The great traditions of the Irish
country house have been masterfully
preserved at Marlfield House, an
elegant Regency style mansion 55
miles south of Dublin and just minutes
from the white sandy beaches of
the east coast. Mary and Ray Bowe
bought the house from the Earls
of Courtown in 1977.
Together they supervised every detail of its restoration and over
the years have filled the graciously
proportioned rooms with antiques,
period furniture, valuable works
of art and sumptuous fabrics.
 Accommodation
There are 13 standard bedrooms at
Marlfield and each one is completely
different. All are decorated with
rich fabrics, antiques, paintings
and tapestries and many have four
poster beds.
In each room you will also find thick robes and towels, lacy white
linen, fresh fruit and bottled water,
trouser presses, irons and ironing
boards, hairdryers, luxurious toiletries,
direct dial telephone, cd player,
satellite television and lots of
books. Many have beautiful views
over the gardens and grounds.
Facilities
The reputation of Marlfield was
built on its food much of which
is grown in the garden. Fresh herbs,
vegetables and fruit grow abundantly
and are gathered daily. Wild salmon,
Spring lamb, Bannow Bay oysters,
Wexford mussels and beef all feature
very strongly on the menu.
The cuisine is best described as classical with French and Mediterranean
influence.
