Just outside County Tipperary in Co. Laois, Roundwood House has an insouciant, put-up-your-feet casual elegance, due in part to the Kennan family's warmth and relaxed approach. Good taste pervades the splendid 18th-century Palladian country villa, set amid secluded woods, pasture, and gardens. The six guest rooms in the main house are spacious and decorated with an eye for charm and simplicity. The two on the second floor share a large central play area ideal for families with children. The Yellow House, across the herb garden and courtyard from the main building, has been tastefully restored to offer four delightful double rooms. There are also three self-catering cottages available, including the original gatehouse. Roundwood's soft couches, firm beds, lovely views, and excellent meals all calm the soul. Note: The nearest TV is a long walk away.
Facilities:
Boule; croquet; drawing room

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
