is a warm, welcoming 1730’s house in a delightful setting at the foot of the unspoilt Slieve Bloom Mountains. The classical
Palladian facades hide a rich and elaborate interior, with strong
Georgian colours and an elegant Chinese Chippendale staircase.
Roundwood is a house of immense character and charm, filled with
antique furniture and paintings. Book lovers will be particularly
impressed by the family’s new Library of the History of Civilisation
and the house is surrounded by rambling wooded gardens and parkland. Dinner is prepared with great care and imagination each night.
The ingredients are always fresh and there is an extensive wine list.
