A lovely cottage with all we needed in a lovely setting. Plenty of space outdoors with choices of seating areas. Lovely choice for breakfast including cooked breakfast. The photos don't really do it justice.

Great property in a really good location to explore the area. We brought bikes and kayaks and had room to park the trailer and car on the drive. The nearby Old Rail Trail and Lough provide great days out and Mullingar on your doorstep and Athlone a short drive. Comfy beds and a ship nearby for groceries. Met all our needs.

We loved our stay at the cottage. Super cute and warm. It was wonderful it had a washing machine for us to replenish our clothes. Only thing as being out of country, our taxi driver had to tell us how to lock the doors. I would definitely stay there again if I ever make it back. Mullingar is an amazing little town

Cute cottage near town. Very warm and had all the things requiered for a pleasant stay. As there were 5 of us the single bathroom did require some organizing of who had it and when otherwise fine. A suggestion would be to have the clothes dryer in the kitchen next to the washing machine for convenience, and perhaps a second oven tray that fits into the rackng. We stayed 3 weeks and it was very pleasant.

Home Away From Home

We took an extended trip to Ireland and wanting to see multiple parts of the country opted to stay in the midlands. My husband found this listing on VRBO and we booked it. Best decision of the trip. This is a lovely home with a location that made it convenient to visit several other counties in the country. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was present, including some food items stocked upon our arrival which meant we didn’t have to go right out and shop. That wasn’t expected but much appreciated. The home has a washer/dryer and dishwasher. Several coffeemakers and a kettle. There is also a river where the name comes from to lull you to sleep at night. It took us no time at all to settle in. The homeowner maintained an outstanding level of communication and was quick with replys to help us with cultural confusion (we are American and needed some explanation for things like eir codes lol). I was sad to see our time in Mullingar end but if we return I wouldn’t hesitate to book Riven cottage. Not only is it a warm and welcoming property with a great owner but it’s within walking distance of downtown making shopping and days out convenient. I cannot recommend this listing enough.

Mullingar is a lovely town and neighbourhood it has lots to offer,a good transport system and lots of scenery. The area that river Cottage is surrounded by is close to everything,crime free,friendly and neighbourly.

What makes this property unique

River Cottage is unique because of the stream that runs along side it makes it different from all the rest.undisturbed full run of the Cottage not shared with host or other guests in the town but yet out of it because of the green fields along side it.
