Recognised as one of the Top 50 Places to Stay in Ireland, this Connemara retreat ranked No. 16 in the self-catering category, praised for its “restrained luxury” and thoughtful curation. The feature recounts how two friends transformed three historic Roundstone townhouses — including a former pub — into five individually styled accommodations that blend original stonework, locally sourced art, and artisan furnishings.
The interiors feature smoked oak kitchen panelling, Burren Perfumery toiletries, and works from celebrated Irish creatives such as Joe Hogan, Clíodhna Prendergast, Róisín Coyle, and Dorothy Cross. Guests enjoy views over the bay and the Twelve Bens, with a strong focus on sustainability and community. The property’s guest directory is packed with walking trails, food and sightseeing tips, and details of local makers.
