Arguably one of the best Bed and Breakfast we have ever stayed, The River House is located in the quaint side of Ramsey in Isle of Man, surrounded by three acres of greenery and open space. Overlooking Snaefell Moutains, The River House was originally built in 1820 and have been completely renovated to modern times without disturbing the old charm.
How To Reach The River House
Ramsey is a coastal town located in the north of Isle of Man. It is the second largest town in Isle of Man, next to Douglas, and has the largest harbour in the island. Ramsey is easily accessible by bus and train (Manx Electric Railway). By road, the three major roads A2, A3 and A18 connects to Ramsey. A18 is the scenic route that takes you to the top of Snaefell Mountains.

The Rooms in The River House
The rooms are bright, beautifully decorated and well ventilated. Most of the bed and breakfasts have compact rooms, but the rooms in The River House are massive and super spacious. The curtain and bed linens are very tastefully chosen to match the wall colour.
The furniture and curtain drapes gave an elegant touch in the living room, and each of the chandeliers, lamps, wall hangings were very attractive and antique.
The kitchen itself is very huge, and the breakfast area is along the open garden overlooking the river. We got served a lovely tea on the afternoon along with fresh bake and some chocolates in a vintage cups and silverware.
Right next to the house is River Sulby, longest flowing river in the island. And as the tide is high, the water level grows, and ducks and swans come around to take a wee break in their garden. And as the tide goes low, they just follow the stream and go back. It was beautiful to watch them over from our room.
We sneaked in the garden area on the night of our stay to see the dark sky and full moon and it was absolutely gorgeous. We couldn’t capture the moon so well, but took a quick capture of Snaefell mountains and cloudy sky with some stars.
Other Rooms in The River House
Edward and Adrian are such sweet hosts, they took complete care of our needs, showed us around their house and cooked us great veggie breakfasts. They have wealth of information about local eat outs and places to see, and made great suggestions for our dinner. They even showed us the whole house and “it looked beautiful” would be an understatement. See for yourself.

We had absolutely fantastic time staying in The River House in Isle of Man, and am I allowed to say, that a little piece of my heart didn’t want to leave. Such a beautiful place it was, we felt home. Are you planning your visit to Isle of Man? You just know the best place you can stay in!

The B & B was indeed very dreamy! You should definitely experience this, and you will never go back to stay in a hotel 😀

I've always wanted to visit the Isle of Man! Looks like a great spot to explore the island from too, love the views from the room!

Isle of Man is absolutely gorgeous place, and Ramsey is a perfect place to base yourself to explore the isle. Douglas is the main town, but it's kinda touristy!
