was taken to my room. It was very nicely decorated and very homey. And plenty of room. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. I got the best night sleep in two weeks here. In the morning, the breakfast was wonderful, with alot more to choose from than most of... More

We received a very warm welcome on arrival and this continued throughout our stay. The house is very elegantly decorated and the facilities are certainly 5 star. The rooms, bathrooms etc. are immaculate with every facility. The guest lounges and dining room beautifully decorated with everything to hand and wonderful views over the Bandon river. Claire is very knowledgeable about... More

It is hard to believe its 3 years since our last visit to Kinsale and we were looking forward to returning to Rivermount & again we were not disappointed, it is excellent accommodation. The house has recently received a 5* accolade & this is a well deserved award, it is extremely well appointed & the interior decor is just ~FAB.... More

This is a very well designed home opened up to the public. It has been beautifully renovated recently and you can tell that Claire and her family put their all into it. The only drawback is that it is 3 miles from downtown Kensale. More
