"River House is a gem, far superior in comfort and elegance than a holiday home usually provides!"
We loved the spacious rooms, the kitchen / lounge area was very well equipped and had everything you need to cook including a great range oven. The food truck opposite the house offers very good quality food if you want a break from cooking. It was a pleasure to sit in the lovely library room with it's great selection of books, enjoyed the quiet and very comfortable ambience. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were super clean! The courtyard garden and the main gardens are very impressive and a great bonus, if you get good weather!!!!Overall the best holiday house ever. Ramelton is very interesting place and a good base for visiting lots of places.
Thankyou for your feedback, Mary. We are delighted you enjoyed the place Property Owner

"This house is beautiful and extremely spacious."
We had a fabulous stay and were very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay here again. It made our holiday so enjoyable. It is in an excellent location with easy parking outside and an amazing garden. The owner is very responsive and we had a couple of minor practical issues which were swiftly dealt with.

"This is a lovely property, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped."
Unfortunately the weather was not good enough for us to enjoy the garden but the bright open kitchen/dining/living area more than made up for it. The village is very nice, more there than it first appears. We found it a good location for exploring the area. We would recommend this property.

Location was great. Really enjoyed our stay, it was a home away from home and will definitely be staying here as my No 1 choice as a regular visitor to Ramelton. Very happy with the overall stay.

"The River House was beautiful inside and right across from the river."
We felt as though we were staying in a castle! The house is well-maintained with antiques and many personal touches. If going to the lovely town of Ramelton, stay here!
We are really delighted you enjoyed the town and the house. Thankyou for your kind words and for coming to stay. Property Owner

"We are seasoned travellers around Ireland and beyond and prefer to self cater, stay in a comfortable place and relax and explore… the River House by far is one of our most brilliant experiences!"
! We are impressed by the decor , quality of furnishings, utensils, artwork, furniture, the beds! shower, jacuzzi, outdoor patio area, extensive garden and a glorious open fire .. which was lit religiously every day!! The location allowed us to venture up the Fanad peninsula and over to Rosguil at our leisure and we took in many hikes and extensive beach walks at Ballyhiernan, Ballymackstocker and Rathmullan. The convenience of the Blue Goat Deli (truly excellent coffee from a truly eccentric owner!!), the Lennonside Butchers and the Bridge Bar Restaurant as well as the famous Ranch Food truck is fabulous!! We purchased loads of fresh mussels and scallops and vegetables at the weekly Thursday market directly outside our front door! Our hosts were remarkably responsive, respectful of privacy and allowed an additional night as well as a late checkout. This is a space to savour, you will find comfort, a beautiful ambience and an attention to detail which is extremely rare to find…. I am so glad to have discovered this rarity…. We will be back!!!
Thankyou Joe, It has been an absolute pleasure hosting you. We look forward to your return. Kind regards Karena Property Owner

"There seemed to be a water leak in the downstairs bathroom."
Not bad but annoying. The downstairs bedroom wasn't 100% clean, bed linen was marked. The rest of the house was lovely.
Hello Gayle Yhankyou for your visit and valuable feedback. I have sent someone out to check the downstaris bathroom. Im very sorry about the problem with bedlinen. If you come again, please report any problem such as the marked sheets immediately to our agents, and we will resolve the issue. Kind regards Karena Property Owner

"Top class accommodation."
Extremely comfortable. Highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Ramelton. Only found SkyTV difficult to operate. Perhaps not being used to this system.

About the location
RAMELTON, COUNTY DONEGAL
Letterkenny 8 miles.
The sleepy heritage town of Ramelton, County Donegal, sits at the start of the Fanad Peninsula, where the River Lennon joins Lough Swilly. Cut into a wooded valley, Ramelton dates back to the 17th century and the distinctive architecture of the warehouse buildings on the quays dominate the village. Ramelton has a colourful history as one of Donegal’s most important ports, with ships arriving from the Carribbean in the 1800s to export linen made in the village. Though quieter nowadays, an abundance of welcoming local shops and pubs still welcome visitors, and there are ample opportunities for fishermen and golfers in the region. The picturesque Fanad Head is just a short distance away, as are beaches at Rathmullan and Dunfanaghy.
