Description
This tiny secluded cottage is hidden away in a corner of the walled garden of Roundwood and is ideal for inspiring country holidays. We think Hanzel and Gretel may have been the original tenants! It sleeps 2 persons with one double bedroom.
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".

This cottage does not have a TV or DVD player and the kitchen really is a kitchenette with a 2 ring hob, convection microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge. There is no washing machine or dryer, however there are laundry services available in Roundwood house if required.
Pets are allowed on request. We allow pets to stay in our cottages but please note there is a cleaning surcharge of €20 per stay payable here. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when walking around the property as we have ducks and hens that are too tempting a target for even the friendliest of dogs.
