Exceptional Dinner!

Dining at Roundwood House was a highlight of our stay. We enjoyed a communal dinner where each course was beautifully presented and delicious. Paddy's culinary prowess was evident in every bite, especially the exquisite vegetarian options. Absolutely wonderful experience!

My stay at Roundwood House was truly exceptional! The warm hospitality from Paddy and Hannah made me feel like part of the family, while the meals served were nothing short of gourmet, easily some of the best I've ever had. I loved the historic charm of the manor and the beautiful grounds, but I did miss having a bit more connectivity to stay in touch with the outside world. Overall, a wonderful experience that's hard to beat!
