Location and room views are great. Rooms are lovely - better than some hotels we have been in. Breakfast is cooked to order and cooked nicely with good quality produce. Coffee is real, served to the table in a la cafetiere. ( How many hotels in Ireland still haven't cracked this one yet!) Maurice has the perfect personality as the... more

First place we tried in Roundstone and we were only going to stay one night before moving on, we actually stayed five nights and would have loved to have stayed longer but we had a ferry booking. It is the ideal place to stay and tour the area or just relax and walk or cycle the locality, Maurice knows all... more

Just what we wanted, lovely firm beds in the village, no noise, great breakfast and Maurice and his family are lovely people. Would stay again in a heartbeat. more

Our room was lovely with a very picturesque sight over the... more

Rooms spacious with very comfortable beds and tasteful decor. Breakfast... more

We were thoroughly impressed with our stay at Island View B&B. Mauric, the owner, and his wife have traveled and know what guests need to feel welcome and at home. They had great information on the area, phoned around to make other reservations for us, and offered us coffee and homemade scones when we got in from sightseeing. We felt... more
