We had a truly wonderful stay at Riverdale House! The room was beautiful, extremely clean and well prepared for guests. Neil and Avril were so friendly and warm, and gave great recommendations for local experiences! Neil even wrote a detailed list of a west coast driving tour for us to embark on (which we did!) and it was out of this world! Highly recommend this lovely B&B - we will be back! Caitlin & Josh

Gleeson's Townhouse & Restaurant was the highlight of hotels (12) during a three weeks trip in Ireland. We were met with tea and scones (my ones favorite of the trip). Dinner was an amazing selection of food. Enjoyed relaxing in the restaurant and didn't feel rushed. Breakfast was another winner. It's not that it was the newest or nicest, but it was the fact that it was the very best overall because of the accommodations, staff, cafe and bar/restaurant. The renovations the made on their...

Polite and accommodating staff. Grounds are absolutely beautiful for golfers or families, alike. 20 minutes away from Mullingar and 5 minutes from Tyrrellspass, with shopping, pubs, historical sites (Belvedere, Lake Ennell) nearby. Spacious rooms allow for plenty of room to spread out and enjoy some privacy. Close to all highways to get you where you need to go. Highly recommend for those looking for a taste of Ireland with modern amenities.

Coming from the states with extensive travel experience, I can say that it is shocking to have a hotel where every feature feels like the main feature. The restaurants and bar are self sufficient - they do not seem to need the hotel to exist, very uncommon in my experience. In fact, it was clear that there were regular customers there, making me feel very at home. To that point, the staff was extremely courteous and informative of local events.

Wonderful quaint hotel. I was enjoying a beer after work and a Christmas party broke out. Santa, kid choir, snow outside, parents, grandparents were all enjoying the festivities.

I have nothing but good words to say about the Bloomfield staff. I needed to attend a funeral in Mullingar during one of the worst snow storms of the last hundred years.I stayed in the Bloomfield during this time and the staff were kind and attentive.I would particularly like to single out Orla and the lovely girl from Slovakia.
At one point. Orla (a Westmeath native) who is a very slight girl, marched up to me in the lobby, with shovel in hand, and said that she was ready to help me dig out...
