Roundstone at its best
So thrilled to have discovered this cosy, homely, wonderful little cottage. In a great location overlooking the fishing boats and the bay in Roundstone, with cafes, bars, shops close by. Well supported by a very friendly and helpful caretaker. The cottage was very well equipped. Everything we would want plus extras provided. Only one thing we thought it lacked was coat hooks. We loved our stay. Comfortable beds, cosy sitting room, dining area, well equipped kitchen. What more could we possibly want. Thank you.

Excellent overall. We hope to be back. Key box on wall a little high for a smaller visitor and a second set of keys would be welcomed.

Gorgeous house in beautiful Roundstone
My family of four, two children and two adults had a lovely five night stay in Sandy Heels. The location is perfect, right in the village, close to all the lovely pubs and restaurants and the view is just amazing. The weather was changeable so it was great to come home to a cosy house, light the stove and relax after walking the local beaches all day. There are plenty of books on the shelves and a fab reading spot up in the attic room which was such a bonus. Lots of room to spread out. My boys loved the attic room for chilling out waiting for the rain shower to pass, looking out the roof window at the harbour below. Comfy beds, great cooking facilities and a lovely patio added to the five star stay. We would all highly recommend this property for a stay in Connemara and will definitely be back!

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location
We stayed here for 4 nights. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and full of character. At first there was no hot water but I phoned our contact and he came round within an hour to try to sort it out. He couldn't fix it but he sent a plumber round a few hours later and the boiler was soon working again. The weather was very good and we were able to enjoy the lovely courtyard garden for some of our meals. We also ate at a couple of the very good restaurants in Roundstone. We did some local walks and swam in the sea at Gurteen Bay. We did several daytrips in the car to explore the Connemara area. We were delighted that we had chosen Roundstone as it was a little off the beaten track and not as full of cars and tourists as some other places we visited. Parking near the cottage was always easy.
