Today a country house hotel, Marlfield, County Wexford dates from the mid-19th century when constructed as an agent’s residence for the estate of the Stopfords, Earls of Courtown who lived close by in Courtown House (since demolished). The family retained ownership of the property until 1977 when it was sold to Ray an Mary Bowe who subsequently opened it as an hotel. Of rubble stone with brick facings, the original three-storey building has a four-bay, east-facing entrance front, with central two-bay breakfront. Requiring more space for guests, in 1983 the Bowes commissioned work from architects Cochrane, Flynn-Rogers and Williams whose most notable addition is an elegant curvilinear conservatory on what had previously been the main entrance: this has now been moved to the north side. In the style of those designed by Richard Turner around the time Marlfield was first erected, the conservatory now serves as a dining room.

I stayed at Marlfield back in the 1990’s, it was really lovely. All the rooms were furnished with antiques. When you retired to bed, not only was the bed turned down but there was classical music playing and a bowl of fruit left in case you got peckish in the night, which was highly unlikely as the dinner was absolutely delicious, served in the Orangery as you said. It is the nicest place I have ever stayed in but having not been there for years I don’t know whether this is still the case!
