You could not ask for a better location when visiting Glendalough: this attractive b&b lies next to the river, a pleasant, short walk from Glendalough Village. The walk ends right at Glendalough monastic site affording beautiful views of the round tower and ruins. Our two children loved hopping across the stepping stones to and from the b&b (see photos), and... More

We arrived at Riversdale late in the evening to a warm welcome from our hosts who immediately suggested dinner at the Wicklow Heather - and we were not disappointed. The next morning we awoke to a stunning location looking out over the river and up the valley. It would have to be one of the most picturesque locations of our... More

I stayed for 5 nights at Riversdale B&B, and would highly recommend it. It is set in the Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow - the garden of Ireland - where beauty abounds. My window afforded me a birds' eye view of the mountains, forest and the river, with its stepping stones. So much to see and explore there, with walks... More

If you are going to go to Glendalough and hike the lakes and monastic settlement then the Riversdale is very convenient. In the end, after travelling around Ireland for over a week and staying in various B&B's, we would say that this one is middle of the road. The room is well sized as is the bathroom. We did think...

Stayed here on our 3rd night in Ireland. Breathtaking views, gorgeous B&B. This was our first B&B and after the trip it was among the best. Great food and the host arranged our diner reservations with a local restaurant and the restaurant picked us up and brought us back. Nice touch. The B&B is located on the river in the... More

The Riversdale House is a bit off the beaten path, but the rooms are spacious and the hostess very efficient. Breakfast is good with a wide selection to choose from. Cross the river just outside (no bridge just an interesting set of large bolders...) and enjoy a number of scenic hikes. www.glendalough.eu.com/ More

The hosts are totally friendly and the rooms are extraordinarily beautiful and big. the surroundings and landscape of the B&B are gorgeous. It was perfect, that they had an internet access for guests for free! We'd love to come back some time! More

Very clean, very warm and friendly environment. BEAUTIFUL views and lovely fresh (very filling!) breakfast. Perfect for a peaceful retreat away from the noise and lights of the city, amidst nature and the dreamy, romantic frame of the Wicklow Mountains. Liam is a very lovely, generous host who ensures his guests are always comfortable. We highly recommend this b&b! More
