To start, I would say that we would probably return to Marifield, however, there were some concerns. The house is gorgeous, as is the surrounding area. Our room must have been right next to either a kitchen or staff/work room, as we were woken at 5.40am and the noise continued from then. The duvet was too heavy so we went from too cold if you pulled it down, to too hot if you covered yourself, which all led to a very poor night's sleep.
The food was, overall, excellent. Our table was served by almost every staff member but the lady (possibly owner) never smiled once nor asked how we were enjoying ourselves. Disappointing as it prides itself on being a family business! Our potatoes arrived after our mains were finished and the next morning our toast arrived after our breakfast was finished. Our bill also included drinks we hadn't consumed. It was as if no one took responsibility for their tables. A bit better organization could have prevented this which is a let down as the good was really good.
Finally, the price. At almost €600 for our 1 night stay (all in), I don't feel it was value for money to be honest and would expect much better service & from for this price.
