Of course, there is some paint coming off from some of the walls, of course the bathrooms are a bit old style, Roudwood House is a stately manor house after all, and you live literally with the owners. But this did in no way lessen my and my families delight in being there: nice area for walks and excursions, charming... More

When we booked this B&B - I couldn't wait to see it as it reminded me of a place from a Jane Austin novel. And it didn't disappoint. The house is lovely and our room was very comfortable. Hannah and Paddy made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed spending the evening with other guests from the UK and Australia.... More

Just back from a lovely nights stay at this fab 18th century house. Fantastic hosts, highlight has to be the food, which was absolutely delicious. Stayed in the houses at the back, modern clean and quaint. A real treat to wander around this property, you are made feel like it is your own, recommend for group getaways.

Dont look any further, you have found it. Roundwood house is amazing. Set in beautiful countryside, we were made to feel like kinds and queens for our stay. The hosts were both friendly and professional and the food was fabulous. I cannot recommend this place enough. I cant wait to go back. Angela from Dublin

We held our wedding reception in Roundwood House in January of this year. To say that merely that our expectations were surpassed would not do justice to how absolutely delighted we were with the way things went. We thought it would be very good, but it turned out to be very good multiplied by ten. We had roughly 60 adults... More

We stayed here for one night the only thing we wish we had of done different was book for longer. We were enchanted by the house, It was like stepping back in time and it's run by a warm and very attentive couple. There are geese, ducks, cats and a playful dog to greet you as you wander around it's... More

We spent just one night at Roundwood House, but would have happily spent a week there. The family who own/run it are delightful. The food is delicious. The weekend we were there a wedding was being prepared for - it made a delightful venue for such an event. The walks in the grounds were magical - so many hidden paths,... More

Staff so nice and food delicious. Rooms perfect size and are very clean apart from a few spiders in bathroom. Very nice walks threw the surrounding gardens and even have a swing set for their children but gave us permission to use.

We stayed at roundwood house to celebrate my mums 60th birthday, with six adults and three children. What a treat! We were made to feel so welcome, by Paddy and Hannah. Our rooms were lovely, and our meal on Saturday night was outstanding, as was obvious by our empty plates. After dinner, a guest really gets to enjoy what is... More

It's a very nice old property, it is in need of an extreme amount of work. Realise this would be very costly, but there are a lot of things that could be done that would not cost of lot but would improve it substantially, e.g. there is a long driveway to the house which is full of large potholes, locks...
