Old building, very dated decor, damp, no lock on the door, lots of clutter everywhere with dirty bedding. Feel so bad giving this review as the woman who owns it was very friendly.

We took one look at our dirty tired room, and promptly left. This place is a disaster. I doubt I will get a refund because I didn't cancel before the allowed check out time. However I wish to warn anyone from staying here. The ensuite was disgusting with used toiletries and filth everywhere. There was an old carpet draped over the part used tea and coffee facilities. Hairs in the bed. We booked this because it said it was pet friendly. It's not. Pets are not allowed in the building because the owner is allergic. So why say you are? The place is cold and is damp. I'd sleep in the car before staying here.

Wedding in nearby hotel.
Stayed here for one night as we were attending a wedding in the hotel nearby, we had a very warm welcome ask were offered soup on arrival. The views are beautiful from the house. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful and the owner was a lovely friendly lady.

Super local B&B ideal for the visiting angler
The owner, Una, is a fantastic host, making me feel welcome from the first moment. I was visiting to take part in the annual Cootehill Fishing Festival competition, and this was the first time staying at the Riverside. Una is also one of the festival organisers so her local knowledge is unrivalled. For fishermen, this is an ideal base, with a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day, and for those that want it, home-cooked dinner after a day on the lakeside. There is always an offer of a cup of tea or some soup when you arrive back in the evening. For the anglers, most important there is an out-building to dry your fishing tackle after a wet day and a large fridge to keep your bait fresh. To be fair, the decor and facilities may disappoint those who are expecting 'the Ritz', but in my experience the Riverside is typical of the local, friendly B&B you can expect in this area. For any angler has not visited the Cootehill area, what's stopping you? The fishing is great!!

So friendly!
Stayed here with my boyfriend as we had a wedding at the nearby Errigal. Cannot recommend enough! The owner was an absolute angel, so friendly with a nice cuppa waiting for us at our arrival! Breakfast was absolutely delicious with nice big portions! As for location, it was perfect for us with a comfortable walk (<10 mins) back from the Errigal even after a few lemonades. Thanks so much for the brilliant stay!

A little part of Ireland
The B&B is an old victorian house with one of the most friendliest landlady you will ever meet. The house is typically Victorian with many of original features. You will need a car as it is situated about 20mins out of town on foot.The rooms are a little dated but this is made up by the hospitalitiy

Quaint 1888's built farm home. The property needs renovation and some things were not quite to standard, but the hospitality and care was great, and the food fantastic.

Nice settings and wonderful welcome
We had an excellent stay for 1 night at the Riverside House. Una made us feel very welcome, was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The B&B is very traditional and the settings are wonderful. It's very close to the Errigal Hotel and the centre of Cootehill.

I will never stay there again. Firstly, the house needs total re-modernisation. The young French girl who assisted with breakfast could not cook toast and served hot white bread. I ordered porridge which came and was not cooked. She then returned with a bowl in her hand and asked me if I wanted more. I was totally disgusted and returned the lot. Only I was so tired after some 12 hours travel I would have worked out. The shower had not been cleaned for months, the door was hanging off, the glass mirror over the hand basin had part of the glass missing, the toilet remind me of the early 80's, the house smelt of dampness. There was no iron in the room. A tray had been left on the side table with no cups or kettle. I don't know why this house is offering accommodation to holiday makers as it should be struck off. Overall view, I , myself, would be totally ashamed of this accommodation as firstly it needs a good clean and trained staff that know how to cook a piece of toast. Very poor for seventy euros a night.

Not as expected
We arrived on Friday afternoon and were offer a cuppa tea and the lady was very welcoming and helpful. We stayed until after Sat. morning for breakfast. Although the lady was most friendly the room was not what was expected. The bed linen was very clean and the bed most comfortable. the room could have been cleaner.
