We stayed for a one night break for a special occasion. We had an amazing room. Dinner and breakfast was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and accommodating- a shout out to Dawn who was exceptionally nice. This was not our first time at Marlfield and it will not be the last.
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.
From check in to check out this beautiful hotel was faultless. It is such an authentic place with lovely art works & beautiful furniture. The food in the hotel & in the Duck Restaurant was exceptional served by a professional & friendly staff team led by Margaret & Laura.Attention to detail was obvious in every area of this family business we can’t wait to return.
Laura and Margaret, My first visit to Marlfield House Hotel and I am completely blown away by the amazing experience. This luxurious boutique hotel is easily one of Irelands gems and the best I have stayed in.
Thank you for your kind hospitality, the luxurious bedrooms, the excellent food and the wonderful tranquillity of the stunning gardens.

Fantastic experience, staff were so friendly and helpful.
There was great attention to detail. Extremely relaxing stay. Use of mobile phones in the communal areas of the house was discouraged which added to the relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful kitchen garden.
