The Roundal - Self Catering

Jan 20th, 2023

Beautiful buildings and very tastefully furnished. I couldn't criticise a thing. Any damages are very purely superficial and caused unfortunately by careless guests. I would very gladly recommend this self catering accommodation for families or groups of adults. Lovely big kitchen and lounge area with pool table. The rooms are well distributed with en suite bathrooms in each one and plenty of storage space. Lovely countryside surroundings and a 10-15 minute walk to the beach.

Lovely location, a bit isolated, but still close enough to St Andrews and the golf clubs. I only down rated this visit due to the lack of general maintenance and low budget bedding. 800 for 3 nights I'd expect not to have paper thin Morrisons home essentials 16 duvets that were a size smaller than the beds they are fitted on. Ok they did cover the mattress JUST, but when your're in the bed obviously you need an overhang to cover your body and the bed, the heating turns off at 9pm so my wife and I woke up due to being cold. We had to use another home essentials duvet so we had one each but no cover for the additional duvet. The sound bar optical lead was snapped so very poor speaker quality from the boxed in flat screen TV. Non of the dvd players worked also one of the bedroom's TV's. The pool table had a broken cue held together with Scotch tape. The main bedroom ensuite toilet seat was not securely fixed to the WC. The bath plug opener didn't work so you have to drain the bath using a butter knife to lift the drain The hot and cold taps are reversed in the bathroom ( I always tell my children to part fill the bath with cold then add hot water to avoid scolding, This is a dangerous fault as they part filled with pure hot water and if I hadn't noticed the steam billowing from the bathroom my children could've been injured. The main bedroom power shower hot and cold controls are also reversed. The main bedroom wooden window shutter pitch rod is snapped and the safety restriction opener is also snapped. With all this in mind I'd like to return to the Roundal and its possible that these issues have not been passed onto the owner previously but I have advised them of the failings so I hope they will have these issue addressed before I return in the summer. Update....November 2021.. Airbnb rejected our review of the stay at the Roundal and the host has not responded to our safety concerns .
