Perfect getaway cottage
Sandy heels was the perfect place for my short break. Very well equipped with a nice comfy bed and cosy lounge. Perfect location, close to pubs and restaurants (I especially recommend the Shamrock bar). Easy to get to lots of beautiful locations. It was the perfect base to explore Connemara from. I will definitely be back!

A well appointed, cosy house in a great town
Sandy Heels is a bright, well appointed house in the heart of Roundstone. We loved it's position opposite the harbour with it's great sea views. We didn't really cook ourselves as there were so many great eating places in Roundstone, but the kitchen was well equipped had we wanted to. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was large with an electric shower and bath. The only problem we had was the hot water failed on our penultimate day, so we couldn't use the shower or bath. We let the caretaker know as soon as we discovered the problem, but it was not possible to fix the problem before we left the following morning.

Eine schöne Woche
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Juli in Roundstone. Die Unterkunft war perfekt. Eine solche Ausstattung (Picknick-Korb, Fernglas, super Küchenausstattung, Waschmaschine, Trockner etc.) habe ich so noch nicht gesehen. Leider war das Haus nicht so gut gepflegt, was sehr schade war. Das könnte wirklich besser sein. Die Lage ist toll, man schaut vom Bett direkt auf den Hafen. Absolute Ruhe, auch wenn die Straße direkt davor ist.

Echt genialer Urlaub
Wir waren im März in Roundstone. Abgesehen davon das wir Glück mit dem Wetter hatten, hatten wir auch Glück mit unserer Unterkunft. Wir haben uns total wohlgefühlt. Das Haus war sauber und total nett hergerichtet. In der Küche war alles vorhanden das man fürs kochen benötigt. Die Lage ist auch super da man nur cirka 3 km bis zum Sandstrand hat. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
