1 Bedroom House in Mountrath

The Writer's Cottage is a tiny old stone cottage for two, tucked away in the corner of the Kitchen Garden on the early Georgian estate of Roundwood House. It sits under a giant oak tree and provides a complete escape from the the hustle and bustle of modern living. Travel writer, Pol O’Conghaile, lists it in the Irish Independent as one of the “ten best Irish hidey-holes guaranteed to erase memories of the nine to five”.

Summary: I have to preface this with an *. I had booked the gardener's cottage but there was some sort of booking mishap and the cottage was double booked. To their credit they gave me a room in the main house which was very nice. It was technically an up-grade and there was no charge. I would have like the solitude of the cottage, but I am not upset as I had a lovely time. You should most definitely get dinner. The food was exceptional. I enjoyed interacting with the other guests and the host over conversation in the drawing room. I was also able to find a bit of the solitude I was looking for with a walk around the grounds and a few hours spent in the very nicely appointed library. I think the library was my favorite space on the property. I would definitely come back again and perhaps stay an extra day or ten.

Summary: Stayed here for my last night in Ireland after a week long trip. It was honestly the perfect way to end my vacation. Had the writers cottage all to myself and the fire was already going when I arrived. It was exactly the cozy quiet night I was looking for!

Summary: The writers cottage was very comfortable and quaint. Hannah and Paddy were wonderful hosts with lots of good suggestions on things to see during our stay. If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away, but central on the island to be able to do day trips from, I highly suggest this beautiful place!

Summary: It was such a delight to drive up to the idyllic manor house, be greeted by some very friendly puppies and farm animals, and wind our way back to the cottage. We loved that a fire was already burning in the stove when we arrived, and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent wifi connection. We would definitely recommend this lovely property!
