What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
To say that Marlfield House is rather understated by country-house hotel standards is not a criticism; there are grander castles in Ireland…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On thirty-six acres of gardens and woodland along Courtown Road, five minutes outside Gorey.
The rooms
Main house bedrooms display period antiques and marble baths, while detached timber suites sit tucked along the duck pond.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The Conservatory serves classical dinners beneath glass overlooking the gardens. In the courtyard, The Duck opens onto kitchen garden terraces.
How it began
Built in 1852 for the Earls of Courtown, the Regency residence was converted into a family-run retreat in 1978.
