join us in one of Ireland's most beautiful villages in Ireland 🇮🇪
The experience
Ireland has a very warm, welcoming culture - with a rich tradition of music, dance, poetry and literature
We live 15 minutes walk from Roundstone Village, one of the most picturesque villages in Ireland. Nestled between the sea and the 12 Bens mountain range - in summer it is a bustling hub of tourists with shops, restaurants, pubs and music galore. It is quieter in winter.
Clifden town is a 15 minute drive and serviced by a regular bus service.
