Location: In proximity to Kenmare (walking distance) and the Ring of Kerry, you would be hard up to beat this location with private parking without the tourist-fest that is Killarney.

Hospitality: Margaret is our all-time favorite B&B host (so much so we have visited twice). Hot breakfast each morning and a huge help in getting around, finding good restaurants, and finding good hikes. Margaret doesn't lay on the thick sweetness, but she is very genuine and enjoys people and helping them enjoy the area.

Room: The room is modest, but clean and comfortable. You don't go to SW Ireland to spend time in your room, you go there to relax and refresh after a day's activity. It clearly meets that need. Bathroom is small, but we didn't encounter any problems. Bed was very comfortable. The common area has hot tea, games, and a TV.

We would definitely stay here a third time.

nice welcoming people who were always willing to help out.

However very narrow bathrooms with faulty pluming. No tv and tea/coffe making facilities in the bedroom. Also way too much pine in the house.
Brekfast nice

We stayed at Riverville House in August 07, just returned. On arrival we were shown to a guest sitting room with books, beautiful view and a tv. We had tea and biscuits from Margaret who looked after us wonderfully.

We are a family of 4 and had a family room with really comfortable beds, 1 double and 2 singles. The beds are so comfortable, you sink into crisp clean cotton sheets. The shower in our room was powerful and did the job well!

Breakfast was delicious, not greasy at all, with 2 courses. It was beautifully presented, fresh coffee and juice, even soda bread!
Location is perfect, very quiet - 4 mins walk to centre of Kenmare and a great 7 min walk to the pier along country lanes / fields for a paddle in the sea!
I would recommend this B&B to anyone, don't hesitate, you will be in good hands.

When we arrived in Kenmare, Margaret was not at the B&B, however she had left a note for us on the door, letting us know that she would be back soon and to check out the market in the centre of town. I really appreciated the note as we knew we where expected! The house is gorgeous! and the room was spacious as well. Breakfast was wonderful as we had choices, the yogurt and fruit is great! Our stay was relaxing and very enjoyable, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!
