Wonderful Stay in this beautiful location
Loved the location of this property right in the heart of the Glengarrif Nature Reserve. Felt we were in the canopy of the trees listening to the babble of the river and birdsong.
Incredible stars we were blessed with the weather.

Great holiday!
We had a lovely week at this property outside Glengarriff with our three teenagers. The house is in a fantastic location for walks, well off the beaten track and still just a 5 minute drive from the village. Well placed to visit Kenmare, Bantry and the Beara peninsula. Would definitely be happy to return.

A very quiet location in the deep countryside with a pleasant feel.May be too isolated for some but with a car into Glengarriff in ten minutes and the drive over the mountain to Kenmare approximately twenty minutes.Most items in the property sufficient however if the stay is like ours a month then may be the seating in the lounge needs more and improved.Definitely if there is more than three people.Nice large bedrooms with upstairs having a view and pleasant sounds of the river.We used the oven, microwave and kitchen every day and found the aspect very good even on the very few rainy days we experienced.A few extra items and updates would be useful.A great month stay!

Wonderful house in exceptional woodland setting.
The house was impeccably cleaned for our arrival with a great welcome from the caretaker. The setting is the beautiful Glengarriff Nature Reserve, totally peaceful and with wonderful woodland walks such as the amazing Waterfall Walk within a short distance. Glengarriff town, Garnish Island , swimming in the river in the woods, lunch in the Eccles Hotel, so many great experiences in our stay at the River House :)

The instructions to get to the property were good. The house itself was very clean and had everything you could think of. The surroundings are beautiful and my dog was living her best life here! Poolen forest down the road was lovely for swimming in for kids and dogs and safe. Overall this house gets 5 stare from us. We hope to be back.

Lovely house in such a beautiful and peaceful location. We even had deer in the garden! Excellent communication from Paul the owner.
Well equipped, clean and comfortable.
Fabulous walks in the area and lovely Pooleen pool to swim. Glengariff is not far with a small selection of pubs and restaurants. Bantry a bit further down the road but has a larger selection. We will return!

The house is located in a quiet forest and has a very large garden. Stunning views on woods and caha mountains; only if you look very carefully you might see tiny moving cars far away on the caha pass. We spotted deer in the garden. Glengarriff is only a few kilometres away. The house is rather spacious and the kitchen is large.

Great house in a beautiful setting. Lovely to sit outside listening to the flowing river and birdsong very relaxing. The house was well equipped we had everything we needed and plenty of space and was very comfortable. Glengarriff has plenty of pubs and a few eating places we used Jacks restaurant most of the time serving fresh fish daily. A trip to Garinish island is a must! A fantastic holiday we thoroughly enjoyed it. Owner was very helpful with any request we had.

Perfect Place to Decompress and Recharge In The Most Magical Setting
The River House is a beautiful house in a wonderful and enchanted location. The house is spacious with good amenities and is comfortable to live in.We loved the fact that we could take a myriad of different walks from the house either through beautiful woodland or to the top of a mountain. Each walk enabled us to enjoy nature - from trees and plants to goats, birds and even deer.
The setting and the house itself are both excellent but what differentiates this property is the level of service provided both by the host who was immensely responsive and helpful and by the house caretakers who responded to an unforeseen power cut by driving up to the house with litres of fresh water and a flask of hot water so that we could enjoy hot drinks until the power company fixed the fault - and then followed up to see if we were ok.
We have stayed in many beautiful holiday homes across Europe and the US but never have we felt the peace that we experienced here. The house is set up for families and I am sure it would be great but I would also highly recommend a stay here for couples who want to truly get away from it all.

ok
Check in was hard. We got codes but padlock on gate is on other side so hard to do. No info on wifi before or in house. Could not call from house to find wifi info.- this should be provided at house or before arrival so guests do not have to go all the way into town to call!
Do not take road off of mountain- gps took us this way- treacherous. Better entrance 1 km from Glengariff.
Pros; large rooms, pretty views, quiet, parking right outside door.
Cons; no fans or ac and very warm night, mattresses bad- springs in your back, few trash cans, moldy shower curtain, No instructions on anything- washer, dryer, dishwasher, heat, wifi- coming from the US and not familiar made having no directions hard, motion lights came on in middle of night for a while.

