Guest Reviews

• Franziska (10/5): - Haus und Park sind außergewöhnlich und anheimelnd. Wir wurden mit Tee und frisch gebackenen Keksen im Kaminzimmer empfangen. Das Menu und das Frühstück waren köstlich und die Bedienung professionell und sehr nett. Der Spirit des Hauses ist familiär und offen. Hannah gab uns gute Empfehlungen für Wanderungen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt uneingeschränkt genossen! Danke!
• peter (10/5): Wonderful - Quintessential Irish hospitality with excellent food Nothing everything was perfect
• marion (10/5): A perfect stay, thank you Hannah. - My 2nd stay and just as perfect as the first time. A beautiful home and gardens with a warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and incredibly delicious food. Always great company at the dinner table. Absolutely nothing.
• Aisling (10/5): Beautiful old country house! - Such a beautiful place to stay. I stayed here between working and it was so comfortable and charming. It is a 1700s country house and its character is still felt. Thank you to Hannah and Marie who I met. The breakfast was so beautiful. The atmosphere; quaint. I would love to return!
• Mary (9/5): -
• Camilla (10/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Beautiful manor/grounds and gracious owner/staff - Roundhouse was wonderful! Gorgeous grounds, beautifully maintained old manor, delicious and generous breakfast. The owner and her husband were gracious and so friendly as well as their staff. We checked in a bit late (8pm) and were greeted with lovely tea in the drawing room before going to bed. Don't miss a visit to the beautiful library on the property that the owner's father built! Rooms very spacious and comfortable. They have the cutest dog that greeted us upon arrival as well! I am a travel advisor and plan to book clients here when booking Ireland travel. Nothing!! Just the fact that we didn't plan better to be able to stay 2 nights OR at least have arrived earlier to enjoy the grounds and a walk.
• Friedrich (8/5): Tolle Erfahrung in einem alten Herrenhaus. Man muss jedoch Abstriche beim Komfort machen. -
• Timothy (10/5): It is, by far, the best B&B I have ever stayed at in Ireland in over 14 years of visiting - You can not ask for a more idyllic setting for a manor house. Perfect in every way
• Molly (10/5): -
• Teresa (9/5): -
• George (10/5): -
• Colm (10/5): - Great welcome . Beautiful house in lovely setting
• Mike Gibbs (8/5): - friendly staff and good food
• Sandra (10/5): Magical, extraordinary! You are missing out if you don’t stay here! - The Roundwood House is the most magical place! You become immersed in the history of the time in this beautiful manor because the old home is filled with so many historical paintings, furniture and books. The library is something to be experienced! The drawing room with the fire in the fireplace was so cozy. Hannah and Paddy are wonderful . The dinner was incredible. We met the most interesting fellow travelers. This stay has become perhaps the best one on our three week trip. I didn’t want to leave!
• Graham (10/5): -
• richie (10/5): Excellent stay, with great hospitality and unique old feel of grandure - Excellent full Irish breakfast -coeliac friendly , classic old world charm
• maribé (9/5): - Old world atmosphere, lovingly cared for by owners. Lots of books to browse and lovely welcome with tea and homemade flapjacks. The dinner was excellent too.
• Cornel (10/5): Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis - Das Haus und das Anwesen sind wunderschön, wenn auch teilweise etwas ins Alter gekommen. Sanitäre Anlagen scheinen aber neu zu sein. Die Landlady und das Personal sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Abendessen war von hervorragender Qualität und sehr unterhaltsam, da man gemeinsam mit den anderen Gästen an einem großen Tisch sitzt. Auch der Whiskey danach im Wohnzimmer am offenen Kamin mit Holzfeuer war sehr schön. Die Lage ist etwas abgelegen, aber da ein wunderbares Abendessen und sonstige Bewirtung im Haus angeboten wird, besteht keine Notwendigkeit in einem Resraurant essen zu gehen.
• Brenda (10/5): -
• Romain (10/5): Travel back in time at roundwood house - Roundwood House is truly exceptional, a gorgeous historic property that is beautifully maintained and decorated with impeccable taste. From the moment you step inside, you feel as though you’ve been transported back in time. What truly elevates the experience is the warmth and graciousness of Hannah and Paddy, who welcomed us into their estate with genuine kindness and hospitality. Their passion for the house and its history shines through in every detail. The food surpassed all expectations, every dish was carefully prepared, delicious, and memorable. The grounds are breathtaking and an absolute pleasure to wander; calm, quiet, and full of charm at every turn. It is the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and soak in a truly magical atmosphere. We left already dreaming of our return and without a doubt we will be back again.

• Curtis (10/5): Best stay in Ireland - This beautiful house was our absolute favorite place to stay in Ireland! Paddy and Hannah are incredibly sweet and hospitable. We loved meeting other guests and taking walks on the grounds with Fauna, the puppy. Breakfast was delicious—you can really tell how much care goes into preparing the food. And we haven’t stopped talking about the flapjacks! Overall, we highly recommend this stay. It’s a little bit off the main road but absolutely worth the drive!

This was our first night in Ireland after a long night of traveling and they helped us check in early, ensure we were fed delicious homemade food, and answered all our questions. Nothing- everything was great!

• Andrew (10/5): The perfect Irish country hotel experience - We were immediately made feel welcome by the owners from the moment we arrived and were blown away by the beauty of the hotel and it's surroundings. The hotel itself has such a warm, welcoming feel and the staff are the kindest and most considerate that one could ask for. The library was a real treat for those who are interested in books and an elegant environment to enjoy a quiet coffee and recover from travelling. The dinner was exceptional and was one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling part of our stay. The rooms have a very classical feel with beds that were so comfortable they make you want to snooze your alarm several times. I would recommend anyone who is passing through this part of the country to stay and experience this absolutely wonderful Irish home. We will definitely be back to stay here

The breakfast was yogurt with granola and then full Irish breakfast if you wanted. Good Irish tea Although we only stayed one night we thoroughly enjoyed it One group stayed at one of the cottages and didn’t like the facility. However the owners moved the mom into the main house without charge

On top of the amazingly beautiful mansion, with its perfect decoration to make us feel at home, the wonderful food, and the luxurious rooms, Hannah is a great host. I've felt welcome from entering the building. Even when we were a few hours early for check-in, we got some tea to enjoy in the library room. It all was just lovely and so greatly enjoyable. I'll try to return in the future!
