Review 2:I loved comfy bed, clean room nicely designed room, beautiful breakfast the best quality of products, salmon, tea brand, location is nice, the host family was very kind. walking distance to pub, nice view from the window. we were very happy with the BB.
Review 3:Great location. I loved the proprietors! I was the only guest on a rainy Thursday night (Thanksgiving), but I felt right at home. Comfortable and clean room. Delicious breakfast! I hope to return in the summer.
Review 4:In November Roundstone was all but closed down for the winter with the exeption of the Island View B & B and O'Dowds bar & restaurant. However, if you could only choose 2 places to stay open, these would be the two.
Review 5:Great hospitality from Maurice & Ashley. Very comfortable room. Fantastic breakfast choices prepared to an excellent standard. Coal fires at the end of a November day. Room with great view over the harbour. Couldn't have chosen a better place to stay.
Review 6:Was a lovely B&B in the heart of Roundstone. Very close to a delicious seafood restaurant/pub we came back to after trying last year and falling in love with! Helpful staff.
Review 7:The proprietor was very friendly and informative. The B&B was very central and close to a pub for dinner. Lovely view from our bedroom. Room was small, but we were given a choice of rooms and we chose the one with the view :)
Review 8:I enjoyed the little room at the top of the house. There was a view of the island from the front window and a view of the 12 Bens from the side. Very pleased.
Review 9:Thank you for a lovely stay at the Island View. We liked everything, the welcoming atmosphere, the very comfortable room, beautiful bathroom and the toasty fire you lit for us one rainy day in September.
Review 10:Nothing.We
Review 11:The owner was very friendly and helpful. The view from our bedroom was lovely, we had no problem parking opposite the door and it was in a central location. A very enjoyable short break in a lovely setting.
Review 12:Nothing.
Review 13:Everything was perfect, from the tea and scone on arrival through the comfortable rooms and delicious breakfasts. Morris was very hospitable and gave us excellent advice on the local amenities. Even if your main goal is to do nothing, Roundstone is the perfect place to unwind. We will definitely be back.
Review 14:sound proofing could be better as we could hear people moving around and talking above and below our room
Review 15:Very Friendly staff, lovely surroundings, very convenient to the village, delicious breakfast and the rooms were of a hotel standard!
Review 16:This was one of my favorite stays. B&B was great, wonderful location. We have stayed in many hotels....the beds & bedding were wonderful....beat all those hotels!
Review 17:Roundstone is in a part of Ireland that deserves more mention than it currently gets - absolutely beautiful. The whole family at Island View could not do enough to help everyone who stayed there, from car troubles to travel advice. Tip: as a small village, book dinner early in peak, as places fill very fast.
Review 18:there was nothing to dislike. We would just prefer a front view next time.
Review 19:Island View was exactly what we wanted and we will definitely revisit. The excellent service was accompanied with a friendly manner from all members of the family that we encountered. Maurice, in particular,through his his charming and upbeat manner, fostered a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at breakfast between all the guests. This always a plus as it can feel a bit uncomfortable if the room is silent. The beds were so comfortable, like sleeping in a marshmallow sandwich!
Review 20:For the price, this B&B has it all: very welcoming, very clean and very comfortable with a great breakfast to set you up for the day. Maurice was a great host to us - we really loved our stay at Island View (which has an amazing view)! Hopefully, we'll be back sometime soon...!

Review 27:John is an amazing and gracious host, the B&B was a good blend of modern and comfortable. We wished we had more days to spend. We will be back for certain - when it's sunny! But the weather didn't matter - Island View B&B and Dingle are among the highlights of our trip, fog & all. John's breakfast was amazing!
Review 28:The whole house is spotlessly clean and beautifully presented and our room was spacious and comfortable with a breathtaking view. The breakfast menu was enticing and the food was lovely. But beyond all of this it was the owner's welcoming nature that made our short stay most memorable. He was a great host and very helpful with ideas of what to see. I would highly recommend this b&b.

Review 30:Wifi kept dropping out. Bedsides that nothing.
Review 31:have not stayed in B & B's for 15 years. But this place has changed my mind. Linen and towels better than a 4 star hotel. Aisling is so welcoming without been too much so. Views of the sea were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. Set us up for the day. Love this place and will be back.
Review 32:We had complimentary tea and scones upon arrival which was very welcome after a long drive. The owners are very friendly and will give you lots of tips on where to go etc. Room was immaculate, comfortable and warm. Breakfast will keep you going for the day.
Review 33:The Island View B&B is well-named : it is located in the center of the village of Roundstone, facing the Atlantic Ocean & the island of Inishnee - a beautiful sight! We have been warmly welcomed, and treated with a delicious breakfast & great advises for our tour of Connemara - Thanks!

Review 38:We arrived exhausted after a 2 day drive and were presented with a comfy sofa, hot tea, and the most delicious scones I've ever encountered. Unpretentious, cosy and run by lovely people we would definitely return. Oh and a great breakfast!
Review 39:Stayed here last Friday night. From the tea and coffee with the lovely freshly made scones as soon as we arrived,sitting in front of a lovely fire. The bed was so comfortable.
