Recreation mainly consists of good food, good wine and conversation. There is an interesting collection of books, paintings and furniture in the house. Croquet and Boule are played at Roundwood. Horse-riding is available 30 minutes away.

In the nearby beautiful Slieve Bloom Mountains visitors will discover woodland trails, deep glens, waterfalls, remote bogland and picnic areas, all of which make this area a delightful touring destination.