Hi Sharon, Thank you for your opinion, though you seem to be the only guests that have had these problems. Please let me address them. Check in is very simple its a key safe box with a combination that was provided to you days before arrival, the gate lock is a simple combination lock, Wifi code was provided to you days before in a document called house information and details all aspects of the property, you then contacted be directly and I provided it again. I provided detailed instructions on how to get to the property in a document called directions sent to you days before check in. As you may read in previous reviews guests have been very happy with the directions I have provided. I cannot take responsibility for your GPS. In regards to the warm nights, in the house info document that you did not read there were instructions on how to turn down the heating to your requirements. Will check the mattresses as we have had no other complaints, as explained to you before check in if there was anything you were unhappy with I would look at changing but you did not communicate this with me. We have a trash can in the utility room and a large 300ltr wheelie bin outside the back, information on how to use these was provided in the house information. I believe this is sufficient for the 3 days you were at the property. All instructions were provided to you prior to check in. Clear from previous reviews you are on your own in regards to your opinion.

Schönes Haus - Ausstattung und Pflege verbesserungsbedürftig
Das Haus mit einer großen Wohnküche und einem separaten Wohnzimmer ist schön und geräumig genug für sechs Personen. Der Steinfußboden in der Küche, die Holz-Fußleisten und die Holzdielen in der oberen Etage und die Gestaltung der Bäder geben ihm einen gewissen Charme. Wohn- und Esszimmer sind mit Laminat ausgelegt. Es sind zwei Bäder und ein separates WC vorhanden. Das Grundstück mit Zugang zum unterhalb gelegenen Fluss ist wunderschön.
Wer es abgelegen mag, fühlt sich hier wohl, aber man muss die Einsamkeit schon mögen. Die Anfahrt von der Hauptstraße ist anspruchsvoll und führt zunächst über steile, einspurige und kurvige Feldwege, später über Sträßchen. Wenn man von Glenngarrif kommt, fährt man entspannter an.
Mit der Pflege des Hauses waren wir jedoch nicht zufrieden. Für die doch recht ansehnliche Summe für die Endreinigung hätten wir erwartet, dass im Ofen keine Krümel und geschmolzenen Käsereste sind und dass der Kühlschrank, der stark vereist war, frei von Milchresten und anderem Schmutz ist. Der Wasserhahn in der Küche tropfte permanent. Die Doppelbetten sind mit 120 cm Breite recht schmal, zumindest die Matratze unten ist so durchgelegen, dass die Metallfedern zu spüren waren. Eine der Klobrillen passt nicht zum WC und rutschte immer zur Seite weg. Es wird auf Hinweisschildern zwar auf die Gefahr durch den Fluss hingewiesen, jedoch schließt das Gartentor, das kleine Kinder vor dem ungewollten Zugang zum Fluss schützen sollte, nicht. Obwohl keine Aschenbecher vor

Thank you for the review, you can clearly see from all the 5 star reviews that the property has been enjoyed by many. The approach to the property from Glengarriff is a country lane as you would expect from a rural stay in Ireland, it is fully tarmacked. I will check with our cleaners in regards to the cleaning as you can see from previous reviews we always get a 5 star for cleanliness, if on this occasion it was not other than perfect I apologise. If you would have let me know I would have sorted it out. The fee is appropriate for the size of the property. As I had explained, please let me know if I can help, to you if you would have let me know on any maintenance issues I would have had them resolved immediately, as for the mattresses they are all new and the size shown in our photos. The river is clearly visible in our photos and there are signs warning. We have had many families stay who have enjoyed the river. The gate and fencing is to keep cattle out of our property. There are no ashtrays as the property is none smoking clearly stated on our website. I will consider your points and let our caretaker know but in my opinion your rating of our property is unjust, thank you.
