“Lovely country house hotel. Interiors are warm and welcoming with brightly painted walls, oil paintings and four poster beds. Superb dining in the communal dining room, often with the hosts. Herb garden and book-filled sitting room. A treat. ”

Roundwood House, County Laois, Ireland

The whole slightly dotty house has great charm: part traditional, part bohemian, and beloved by its inhabitants.
