Roundwood House

What a delightful place to stay in this area of Ireland🫶. The historic home itself is a treat to experience and so many lovely gems to enjoy on the property! The location is great for exploring Slieve Bloom & surrounding areas. Paddy, Hannah, their lovely staff, and their sweet dogs we’re warm, welcoming, & fantastic hosts. It was a cozy stay with tea & conversation by the fire every night. It was great to chat with both our hosts and other guests. The dinner was delicious and I definitely recommend adding that to your stay! Make sure to give time to enjoy the property & spend evenings by the fire just taking in the ambiance of this special place! Don’t miss out on the unique Library! That was a definite favorite of ours & we wish we had stayed longer. The breakfast was also a treat. Hannah gave us such great itinerary suggestions for the area🫶 We would absolutely stay again!

A phenomenal place to stay! You can feel the history. The hosts are the best, as is the food. Our dinner was as fine and elegant as can be had anywhere, including Paris, Rome, and Milan. For fishermen/women, you are very close to Irish Fly Craft. Jimmy is a true artist, and an excellent guide. The whole experience was exceptional, and a tremendous bargain! We had a party of eight, and will be booking every time we return to Ireland.

This place is special. We had a really emotional connection with fellow guests just minutes after arriving. It was a genuinely special moment, aligned by chance and giving me goosebumps whilst I am writing. We were shown to the Green Room, Georgian grandeur at its finest, and then to the drawing room for a pre dinner drink. The food is magnificent, served to all the guests at the same time. You can chose a private table, but the shared experience was a really great moment. The attention to detail, the attentivness of the staff, the timing of courses, the intuition of knowing when to step in was like a choreography. The staff were brilliant, friendly and most important looked happy with their work. Then, drinks in the drawing room and the treat of a Bowie classic from Paddy. How unfair is it that a pure artist in the kitchen gets to be this good on guitar and singing?! The following morning we looked around the library, the woodshed. Strange description, woodshed....its more like an art installation. Paddy and Hannah are great hosts. They are friendly, welcoming and they manage a brilliant experience for their guests. I defy anyone to not fall in love with the place. We will be back.
