Our stay at Roundwood House was perfect! Hannah and Paddy are lovely hosts and have wonderful staff and family to make guests feel at home. Very special to celebrate the start of the New Year there with delicious food and great craic! We look forward to visiting again and taking longer walks.
A group of us visited last weekend and we all had such a lovely time. I was first to arrive and spent some time in the beautiful drawing room chatting with Hannah, figuring out our Galway connections!
Every room has such character. The bedrooms are fabulous, the service is fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and breakfast. Everything was top notch, would love to return on a family gathering at some stage.
Thanks Hannah and Paddy!
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 …
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 …
Wife and I treated my sister to a couple of nights here as a big birthday present. Roundwood House has a wonderful ambience and if you are unable to relax here then ……. There is a wonderful informality about the place and you feel as …
Fantastic Georgian family house. Hannah and Paddy are phenomenal host, welcoming warm and knowledgeable of the area.
Paddy certainly knows his way around a kitchen serving a meal that would not be amiss in any top restaurant.
Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
I don't often write reviews, but felt compelled on this occasion.
Before we even arrived, I had e-mailed Hannah and felt very welcome at Roundwood House. On arrival, the house looked absolutely stunning, and Hannah and Paddy were both lovely, warm people.
The food was incredible. We had the 4-course menu on Saturday night, which didn't shy away from our vegetarian request and could have easily been served in a high-end restaurant. On Friday night, we were delayed and arrived late at 9pm, a little hungry, and were welcomed with soup, homemade bread, cheeses with homemade crackers and chutney, and a mouthwatering dessert by the fire. The rooms were large and luxurious - we were three people, 1 couple and 1 single, so the room with a double and single bed suited perfectly. On walking into the room, Hannah kindly asked if we "wanted a third bed" which was just about the nicest thing to offer. We declined, but I am still curious as to what she would have done if we said yes. Massive original fireplaces dotted the building and were perfect to cosy up beside and read a book, or sit beside in the evening with some local liquers and a game of cards.
Only an hour drive from Dublin, but down the back roads of Laois, which felt very rural. Close to Slieve Bloom mountains, where we went for a lovely 2-3 hour walk. Hannah and Paddy also directed us to Cathole waterfall (10 min drive) for an icy Winter dip, which we loved. Small villages nearby with cute pubs (Hogan's in Coolrain - small, thatched roof, lovely staff), and very close to Portlaoise nearby for additional food options if you need.
Overall an excellent value stay in an 18th century home. Definitely recommend for a peaceful, relaxing weekend.
I can't say enough good things about Roundwood House! The hospitality & service were wonderful - Hannah & family really make you feel like you're visiting old friends :) The grounds are beautiful with lots of lovely areas to explore from the historic barn/wood storage to the perimeter path (bring boots as the ground is likely to be wet) and even dogs, chickens, geese, etc. The house itself is gorgeous with so many historical details intact and is positively bursting with charm, books and art. We loved relaxing in the drawing room while reading books about Irish Manor houses (many of which feature Roundwood House), sipping tea, and eating delicious flapjacks. If you're looking for thoroughly modern accommodations, this is not the place for you, but if a 300 year old manor with all the ensuing quirks & charm sounds delightful, then don't hesitate to book your stay. And make sure to get dinner at least one night here, it's high-end restaurant quality for sure!!
Pure magic. Off the beaten path and grateful for that. Flirt with historic Ireland, appreciate lively music and divine 4 course dinners, delightful guests and the most gracious hosts. It was like a dream.
