Riverfront Apartments at The Blue Goat Ramelton

The property is attractive, warm, and well appointed. It also has nice views of the river and is atop a great shop with cheese, baked goods, coffee, and fine food. Des the shop owner and staff were all very welcoming.

The pub behind the property was noisy until late one of the evenings.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful stay, our riverfront apartment was spacious and immaculately presented. The beautifully curated objet d’art makes the apartment feel very special, like staying in a friend’s very tasteful home. Des and his team were extremely welcoming, generous, knowledgeable and fun hosts, who looked after us very well. We also felt very lucky to have the Blue Goat Deli as our larder, we will definitely return.

We liked everything.

An outstanding stay. Des G has done an amazing job of bringing these beautiful buildings in Ramelton back to life. The Blue Goat shop has the most delicious cheese, wine, coffee, food, art and artefacts and all the most delicious food you might need to stay upstairs, in one of two lovingly curated apartments. The apartments are more like homes: filled with a lifetime of interesting books, art, games (including a scrabble dictionary!), McMutt cushions and throws…and a fully equipped kitchen that’s a home from home. When we arrived, we were surprised with a delicious bottle of organic red wine, a carefully prepared box of cheese, apple chutney and delicious chorizo. The best arrival gift I’ve ever tasted. Outside there is the most serene view of the River Lennon, in which you can see the clear reflection of the Blue Goat building. All nestled in the tightly bound, warm, friendly and well located Ramelton, where you can explore the country market, Green Door Vintage clothing and Conway’s bar. I was barely home and I’ve booked my next trip!

It was exceptional in every way. Comfortable very well equipped spotless and perfectly located.

Location was perfect with a river view. My daughter and I stayed during the Ramelton Lennon Festival so the town was buzzing with a small fairground outside of the apartments, great live music, parades and all sorts of fun activities. The artisan food store and deli, attached to the apartments, was an absolute joy, stocking an array of amazing cheeses and wines, as well as many other delights, including beautiful paintings. Des, the proprietor of the apartments and store was a lovely gentleman and extremely helpful, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Last, but by no means least, was the beautiful apartment with artistic decor which was absolutely spotless, making our stay an extremely pleasurable one.

Whilst it was not a problem for my daughter and I, the live music which is played late at night during the festival, could be disruptive to anyone who values their early night sleep.

Apartment is beautifully furnished, spacious and very comfortable, excellent location.

Beautiful location and beautifully renovated building, the apartment was so comfortable and joy to stay in. Artisan cafe downstairs all curated by Des who went out of his way to ensure my stay was great and it was.

That I had to leave

The location looking out over the river was superb. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, with great art on the walls and an impressive array of books. The kitchen was very well equipped and the knives were sharp (which is rare in self-catering apartments). Des, owner of the apartment and the Blue Goat delicatessen on the ground floor, sells a sumptuous array of cooked meats, Irish cheeses, wine, chocolates and coffee and is the perfect host.

Easier access after the shop was closed. A little more information on arrival about controlling the heating and hot water.
