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.

A traditional Irish breakfast, using local produce, is served over-looking the water. Continental and vegetarian options are also available, whilst home-made bread is baked daily.

We traveled together with 2 other couples. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable. Our breakfast table was in a bay with beautiful views out over the water and the town of Kinsale. Lola (the house dog) was a delightful addition.
