The owner, Una, is a fantastic host, making me feel welcome from the first moment.
I was visiting to take part in the annual Cootehill Fishing Festival competition, and this was the first time staying at the Riverside. Una is also one of the festival organisers so her local knowledge is unrivalled.
For fishermen, this is an ideal base, with a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day, and for those that want it, home-cooked dinner after a day on the lakeside. There is always an offer of a cup of tea or some soup when you arrive back in the evening.
For the anglers, most important there is an out-building to dry your fishing tackle after a wet day and a large fridge to keep your bait fresh.
To be fair, the decor and facilities may disappoint those who are expecting 'the Ritz', but in my experience the Riverside is typical of the local, friendly B&B you can expect in this area.
For any angler has not visited the Cootehill area, what's stopping you? The fishing is great!!
