Owner Location Comment
The Wooden House, which is in a lovely and secluded spot, is situated behind the picturesque village of Roundstone overlooking Errisbeg mountain yet only 5 minutes walk to the village with all the pubs, restaurants and amenities.
Beautiful local beaches of Gurteen and Dog's Bay nearby. Easy access to golf, cycling, fishing, walking and horse riding.
Or as a couple of guests commented, says it all:
"The house provides a nice blend of privacy, natural beauty, cleanliness and accessibility to the town."
"Dog's Bay was like a beach that one would find in the Caribbean with the water so clear and warm (well, sort of warm!)."
