We are delighted to be featured in Irish Country Magazine as part of its Insider’s Guide to Roundstone.
In the article, our founders and childhood friends Maria Murphy, Keith Kissane and Lorna Kissane share what they love most about the village and reveal some of their favourite local places.
The guide invites readers to experience the quieter side of Connemara, from an early morning sea swim at Ervallagh Pier and a walk to Gurteen and Dog’s Bay to panoramic views from Errisbeg Mountain. It also highlights the seaweed baths and sauna overlooking the Atlantic, alongside boat trips, island visits and wildlife experiences on the surrounding coast.
Roundstone’s food and creative culture also take centre stage. The article celebrates freshly caught seafood, Connemara hill lamb, traditional pubs, welcoming cafés and memorable restaurants. Readers are also introduced to local craftspeople, including ceramic artist Seamus Laffan and master bodhrán maker Malachy Kearns.
Whether lively during the summer months or peaceful throughout winter, Roundstone offers a wonderful setting for slow travel, authentic experiences and a deeper connection with Connemara.
We are honoured to share some of the people, places and traditions that make our village so special with the readers of Irish Country Magazine.
