Manfield House

CELEBRATING its 40th year in business this year Marlfield House is one of Ireland’s most celebrated country house hotels. Set on 36 acres of gardens it was originally opened by Mary and Ray Bowe in 1978 who bought the property from the Earls of Courtown. A Turner style conservatory was added gaining national acclaim and has just being renovated. And in 1989 six sumptuous state rooms were added. The very popular Duck Restaurant, set in renovated courtyard buildings opened in 2015 and last year ‘Duck Lodge’ a luxurious contemporary cottage with two bedrooms was renovated.

Margaret and Laura took over management 8 years ago, however Mary and Ray still enjoy meeting their guests daily. Marlfield is a long time member of Ireland’s Blue Book and the prestigious international Relais et Chateaux group. Couples can take the beautiful house and gardens exclusively for the wedding celebration for up to 145 guests.
