This cottage is on the main street through Roundstone so you can walk to the nearby restaurants and pubs and grocers. The views of the harbor are beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped. The dryer didn't seem to work well but there are clothes lines for air drying. Paddy is a very responsive and kind host. We appreciated the fresh milk and tea upon arrival. We rented the entire building (there were 6 of us staying there) so our family was very comfortable. Keep in mind it is a 3 story building so pay attention to the stairs with young children and seniors. (However, there is 1 room on the main floor off of the kitchen)
Roundstone is a very friendly village nestled in the heart of Connemara and we were made to feel very welcome by everyone. We loved Gurteen and Dog's Bay beaches (you can drive or walk to them), especially with the unusual heat Ireland was experiencing at the time of our visit. The water is crystal clear.
Pat Conneely will take you out for fishing/boating excursions.
Christina Lowry at Woods grocer/St. Joseph B&B is also a wealth of information about local activities/history. Joe King at King's Bar served us the best pint of Guinness!
Go down the road to the Roundstone Ceramics studio of Rose O'Toole & Seamus Laffan for jewelry and pottery.
Our Lady Star of the Sea is a lovely Catholic church around the corner.
We enjoyed our stay in Roundstone and it is a beautiful location to explore from as well: Clifden, the Connemara National Park (12 bens), Kylemore Abbey, Alcock & Brown 1st transatlantic flight, Marconi's labs, and other County Galway gems.
