LUXURY SUITES Three existing 100+ year old townhouses in the centre of Roundstone have been converted into five stone clad and wood finished luxury self-catering accommodations, each with their own private outdoor terrace or balcony areas. The interiors and exterior embody the ‘Crafts of Connemara’ and socially conscious designers, suppliers and local artists and craftspeople were sourced for the project. This follows through to the outdoor communal space where the planting reflects the natural landscape and breathtaking views of the area. There are five suites in total, three 3 – bedroom, one 2 – bedroom and one 1 – bedroom retreats sleeping from 2 – 28 people. In addition to the bedrooms, each have their own kitchen and sitting room area with wood burning stove. Some of the properties have views overlooking the ocean, the mountains, the pier and/or the streetscape. They can be rented individually or all together for groups and will include a serviced central reception area and a multi – use outdoor communal designed garden space with stunning views for use by resident individuals, couples, families and groups. It will be ideal for hosting small intimate events when hired for exclusive use.

An amazing 24 hours with great friends in the heart of Roundstone village. Staying in the luxurious and warm setting of Within the Village. This 100+ year old restored building has it all! We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks on the patio in the warm sunshine and admired the wonderful sea views. After drinks, we did not have very far to stroll to taste the best crab claws in Ireland by local Vaughans Restaurant. Then back to the warm and cosy setting of Within the Village suites to settle in for the night. The bedrooms and bathrooms are 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The bedrooms, staircases, kitchens, bathrooms and sitting rooms are all supplied and designed by leading craftsmen and women from across the west of Ireland.
A really special getaway for a group of friends re-uniting or couples or groups looking for a getaway in a special seaside village in the heart of Connemara ❤️

Amazing. The attention to detail is 5 star luxury throughout, everything has been considered to make a stay here fantastic. From the moment you arrive the welcome from Andy is fantastic. He cannot do enough for us, and he provides us with all the information on the local area and the townhouses themselves. We stayed in February but from the minute you open the door we were greeted with so much heat and warmth from both the temperature in the townhouse and Andy. The beds and bedlinen are amazing and the bathrooms spectacular. All of the fittings and appliances throughout are top of the range, the wood finishing's and lighting are so tastefully done and keeping in tone with the local area. It would be a mistake to think of these townhouses as self catering because everything is in place as it would be for a 5 star hotel but with the added advantage that there is a fully equipped kitchen should you wish to you use as we did for breakfast. The restaurants and pubs are literally on your doorstep closer than if in a hotel if you decide to venture out into the lovely village of Roundstone. Within the Village has everything needed for a wonderful relaxing break. It has all the conveniences of a luxury hotel but also the independence and flexibility of having your own space and freedom. We stayed with two other couples and couldn't have enjoyed it more and we cant wait to go back soon.

Just spent an incredible few days in Connemara, and of course I may be bias but, Roundstone is a truly exceptional location. ✨

We were treated to accommodation at ‘Within the Village a magical and inspirational piece of heaven that can do nothing but good for your soul.

From the beautiful bed linen, duvets and pillows to the amazing tweed blankets and cushions, and bathroom toiletries all locally sourced, every corner of the premises has been thoughtfully designed and has a story to tell.
Fresh scones and brown bread in the mornings, not to mention a view that takes your breath away. 🏞️ What a lovely experience to have as I was ‘working from home’ in my home from home!

Ideally situated in the heart of or ‘Within the Village ‘ of Roundstone, the owners have embraced an eco-friendly environment, from a segregated waste area & bottle bank to signage asking patrons to switch off and save, LED lighting and heat pumps. 🌿

I am looking forward to returning and but especially in the winter months when the log burner will be burning in anger!

It’s a place filled with the warmth of Irish hospitality, not just a destination; it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.
Truly, one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in. ❤️

What a break from it all in just two days! I loved this. I as instantly relaxed as the location of Within the Village is so accessible after a beautiful drive from Galway City to Roundstone. It was a cool crisp winters day with blue skies- I walked Dogs Bay first and then checked in. WOW the interiors, the smell of wood and the textiles, art work chosen and sheer talent of crafts person in each accommodation is simply stunning. I lit the stove and cooked dinner- drank red wine and slept so well. The silence was bliss. I was up early for a run and a swim and then chilled out again with the stove on and the papers, cooked breakfast and dosed off again. I just love this part of the world and being honest being there in winter is bliss to me. I am looking forward to returning very soon.

A really fab experience. The beds were extremely comfortable and all the rooms where impeccably clean. The furnishing and layout is very chic and spacious. The kitchen and living room are very well kitted out and the delicious, freshly baked scones where a lovely touch. Most of all, Andy looked after us incredibly well and was a total pleasure to meet. We have already rebooked for next year.

We had an amazing stay at Within the Village in Roundstone, Ireland. We stayed in the Bog Cotton suite, it was so perfect and every detail so well thought out and tastefull. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were so comfortable with soft pillows and amazing sheets. There was a lovely outdoor space. Every morning Andy brought us fresh baked scones. he also brought us fresh ground coffee for the espresso maker. The town of Roundstone is just lovely, on the water, with 3 amazing restaurants. We ate in all three. Also two coffee shops to choose from as well. The surrounding areas are wonderful to explore. Don’t hesitate to book Within the Village, you will not be disappointed.

Within the Village delivers! A real human interaction, real village life, all the while having your own luxury space that feels integrated into the place for you to sleep each night. My family and I felt a part of a place, not visiting or watching, we felt immersed, and that made all the difference. The art in the rooms from Dorothy Cross and Cliodhna Prendergast, plates and cups locally made, scones delivered in the mornings, it does not feel like a hotel, there is no theater to it, it is landed directly in the village and the name is perfect, it is Within, embraced, held.

I have stayed in a lot of top class self catering places around the world and this hits the top!!!!Stayed here with a group of friends and we had a ball… the interior is so cool, classy and comfy! The beds/bed linen are so nice, actually ,everything is just so nice! We even really enjoyed out the back of the apartments… we sat out there and had a few drinks pre dinner and it was fabulous. Location if right in the middle of A small village of Roundstone which has bars and restaurants… I can’t recommend this place enough .

My friends and I went for a cycling trip. The accommodation far surpassed what we had expected. It is simply luxury. The nice touch of home made bread jams and honey and fresh milk were just the icing on the cake.

5 Star Luxury. I recently stayed in the beautiful Kelp Suite with 2 of our couple friends and to say that we spent 2 days in pure luxury is an understatement. The whole experience from Andy the concierge greeting us on our arrival to the fresh baked scones delivered each morning was above and beyond any other self catering accommodation I have stayed. Everything one needed for a weekend away was provided for within the Suite. The comfort of the design and interiors were that of a 5 Star Hotel with the added benefit of having a lounge area to relax with our friends by the stove fire. The location was perfect, in the middle of the beautiful quaint village of Roundstone. Within walking distance to the restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and playground.

I will certainly be returning for another visit and would highly recommend a trip to 'Within the Village' suites to anyone who wants to experience a luxurious and relaxing break away from it all.

Thank you for an amazing few days. Lisa
