Detailed Review
The great traditions of the Irish country house have been masterfully preserved at Marlfield House, an elegant Regency style luxury hotel that lies fifty-five 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. Filled with fresh flowers from the garden and blazing fires this luxury hotel is the essence of a truly beautiful and particularly romantic Irish country seat.
