Rivermount House is a boutique-style guest house overlooking the Bandon River outside Kinsale town. In peaceful surroundings, spacious bedrooms have countryside views, bathtubs and satellite TVs.

With just 6 bedrooms, all with king-sized beds, there is a relaxed ambiance at Rivermount. Rooms are individually decorated and all offer work desks and seating areas, hair dryers and free Wi-Fi.

Kinsale is a beautiful town, just 10 minutes away from this lovely property. The property is situated in a tranquil area with a beautiful view of the river and nearby farms. We were travelling as a family with 2 kids (age 10 and 11 years) and the family suite fulfilled all our expectations. A delicious breakfast was served every morning by very friendly and accomodating staff. I can highly recommend this property when visting Kinsale.

    Curragh house is a 5 star place to stay. The interiors are gorgeous very tasteful decor and the views are amazing overlooking Riverstick. Our welcome package was a lovely touch. Kinsale is only a short distance away and Veronica recommended some lovely restaurants. I hope to return again soon as it’s such a peaceful place.

    The Skinny house is a lovely house in a short walking distance of shops, pubs and restaurants. We parked our car in front of the house and left it there during our stay. The house is nicely designed and is spacier than it looks at first sight. I loved the little bench in the kitchen/living room on the upper floor from wich you can see the colored houses in the street behind. And of course the washer and dryer; especially when it rains a lot ;) I recommend the Skilly Walk to Charles Ford!

    The interior design was absolutely stunning, we loved how spacious it was & how homely it was. Veronica was the hostess with the mostess, honestly she couldn’t have done more for us with a fridge stocked, bottle of wine & a box of chocolates on arrival . She even helped me out for my best friends weddings by dropping me to the venue. Never stayed in a more lovely place.

    Beautifully located hotel with spectacular views over Oysterhaven and impressive atrium. Excellent reception staff. Welcoming, friendly without being obsequious and well informed. We observed delicate and tactful management of a potentially difficult situation. Lovely grounds. Spacious room. Comfortable bed. Well designed bathroom.

    A modern boutique style stay. Excellent location in the centre of Kinsale with a very good restaurant on the ground floor. Very stylish rooms with a lot of attention to detail. The beds are super comfortable and the shower is excellent. Felt very cosy and luxurious. A lot of thought has gone into the design and furnishings throughout. Highly recommended!
