Clean home and beautiful location on harbor with great views. Location of town was a bit more than we anticipated away from Galway. Difficult driving to get to location and we were there late September: many places were closed for the season. Nice check-in website and we were met personally by someone who checked up in.

Perfect location

Can't beat this location on the main road through Roundstone. The harbor views are spectacular. The accommodations were suitable. The beds were not the most comfortable and we did struggle a bit with the hot water when bathing the kids. But overall it was a great stay for our family. Host was great!

Fantastic House, Ideal for a family, Great Location

We had a lovely stay in Roundstone. The house was very well equipped and was spotless. The layout of the accommodation suited us perfectly too. We were delighted with its location in the heart of the village and the views were fabulous. Paddy was very welcoming and had all the required Covid 19 notices and equipment in place when we arrived. We will definately be back for another holiday in Roundstone and will contact you to make a booking of this or another property in the location.

Perfect location with fantastic views.

This is a 3 story 'cottage' on the main Street in Roundstone, a perfect location overlooking the harbour and with fantastic views from living room and every bedroom. Clean, spacious and very comfortable, but some areas (the bathrooms in particular - (there are 4)) could do with a little TLC. Small shops/supermarket and cafes are close at hand and O'Dowd's Seafood restaurant is only a few steps away, with the Shamrock pub (with Wifi) only a very little further. The owner, Paddy, is very helpful and friendly and it's certainly well worth staying there. We had a very enjoyable week.

Sehr geräumiges schönes Häuschen direkt am Hafen - trotzdem absolut ruhig!

Sehr netter Vermieter, das Haus lässt in seiner Ausstattung keine Wünsche offen. 1 min Fußweg zum Ortskern mit Shops und Pubs. Parken direkt vor dem Haus, 5 min mit dem Auto zu zwei wunderschönen Stränden. Heizung des Hauses super, nach 5 min ist das Haus warm! Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Thank you!

ROUNDSTONE COTTAGE 236

Roundstone Cottage 236 is a beautiful, and seems to be newly renovated, 3 floor apartment with a lovely view. The cottage consists of most essentials needed for a good stay. There is 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, of which the bathrooms are well equipped with lovely showers, which are sparkly clean and comfortable. Wifi and a dishwasher would have been great to have. We loved the little back terrace and the view of the mountainous area, so a table and chairs to sit there and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the peacefulness of it all would be lovely. We would recommend that when planning your trip to Roundstone, which is a lovely, quaint little town and very much worth the visit, especially the little harbour, Gurteen and Dog’s Bay beaches and surrounding areas in Connemara, make sure you buy groceries on your way there in Galway or in Clifden, as there is not much in Roundstone itself. We bought groceries at the Supervalu in Clifden and it was a good, well stocked shop. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage tremendously and would gladly recommend it. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

Review

The house is in a very good location, however there could be a lot attention to detail and comfort. Things such a towel rails, somewhere to hang coats, pictures / soft furnishings were missing and made the place lack any homely or loving feeling.
