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

Lovely warm welcome here, but were slightly dissapointed by the standard of the room. The room was clean but the en-suite shower room was very dated and the shower was really bad, it was one of those that you have to run around in to get wet. We wished we had seen the bathroom earlier and asked to use that... More

As this was my first visit to Ireland, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The Riverdale Farm House was beautiful, and Mary Fitzgerald was so friendly. We were welcomed by her son’s dog, who greeted us at the car with excitement. The rooms were cozy and had everything you needed. The breakfast was amazing – ask for the porridge! Mary... More

Riverdale Farmhouse B&B is a warm and friendly place to stay near Doolin. The owner, Mary Fitzgerald, is a lovely person who truly loves people and does her best to make them feel at home. There is usually a warm turf fire burning in the guest's family room, or in the dining room during breakfast. We have stayed with Mary... More
