I almost don't want to review or rate Roundwood House as I want to keep it all to myself but that's just selfish when it's a business. Paddy and Hannah do everything in their power to make you feel welcome. Myself and a group of friends stayed around New Year for our own celebration and from the moment we arrived they made us feel at home. The food was gorgeous, the breakfast amazing and our party was memorable! See you next year.
Eileen and friends!

Happened on Roundwood when we were suddenly unable to find a place to stay on our way towards Dublin. Not knowing a bit about it, we requested "no dinner" and expected to find something suitable in the area.

When we arrived, we found the house, grounds and owners to be absolutely lovely. After some discussion about possible places to eat in the area, the owner offered to change his plans and make a meal for us if it suited us. We wholeheartedly agreed with this plan, and had an absolutely fantastic meal in the drawing room.

The rest of our stay was equally magical, highlighted by visiting all of the ducks, geese and the new pig the next morning. I cannot recommend highly enough. These people are doing great work and gave us a truly memorable experience.

My husband and I spent one night - B&B and dinner - in Roundwood House to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Roundwood House is a great antidote to impersonal sprawling hotels and more like visiting friends in old worldly elegant surroundings. Antiques and curiosities are everywhere but the house is not slick or highly polished, rather it has a charming lived-in feel. This is evident in the array of animals outside the house! I had been worried the house might be cold but it was toasty warm all the time.

Be prepared to eat with and get to know other guests, and your lovely hosts - it's all part of the experience. The food is high quality. Relaxing by the fire with a glass of port was a great finish to the evening.

I would have liked to have stayed longer and enjoy a rambling walk in the area. For visitors to Ireland, this is a really unique way of seeing a side of Irish life and at a great price too.

As we drove up, we were greeted by ducks and geese patrolling the property, very quaint. The house itself is incredible, the rooms are huge and accommodating, the food was exceptional, and the service was well above anything else. The hotel and rooms are very rustic, if you need to see freshly painted walls and new laminate flooring to be happy, don't stay here. The original plank flooring is incredible to look at just from the sheer size of the lumber. The condition of the hotel gives you the feeling of what it might have actually been like to stay there in the day... Tea was served in the study, and dinner in the dining room, both accompanied by huge fireplaces. The smell of the peat burning only takes you back to the day again. The food was exceptional, well prepared and thought out, and yes delicious. The owners and their children were an absolute pleasure to meet. Highly recommended.
