    All was fabulous! Just a small suggestion: a full body mirror would be a great addition to the deluxe studio.

    Beautiful location by the river, 5 min walk into town. Very cozy room with a fire place, all very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is absolutely divine!

    Nothing worth mentioning…our hosts put a lot of effort into making our stay exceptional.

    We stayed an extra night in the coach house and lit the stove fire for a bit of nostalgia…very comforting.

    I should have stayed longer. Nothing to dislike.

    This was exceptional and Erica clearly cares about her guests. Beautiful setting, spacious room, nespresso machine, a shower you can turn round in ( rare in Irish B&Bs), glorious bed and scrumptious breakfast, with eggs Benedict cooked by Erica herself And Newport is a pretty town too. Highly recommend this riverside jewel.

    Simply nothing

    Simply everything. Erica and John have made Riverside House a true oasis. The house, the bedroom, the dining room, the breakfast, the location, the vibe all wonderful. We would absolutely recommend staying here. We were very disappointed that we only stayed one night. Take our advice and stay at least 2 nights. You won't regret it!

    The room was too cold.

    Erica and John (only my partner met him) were exceptional! The friendliest host I have ever met. Breakfast was delicious. John baked their own bread and Erica prepared the breakfast (you can choose French toast, scrambled egg, egg Benedict, etc). The room itself was really clean and comfortable. Two cute cats. They have EV charger, where John would be more than happy to assist.

    The property was very well maintained, clean and had a lovely eclectic decor. Some retro furnishings and lovely books. A very interesting b&b. The house and grounds are really very beautiful. The hens add lovely character too. Their eggs were tasty. I don't think they missed anything. There's an EV charging port too. Breakfast was just a lovely experience and the shower was the best😍

    The room was beautiful, the attention to detail in decorations and equipment amazed me. The bunk bed was a highlight for the little one. The breakfast is the best I ever had in a B&B with loads of homemade food. Erica was very welcoming, from preparing the fireplace every day to tailoring the breakfast to my upset stomach’s needs on the last day.

    We stayed from December 30 to the first of January, and it was the best decision to stay in Erica’s lovely home to meet the New Years. We were welcomed with smiles and warmth, the rooms were big and were very well equipped with your own fridge, coffee maker, coffee pods, drinking water, and cutleries. The view of the river in the morning just takes away your stress. Every single detail was really thought through, and they even have an electric car charger - which they’ve installed mainly for the guests to use (we came in with an electric car so it means we don’t need to find chargers around town). Then breakfast is something that is done with so much love and effort. Bread is freshly baked, french toast was divine, food is gorgeous, my husband is lactose intolerant and my friend has kids with her and Erica and John made the effort to personalize each order according to each person’s preferences. Truly a remarkable experience and everything is *chef’s kiss*
