Rivendell is a characterful, older guesthouse offering generally clean, comfortable rooms and widely praised cooked breakfasts, with friendly staff, but many reviews note remote phone check-in with no on-site receptionist and an exterior that looks tired.
Rooms vary in size and style, with some dated touches and occasional minor noise near entrances or outside areas. Cleanliness is mostly solid, though a few guests mention dusty carpets, bathroom odors, or a need for deeper cleaning and general maintenance. Expect a simple, good-value stay with classic charm and hands-off service.

Easy to sign in if no one there. First class service, especially in our circumstances for a family bereavement. No fuss. Excellent parking facilities. Breakfast was very good indeed. Would recommend whether holiday, business, or pleasure.

The stay was ok, it was self checkin when arriving, on the outside the residence looked quite rundown, plenty of parking, easy to access. Rooms were cozy and clean. Unfortunately there was a smell of cooking oil throughout the whole place which was not pleasant, pillow were also not great, it could be good to have variation of pillows of the 4 that were on the bed, they were all the same. Breakfast was not good, coffee was very weak. Could have been good to have some more continental items like croissants, or fresh rolls with toppings available.

Nobody greeted us as we had to let ourselves in via a key safe & it felt creepy on entrance. The heating made banging noises which was annoying. I don’t think the hosts know as they are not on site in the evening. Breakfast was lovely and it has plenty of free parking. The building is quite run down & needs some renovation work.

Stayed in one of the outside rooms. Was warm , pleasant clean and private. Only thing was whichever room attached to my bathroom I could hear toilet pulled and shower going rather annoying. Rattling of the stones on drive everytime a car went in or out. But all in all very pleasant stay and breakfast is absolutely lovely.

The property needs a bit of TLC on the outside of the windows. I am not a fan of nobody on site, although the information given to gain access works seamlessly. My room was comfortable especially the bed. The bathroom needed a deeper clean around the shower. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and a lovely choice.

We arrived at the property with the door locked, no lights on. Had to phone a number to acquire the keys to get in were given a code to do this. Eventually arr into our room. Very shabby, bathroom smelly, lavatory seat was loose all in all very disappointing. The whole room needed a steam clean , the bed was a very small double, sadly we hardly slept. Having said all if that the lady serving in the breakfast room was very pleasant, breakfast was definately average. We wont stay there again. Whoever owns the property need to up there game . Apologies for being so blunt but it needed to be said.

The stay was acceptable for one night. It’s an older home and has that older home musty smell. Our room was stuffy, no AC and we woke up hot very often. However, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast good. Service was friendly.

Can't comment on check-in staff as there wasn't any, need to call a number to check yourself in. Bathroom was clean and modern, the room however needs a major refresh and upgrade. Carpet was very dusty and we had lingering pet/dust allergy symptoms. Breakfast chef was very nice and welcoming and made your breakfast to order.

Serious problem on phone when trying to enter the building due to the lady on line unable to explane that the room key and front door keys were in the lock box. I discussed this with the manager the following day and he accepted that the lady did have problems in explaining things. Note that anyone arriving without an operating telephone would not be able to get the code for the lock box!!!

This was better on the inside than it looked outside. We arrived in the rain and were surprised at no staff on site. You need your mobile phone to call for the key box code and to be told which key to take. Outside looked a bit shabby but inside was ok. Original art deco interior was interesting. Room was clean but needs better curtain rail. Tea coffee and bottle of water. Quiet. Breakfast was good. Personal service cooked to order after buffet cereal etc. Good value as we were just staying a night on the way to Belfast.

Stayed for two nights, travel lodge it isn't. Quite quaint in an oldie worldy way. A bit threadbare in places. Don't expect the personal touch on booking in as there no-one there to greet you. You have to phone them to get a cade for key box then let yourselves in. Ist cooked full breakfast was dreadful. Not very warm, bacon was a dried up, and hard,two sausages were black and overcooked. The second day the cooked breakfast was well presented and delicious.

You have to phone them to get a cade for key box then let yourselves in. Ist cooked full breakfast was dreadful. Not very warm, bacon was a dried up, and hard,two sausages were black and overcooked. The second day the cooked breakfast was well presented and delicious.
Stayed for two nights, travel lodge it isn't. Quite quaint in an oldie worldy way. A bit threadbare in places. Don't expect the personal touch on booking in as there no-one there to greet you.

Breakfast was very good. Room was clean.Pillows not so good like a slab of concrete and towels were more like a hand towel to shower with and very thin. But overall a pleasant stay.

If you like a rusty mirror moody bathroom toilet handle not working shower cubicle rusty and black on the steel frame cold water tap not working properly stained bedroom walls and wooden window frames rotting then this is the place for you. Couldn’t understand the lady who finally let us in but the gentleman serving breakfast was charming and very very nice.
