    The cottage is warm and welcoming and the owners have been incredible in assisting with sending back some notebooks we left - with kindness and such grace The cottage is well stocked - all you could need and the position could not be more perfect. Worth every euro.

    A cosy and comfortable house, with lovely artwork and good facilities, both within house and outside in the lovely terrace garden. The only thing that would improve the stay is some hooks downstairs for coats which are sadly occasionally needed in the west of Ireland!

    We had a lovely stay in Sandy Heels in Roundstone. This house is very tastefully decorated and has a lovely little paved garden out the back with garden furniture which was beautiful during the hot weather.

    We had a real good time in the small town of Roundstone. Rhe Cottage is also small, but very good equipped. Eating and warm water was a bit complicated to start, but at least it worked. We enjoyed the Pubs and restaurants and the wonderful surroundings. We would come again.

    The house was perfect for us, location second to none. So comfortable with beautiful view out to the harbour. Only downside was fridge inside shelf broken and double bed could do with a new mattress. Nothing than can’t be fixed. We are already booked in again next summer.
