Overall Ratings & Reviews Rathmore House

Margaret was extremely accommodating. It’s a beautiful house with such a heartfelt story and beautiful family behind it. Would definitely recommend if coming to Baltimore

Lovely stay in a quiet place overlooking the sea.

I highly recommend Rathmore House! The host is exceptionally welcoming, making for a warm atmosphere. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer stunning ocean views. Breakfast features a great selection of delicious options, perfect for starting the day. This B&B is ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape from city life, just a short drive from the Baltimore Beacon. If you're looking for a serene getaway with fantastic hospitality, Rathmore House is the perfect choice!

Best bed and breakfast EVER. Marguerite is the sweetest host and takes pride in her beautiful home and property, she also cooks the most beautiful and delicious Irish breakfast. We highly recommend The Rathmore house. 5 stars!

Friendly staff, good breakfast. Enjoyed the flowers in the garden.

The breakfast was very nice. Very nice views. Free parking. We booked a 'double room, 1 double bed' and were given 2 single beds. The room was VERY cold as the heating was only on very low. The bathroom was even colder as there was no heating at all. There were electric blankets on the beds which helped a little but we didn't sleep very well. The room was rather dated and could do with being modernised. The soundproofing isn't great. The water in our jug in our room didn't look very clean. Whilst the house is essentially only a 20 minute walk to Baltimore, the walk is very dangerous so we had to drive. We couldn't get a taxi for less than 20 Euro and there didn't appear to be any public transport. This obviously limited what we could do in the evening, without having to drive.

Marguerite is an absolutely lovely host and her place is amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody in the area, and I wish we could of stayed longer. First Marguerite is so friendly and accommodating. We arrived right at the end of check in (2000/8pm) due to taking country roads instead of the main ones on accident. I messaged her and she immediately responded saying it was not a problem. She gave us a warm welcome upon arrival. We've been traveling for 6 months straight and never felt more at home than at this B&B. The room is incredibly comfy, the beds have heated blankets which is lovely during the winter night. The place was nicely decorated and everything was clean. It was also very nice having an ensuite restroom. She provided towels, standard Toiletries, water, tea and coffee. Also, the seaview is an amazing add on. It was so lovely waking up and seeing the water, grazing cattle, and the natural greenery. Breakfast was outstanding, especially since its included free of charge. Everything was tasty and well cooked. I had sausages, eggs, bacon and various breads (most of which were homemade). My partner had the full Irish Breakfast, which was also delicious. There are also many other options, but definitely recommend these choices. If youre looking for a true B&B experience this is the place. Everything was perfect and if were ever back in the area this will be the first place we return to.

The property is lovely and has a wonderful view of the bay. It sits up on a hill so getting to it is very steep! The host was wonderful and the room was bright and comfortable with a nice bathroom. We left before breakfast so I can't comment on it.

Very welcoming and friendly host. Lovely breakfast. Beautiful views from the house, great location. Close to Baltimore. Would recommend to anybody going to the area.

Went for a mini break to Cork and stayed here for one night! Marguerite was so welcoming and professional! The view from our room over looking the harbour was amazing, the room was lovely and spotless! Breakfast was delish! Will definitely be back here again.

Lovely welcome, beautiful view from the room looking over the sea. Tasty large breakfast

Fab view excellent location food great for swimming

Very nice property. Great view. Close to the pier.

Hosts were very accommodating to us and even allowed our friends in a caravan to park on the property

The Rathmore House, as many reviewers stated, did serve the BEST home-made Irish breakfast, but the house itself is pretty old and out in the country where you could easily smell the cow manure right outside the house. The room we stayed at was pretty roomy, but the bathroom was small and cold. We booked it for the breakfast and we got what we looked for.

This was one of the best B&B's we ever stayed at. Hosts were wonderful. We will definitely stay there again

Best Breakfast we had in Ireland! However the building is noisy (you can hear the other clients if they speak loudly)

It was amazing Margaret was so nice. .Would recommend the Rathmore House to anyone going to Baltimore.Wonderful food, rooms were wonderful

Our hosts were excellent and always ready and willing to help make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Wonderful breakfasts!
