Roundwood House

WOW! If you have a chance to stay at this magnificent property do it! The hosts Paddy and Hannah and so lovely and all of their staff is kind, respectful, and polite. We found the house magical and the hospitality extended to us above and beyond. We had the 4 course dinner prepared by Paddy both nights of our stay and it was phenomenal. Paddy and Hannah took special care to prepare all the food with my special dietary restrictions. We were there around Christmas and the house was beautifully decorated with an enormous Christmas tree. The library was so inviting, and meeting Hannah's dad, Frank, was a treat! In the summer months, Paddy and Hannah organize plays to be put on in the library and/or outside. Roundwood House is not far from Dublin and I am certain to return!

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!

We had a fantastic meal this evening at Roundwood House. We sat a a shared table ( our choice) with seven other guests. The food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful and our fellow guests each had their own story to tell. Wonderful company and food. Would. Definitely recommend

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.

We spent two nights at the Roundwood House and enjoyed everything. Hannah , Paddy and team were so nice and eager to make our stay lovely. The home offered a glimpse into the past, with antique furnishings, art and the surrounding grounds and the home itself embracing what one would expect of a 280 year old home. Hannah is a wealth of knowledge about the area and always happy to help with directions, activities and history of all that Roundwood and the area has to offer. Paddy’s chef skills are fabulous, from the presentation to the flavours he deserves 5 stars. The four course meal was spectacular and the breakfasts delicious. The grounds offer lots of area to roam and explore and the library on the grounds is impressive. The main sitting area was a lovely place to have a drink and chat with other guests. The fire in the fireplace made such a homey feel. The team was always checking in to ensure we had what we needed. I would have loved to spend more time roaming the area and would certainly recommend anyone looking for a relaxed stay with great service and food to stay at Roundwood. Janice and Alan from Canada

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.
