“One of the most enjoyable Irish B & B's we stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

Maurice, the innkeeper, is a cheery, local man who knows how to make his guests welcome. His wife Aisling helps when she can. On arrival you will be served tea and scones and then will be shown to your comfortable, tastefully decorated modern room, larger than most in our experience. The family rooms are spacious with room for your luggage, and big enough to actually move around. Our teenage daughter had a lovely room of her own with two sets of windows-one overlooking the bay and the other into town. Some rooms look over the Errisbeg mountain but the view isn't as nice. Maurice serves a wonderful Irish breakfast with excellent sausages, bacon, egg, tomato, and white and black pudding if you want it. There are other choices as well. Island View Bed and Breakfast is quiet, even if you have the ocean view which faces the street, and the beds are comfortable. The shower works well with lots of hot water, and Maurice makes sure there are plenty of washclothes and towels. Roundstone is a little town that is very quiet late at night. It has a beautiful harbor, good places to eat, isn't a tourist trap, and has lots of interesting places to visit nearby which Maurice is knowledgeable about. There are gorgeous beaches within a mile of town. Maurice's Island View Bed and Breakfast in Roundstone is an idyllic spot to enjoy Ireland away from the hubbub of the big tourist towns.

“Island View has it all!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2010

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 host - he is chatty, interested, knowledgeable and helpful. Maurice and Aishling's welcome is warm, real and genuine. A welcoming scone and tea/coffee set's the tone and the standard doesn't slip throughout the stay. Tip top value for money. We will be back.

“This is a really nice B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2010

This is one of those B&B's that I knew I liked the moment that I arrived. The welcome was excellent with coffee scones and jam.
The location is right on the little high street with views of the sea from the bedroom and restaurants and bars nearby, as was the pretty harbour of Roundstone.
The bedroom was nice and warm, a good size, plenty of storage room, well presented, TV and wireless internet. The ensuite was smallish.
The guest loung was comfortable with a large sateliteTV.
Breakfast was very good, lots of choice.

“Best we found - ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010

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 the interesting places. We have no hesitation in recommending this B&B to anyone - you will not be disappointed.
