Irish Independent – “Group Getaways Have Gone Up a Gear”
The Irish Independent Weekend Travel section (June 2024) included Within the Village in its curated list of the 20 best group getaways for extended families and friends in Ireland and abroad.
The article praised the transformation of two former Roundstone townhouses — once a pub and guesthouse — into five luxury self-catering cottages that feel authentically Irish. Interiors balance rustic charm with modern elegance, using original architectural features, locally crafted furniture, and Burren Perfumery toiletries. Each cottage offers a unique bedroom layout, making them ideal for grandparents, parents, children, or groups of friends.
Sustainability and community connection are central to the concept, from Tweed Project textiles to the award-winning communal garden by Mark Grehan. Personal touches such as welcome refreshments and even a 30-bottle wine fridge for group celebrations were highlighted as part of the property’s signature hospitality.
With capacity for up to 29 guests, this location was recognised as a standout choice for multi-generational gatherings, offering shared spaces for connection alongside the privacy of individual homes.
