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!
