There was nothing we didn't like

We loved everything about Marlfield House. The reception area is stunning. The drawing room bar is equally stunning. It was like staying in a most beautiful home but being looked after in the best hotel you've ever stayed in. The owner and staff were exceptional. The two restaurants were fabulous and very different from each other. The grounds and garden are gorgeous for walking.

We had a very warm welcome from Dawn, the hotel and setting was amazing, truly classic design with a cosy intimate atmosphere. Choices of rooms to sit and relax in, beautiful conservatory where we enjoyed breakfast.. we thoroughly enjoyed our experience…

We loved every moment of our stay at Marlfied. The food, the staff and the room were beyond fabulous. Dawn was so wonderful and gave us the most unforgettable stay. We cannot thank all the team enough for their kindness.

My parents had a really nice time, it was an exceptional experience from the point they stepped in the door until they left. Staff were really friendly and were focused on making sure their guests are happy and comfortable, breakfast was delicious. The hotel also upgraded my parents room which was really nice.

Nothing. We had a fantastic stay!

The food was beautiful. The staff were kind, helpful and welcoming. The rooms were beautifully decorated and really comfortable. The woodland walks and gardens around the hotel were peaceful and tranquil and added to the setting and our time at the hotel. Thank you.

Shower in the room had insufficient hot water and low pressure. Not good enough for a hotel of this quality.

Breakfast and service were excellent.

Great breakfast and great to be served vs buffet style.

Back to the old style of breakfast. Would like to dine in the hotel dining room

It is hard to contact the hotel by phone. We had hoped to stay 3 or 4 nights but wrre unable to get through on phone and ended upcbooking another hotel.

The breakfast was superb, the ambience was amazing,. Although the hotel were expecting a wedding, we got tremendous attention. It is our favourite hotel in all of Ireland. Although we were originally allocated an up stairs room, a lovely staff member Carieen, I think was her name was so kind and realising my 92 year old uncle would have difficulty with the stairs ,quickly got us a beautiful downstairs room. It made our holiday. We were delighted to meet Mrs Mary Bowe again. To celebrate uncle John's 92nd birthday Mrs Bowe and her staff served us a glass of Champagne in the garden. The male staff member from Lyon drove us up to to the Duck restaurant and even came back and collected us at the end of the meal. The staff went beyond the call of duty. We really appreciated all their care and attention. We had a marvellous time at Marlfied house.

I can’t think of anything. Of all the places I have stayed in in Ireland, Marlfield is definitely my favourite

We stayed in a villa beside the lake & what a stunning setting surrounded by nature. The Villa was exquisite, beautifully furnished, very roomy & filled with natural light. The exceptional weather helped & we enjoyed the lovely walks & stunning gardens. Dining was superb, the bar for lunch, the beautiful Duck restaurant for dinner & the conservatory for breakfast. I could not omit to mention the amazing staff there. Everyone we met were so welcoming & friendly. They are to be congratulated for the fantastic work they do & obviously enjoy. The resident dog, Ziggy is such a cute little guy too.

Excellent food

Stayed in August 2022

I think having to eat in the duck was a major dissapontment , the food is overpriced for bistro style food and not great . The service was just ok a lot of inexperienced staff and the atmosphere does not at all match the house and is not blue book standard at all. I would not book again unless it was possible to eat dinner in the house

Breakfast was good though served up very quickly , had the yogurt / fruit compote and was way too sweet
