B&B Accommodation
Down an avenue roofed with trees and dappled with sunshine lies Roundwood House, an eye-pleasing Georgian House dating from the 18th century. This Palladian villa is gorgeous inside, with high ceilings, great windows, authentic period pieces and architecture. The floorboards are like the deck of a galleon: ancient, well-trodden but comforting. A “don’t touch” museum it is not. It’s a guest house and restaurant, and while the house is old the vibe is young. Its owners, Hannah and Paddy Flynn, have taken over the running of the house from Hannah’s parents, who ran it for almost three decades. The atmosphere is relaxed, laid-back and mellow...

If you’re looking for an Irish Country House experience, where life moves at a slower pace, and memories of the nine to five can be easily erased, you have come to the right place.
When you stay in Roundwood, you don’t feel like you’re staying in a hotel, but rather in a 300 year old house with beautiful architectural features, large sash windows, bright heritage colours, open fires and more books than you could read in a lifetime. Throw in some fresh country air, excellent food and wine, as well as music courtesy of Paddy if you're so inclined, and you will depart feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to take on the world again.
Step Back in Time...
