The perfect Christmas break at Roundwood House
How many times have you received a picture-perfect Christmas card depicting a cosy room decorated with fresh garlands, glorious countryside views out of the window and stockings hung by the fireplace?
You know that deliciously festive food and drink is waiting to be enjoyed in another room – and that’s after the whole family has enjoyed a brisk walk in the aforementioned glorious countryside, gently dusted with just the right amount of frost or snow.
Well, we may not be able to guarantee the frost and snow – and you might have to bring your own stockings – but the rest of this idyllic scene is just a Christmas booking away at Roundwood House.
We are warmly welcoming bookings in December and January for guests wanting to get away from it all in the run-up to Christmas, or to enjoy a few days away immediately afterwards (click HERE to check availability).
Festive food and drink
Whether you are planning a pre-Christmas break to get away from the planning madness, or a New Year getaway to start 2024 in style, food and drink are important aspects of any trip away. At Roundwood House, we firmly believe in the epicurean instruction to ‘eat, drink and be merry!’ 
Many of our guests say that the highlight of their stay is the home cooked fare, produced by Paddy using locally sourced ingredients – and served within the gorgeous surroundings of Georgian grandeur.
A recent guest had this to say about the food at Roundwood on TripAdvisor…
“Paddy’s chef skills are fabulous, from the presentation to the flavours, he deserves 5 stars. The four-course meal was spectacular and the breakfast delicious.”
Walking in a Winter wonderland
If you enjoy getting outside for some fresh air to blow away the cobwebs, make sure you have plenty of options planned for a fresh festive walk.
Options in the area include a perimeter walking route that takes in the native Irish woodland surrounding Roundwood House and leads you through frosty meadows and past trees that are over 300 years old.
Or, for a harder challenge that rewards you with wonderful snowy views and seasonal photo opportunities (weather permitting), you can choose one of several stunning looped walks in the nearby Slieve Bloom mountains.
Christmas shopping
For a pre-Christmas break, Roundwood House offers the ideal mix of a rural retreat and a practical base for completing your Christmas shopping.
There are several towns within easy driving distance offering local delicacies, unusual gifts and fun Christmas markets.
If you want to venture further afield, Kildare Village, a designer outlet shopping village featuring year-round reductions on an exclusive selection of 100+ international brands, is only 40 minutes away.
