Hotel & Catering Review (Issue 3, 2024) spotlighted Within the Village as a standout addition to Ireland’s high-end short-term rental market. The feature charts its transformation from three historic 200-year-old Roundstone houses — including a former pub — into five boutique townhouses that showcase the finest of Connemara’s materials, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage.
The concept, launched after a soft opening in September 2023, draws inspiration from the Italian Albergo Diffuso model, embedding guests in village life while delivering pared-back, design-led luxury. Sustainability is at the heart of the project — from using locally sourced stone, timber, and textiles to collaborating with makers such as Paddy O’Mally (concrete countertops), Roundstone Ceramics, The Burren Perfumery, and Joshua Gabriel (bespoke furniture).
Each townhouse retains unique architectural details, from vaulted pub ceilings to exposed stone walls and sweeping views over Roundstone Bay, Inishnee, and the Errisbeg mountains. The property is open year-round to extend the region’s tourism season, offering both individual rentals and exclusive hire for up to 29 guests — ideal for retreats, celebrations, and private events.
