The River House in Ramelton receives high praise for its comfort, spaciousness, and well-equipped facilities. Guests are impressed by the property's decor, quality furnishings, and the convenience of local amenities. The beautiful garden and the property's location across from the river add to the charm. While there are minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is very positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found The River House to be clean and well-maintained, though there was a mention of a water leak and some marked bed linen in one of the bedrooms. These seem to be isolated incidents, as the majority of reviews do not raise cleanliness as an issue.
The location of The River House is consistently praised for being great, quiet, central, and convenient. It is well-situated for exploring the area and is appreciated for its proximity to local shops, markets, and the river.
Guests describe their stays as very comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and the cosy open fire. The spacious rooms and the property's overall ambience contribute to a relaxing experience.
The River House is well-equipped with a range oven, jacuzzi, and a selection of books. However, there were minor practical issues and difficulty operating the SkyTV system, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Resting rurally in Ramelton, County Donegal is The River House, a wonderful three-storey property, welcoming six guests and one furry companion. Enjoying a prime position near a host of amenities and upon the riverside, whilst offering guests flexible sleeping and living arrangements, a stunning multi-level garden, and a characterful interior, the property delivers the perfect base for a family escape. Park up on the roadside before entering into The River House and ascending up to the first floor; here you will find the light-flooded open-plan living space, offering a well-equipped kitchen, a relaxed dining area, and a homely sitting area with a balcony onto the elevated patio.
There is a small one bedroom cottage at the end of the patio, occasionally used by the owners family, which can be available for larger parties. Next door you will find the charming dining room, set up for formal meals with the woodburning stove alight, before descending to the ground floor, where you can relax in the sitting room with one of the many books on offer in hand. When sleep calls, select between a ground-floor king-size with Sky TV and access to the rear patio, serviced by a shower room, and a king-size and a twin, both set on the second-floor, serviced by an indulgent bathroom with Jacuzzi bath.
Awaken to a stroll around the pretty gardens before travelling beyond The River House to stock up on the essentials, dine out and visit the stunning landscape of Lennon River Waterfall. Travelling further afield, enjoy a round of golf at Letterkenny Golf Club, or if you'd prefer an activity for all the family, head to Letterkenny Activity Centre, to try your hand at archery, the high ropes, and go karting. Finish off your getaway in a nature-filled surrounding by hiking across Glenveagh National Park, the second largest reserve in Ireland, touring Glenveagh Castle, and following the walking trails through Mullangore Wood, offering breath-taking vistas of the nearby lochs.
Experience a true break by booking The River House.
Ramelton, a peaceful historic settlement in County Donegal, is located where the River Lennon merges with Lough Swilly at the tip of the Fanad Peninsula. Ramelton, which was founded in the 17th century and is tucked within a wooded valley, is known for its unusual warehouse architecture on its quays. One of Donegal's most significant ports, Ramelton has a rich history. In the 1800s, ships from the Caribbean came here to export the village's linen. Even though the area is now quieter, there are still a lot of friendly local businesses that welcome tourists, and there are plenty of chances for golfers and fisherman. Beaches at Rathmullan and Dunfanaghy are both close by, as is the charming Fanad Head.
