We enjoyed our stay with Mary at her well kept farmhouse B&B. She was most helpful and we had many informative chats. Breakfast could not be beat. The location is a bit out of town which required a car to get to the pub, but the place made up for that one inconvenience. Room was homey and neat. We liked... More

A completely delightful B&B. We stayed 3 nights at Riverdale Farmhouse in October 2012. When we arrived, Mary's welcome was warm and inviting. We felt right at home. She was truly a gracious proprietor and a sincere delight to chat with each morning and evening sitting in front of the turf fires. Our room was immaculate, very comfortable, quiet, lots... More

Mary is the absolute Irish lady as she welcomes you into her beautiful b and b, immediately making you feel that you've arrived home. From the immaculate rooms, to the lovely en-suites (possibly brand new), to sitting by the fire in the sitting room, to a quiet peaceful sleep and a wonderful breakfast, we could not have asked for a...

It was a holiday weekend and the first 2 B&B's we checked were full. We didn't know how fortunate we were. Riverdale is just outside of the small town center of Doolin set in a beautiful country side with farmland and horses. Mary's home is warm and inviting. She has many suggestions and is very knowledgable and helpful in planing... More

I can't say enough about Mary Fitzgerald the owner of Riverdale Farmhouse. She was the most well informed, interesting, genuinely caring woman to talk with I've met in a very long while. Her home was warm and comfortable with turf fires burning in the breakfast room each morning. I could have lingered there feeling the unique warmth and enjoying the... More

I enjoyed my stay with Mary at her B&B. She was very welcoming and helpful. Her home was delightful and comfortable. Her Irish breakfast was excellent. I also enjoyed an evening at the local pub of her suggestion with live music and great food! I enjoyed talking with her about the Burren area and Ireland in general and she helped... More

Riverdale Farmhouse feels like a home away from home. We stayed at the farm for four nights and loved it! Mary Fitzgerald is the owner and is the sweetest, loveliest person you will ever meet. She was so friendly and spoiled us greatly with warm turf fires, delicious breakfasts and lively conversation. The rooms are nicely decorated and are very... More

We stayed at Riverdale our very first night in Ireland. I'm sorry we didn't make arrangements to stay here much longer. Mary is a remarkably warm, and gracious hostess. Her cooking was delicious and plentiful. She was only too willing to accommodate us with our early check in time on our first day ever in Ireland. Our room had a... More
