“Fantastic location, just a short walk from the harbor - Rounstone is stunning!”

Lots to do in the area - we did an e-bike tour, clay shooting lessons, kayaking and hill walking. ...

Lots to do in the area - we did an e-bike tour, clay shooting lessons, kayaking and hill walking. Just a couple of small niggles with the cottage: there are no heating controls, and it was often very cold. The owner has it set to come on twice a day (from the attached property), and in the colder months that isn’t enough. Also, we could not use the WiFi - we asked for the code a couple of times, but weren’t given the correct one. Carol, the owner, was warm and friendly. If the above two niggles were sorted, I would score higher.

“Roundstone perfect spot for a escape and best part of Ireland.”

Really enjoy the scenery, beaches, food and people and even the weather. House was excellent and great location for everything. Many thanks to Carole and for the delicious baking. Deirdre

“The location near Roundstone in Galway.”

We could take a five-minute walk to the town centre. The view from Benview cottage was wonderful.

“This is the second time that we have visited this cottage and we intend to go back!”

It is a superb location and the owners are friendly and helpful - they seem like friends now! The cottage is well decorated and maintained. Lovely view of mountains from front windows and close to shops, pubs etc. Connemara is absolutely beautiful and we found everyone we met very welcoming! Only disappointment was the lack of controls for the DVD player - it would be good for a new controller to be purchased

“We could not control the heating in the house and it would of been nice to have table and chairs outside the front of the house to look at the view.”

“Amazing holidays”

I have been coming to this area for over 40 years. The scenery is amazing no matter what the weather, the welcome from the community who live here is always warm and inviting and there is so much to see and do 1 week is never enough. The owners of this property are the nicest couple you could meet, and we always feel like one of the family when we visit. We've been twice in the last year, and are about to go again next month, with our annual trip in June now permanently pencilled in their diary. As long as out party size doesn't grow beyond 6 we won't be looking for anywhere else to stay

About the location

ROUNDSTONE, COUNTY GALWAY

Clifden 14.5 miles; Connemara National Park 25 miles; Galway 48 miles.

Roundstone, in the Connemara region of County Galway, lies on the western arm of Bertraghboy Bay. The entrance to Roundstone harbour is marked by a large stone, like an upturned bath tub, which is known as seals rock (Chloch na Ron) as seals like to clamber up onto it and bask in the sunshine. The bay itself is also often referred to as Roundstone Haven. Roundstone offers pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and a children’s playground, plus there is a traditional Irish night in the summer and a number of festivals which take place throughout the year. Roundstone is full of historical and geographical points of interest, including the bell tower of the Franciscan Monastery, now standing in the Michael Killeen Park, and the remains of a monument to St Brendan on Inishnee, a small island in Roundstone Bay. A five-minute drive away are Gurteen and Dog's Bay beaches, plus attractions in the area include horse riding, deep sea fishing, hill walking and cycling. Just eight miles from Roundstone is the Connemara Golf Club and further afield there is great scenery to enjoy either on foot, bicycle or in the car. The lively town of Clifden has lots of interesting things to see, while the Connemara National Park is just a little further away and the city of Galway can be reached in an hour’s drive.
