A family group went to Roundwood House for the weekend - it was the fourth time that I have been there in 10 years and this was the best visit yet. Upto know Frank and Rosemarie Keenan have been the hosts, but they were on holidays and their daughter Hannah and son in law Paddy were in charge. Any fears... more

Very relaxing stay in a lovely house. Service was excellent. Would recommend highly. Had a meal and it was of a very high quality. Wanted a short break in a relaxed Irish country house - and this fitted the bill to perfection. more

Roundwood provided my family one of the finest, most exceptional, restful, peaceful and beautiful stays of our adult lives. If you are looking for 24-hour, luxury service, perhaps you should book the Ritz Carlton (the one in Grand Cayman is particularly nice). If you want an authentic, lovely escape with real Irish hospitality in a real, unspoilt part of Ireland,... more

Thought this would be really special, and arranged our trip to include this midlands stop. Nice that is was so old, but could have been kept up a bit better. Felt a little gouged when we found out the locals get 25% off with their coupons. Not a good value for our money, but not a bad place to stay... more

We would like to state as a matter of fact that under no circumstances do "locals get 25% off with their coupons". Our rates are both maximum and minimum rates for ALL customers; they don't change for special dates or special events. Roundwood was originally a Quaker property and we totally embrace the Quaker tradition of a 'fair price'. Frank...

We spent 2 weeks touring England and Ireland, and Roundwood was by far the most memorable part of our journey. We stayed for 3 nights, which felt about right for visiting the Slieve Bloom Mountains and the neighboring towns and castles. Roundwood is a restored Georgian home, and is charming. We spent a great deal of time walking around the... more

One night with some close friends, terrific food and fine company wants you craving for more. Great hosts with real warmth and charm. Frank and Rosemarie really know how to make you feel welcome and have created a very relaxed environment at their fine house. We'll be back ! more

What a fabulous place to stay. My wife and I had two amazing days at Roundwood, walking in the Slieve Bloom Mountains and visiting Kilkenny. The accommodation, food and hosts were the best we had on our two week trip to Ireland. The House is from the Georgian era and is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful gardens (and animals). We... more

I’m a bit surprised to read all the previous raving reviews (Roundwood house is not in Wicklow btw). My husband and I stayed in Roundwood house in April 2007. The house and garden are lovely. We had gorgeous weather, but unfortunately there is no place to sit and enjoy the garden, though we could have a nice stroll after breakfast... more

My fiancé and I spent a lovely weekend at Roundwood House, Mountrath! In a beautiful region, an amazing house, warm and gracious hospitality and great food, the best we had in Ireland. Our room was spacious, elegant and very comfortable, but the house and its gardens offered so many pleasant corners hardly describable in a few lines. I would definitely... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel/B&B for 1 night. Having read earlier reviews I was expecting a very high standard and was therefore prepared to pay more than usual. We paid EUR 75 each (i.e. EUR150 for the 2 of us for the night) which was extremely expensive for what we got. An average B&B would cost about... more

We are very sorry to read that any guest has a disappointing stay at Roundwood. Of course the whole point of Trip Advisor is that reviewers must be free to say exactly how they feel, and we agree wholeheartedly with this principle. We would like to make two brief comments in response to MiaMe’s post. The first is regarding the...
