Just returned from having an Easter break at The River Mill, what can we say we absolutely loved it, the peace and tranquility was just what we were looking for. Perfectly rounded off with our wonderful hosts Theresa and Aidan who made us very welcome, and made us feel like it was our home as well. You have a wonderful... More

This beautiful B&B is run by a really wonderful couple. Our party of four arrived during the recent blizzards and they were so helpful - getting us through the snowdrifts to a wedding in Downpatrick. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious - enjoyed in a lovely mezzanine room which overlooks the countryside around the mill. Bedrooms were chic and spotless. Had... More

"Excellent" is a word which, over time, has lost some of its meaning, with modern superlatives tending to edge this rather old-fashioned description into the shade. Well, this B&B was truly excellent on every level whether by modern or any other standards. Van the Man might as well have crooned "Mammy never told me there'd be B&B's like this just... More

Three of us were over in Downpatrick for a family celebration and we were recommended the River Mill as a place to stay for 3 nights.

If you're looking for a great place to spend a few, relaxing days with great scenery, be sure to check out The River Mill B&B. The two days I stayed there were the best days of my visit to Ireland. The owners, Theresa and Aidan McAteer, converted a 1700's mill into an amazing B&B and their hospitality was superb. Charlotte... More

Great clean and roomy rooms, ensuite bathroom ( with wet room!!) helpful and lovely hosts to boot. Breakfasts were lovely. Good value for money. Aiden can also organise lifts and pick up so contact prior to staying if not in a car. Very helpful and made our stay so much more relaxed as a result.

Ok this place is a little of the normal path but it's well worth the stay. Make sure to call and get verbal directions because our GPS had us in a different place. The breakfast was unbelievable. We enjoyed the hosts and the rooms were beautiful. Super great place!!!!
