Encircled by stunning scenery and packed with earthy appeal, this ocean bound oasis beckons you to swap life’s routine endeavors for a well-deserved breakaway.

Three beautiful bedrooms accommodate ample sleep space for up to six guests, with a sprawling super-king master located on the first floor, and bedrooms two and three - also super-king - on the ground floor. For those that like to freshen up before hitting the hay, all of the bedrooms impress with their very own en-suite bathrooms. Additionally, there is a shared bathroom on the first floor.

This idyllic retreat boasts a suite of swoon-worthy extras, with the likes of warm wooden accents, and earthy textures there to bring the outside in. Adding to that calming ambience, a palette of crisp whites and soothing neutrals exist to instill a sense of serenity. It’s all about the detail, here, with a commitment to sustainability evident throughout the property. Natural textiles, including the sustainable tweed throws and cushions, have been sourced from local suppliers, and the outstanding beauty that surrounds them is reflected in every considered touch.

Begin each day with a freshly-brewed coffee on the balcony before swapping your pajamas for walking gear and exploring the spectacular surrounding scenery. The sea and mountain views are sure to enrich your soul, meanwhile that fresh ocean air will leave you feeling instantly invigorated. Suitably refreshed, retire back to your luxurious retreat and take full advantage of all that’s on offer. From the elegant open-plan kitchen and living area to the Inish Living luxury bed linen exclusively designed using 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell, in each of the bedrooms. This minimalistic nook beckons you to strip things back and appreciate the beauty of the great outdoors.

Outdoor communal area

Imagined and designed by award-winning landscape gardener, Mark Grehan, the communal outdoor area has been built with the intent to bring guests together. An opportunity to truly appreciate those breathtaking sea and mountain vistas, retreat to this perfectly-manicured space and relish a momentary escape from village life.
A celebration of nature’s beauty, each and every detail has been carefully considered to honour the local surroundings. Flora and fauna sourced from Connemara have been added to the garden, with the addition of excavated local stone inciting an authentic touch of history.

A member of the Guest Relation team will be on site to greet you if you arrive before 6pm. If you arrive after 6pm the key will be left in a key box outside with clear instructions and the show around of the property will take place in the morning.

During the renovation project, the owners collaborated with local craftspeople and used sustainable materials to preserve the building's architectural heritage whenever possible. They made deliberate choices for every aspect of the project, including working with suppliers like Inish Living, who offer the Tencel Lyocell Bed Linen range made sustainably from wood pulp. Additionally, the pottery in each kitchen is handmade by local potter Seamus Laffan, based at the end of the village who you can visit daily with his potter’s wheel, allowing you to purchase his wares to take home as souvenirs.

Location

The neighbourhood

Often referred to as Ireland’s most picturesque village, Roundstone lies on the western arm of Bertraghboy Bay in Connemara, approximately 48 miles from the bustling metropolis of Galway City, also known as the prettiest village in Ireland according to Condé Nast in 2022.

There is a collection of four pubs in the village, one next door serving food (closed November and January), Vaughans (open April to October), Kings open year-round for drinks only, and O’Dowds open year round serving both food and drink.
