Hotel and restaurant in the country (Gorey Co. Wexford) To arrive in this part of Ireland from Dublin, pass through the magical countryside of Wicklow, a county nestled between the sea and the mountains and boasting some of Ireland’s most stunning landscapes. Rosslare port is also very close to Marlfield House. It is in this unspoilt, yet easily accessible region that the Bowe family chose to create their gem of a hotel, a model of conviviality and elegance complete with a rose garden and woodland walks. Dining in the Victorian conservatory is delightful, particularly the delicious breakfast. Here life is about enjoyment, don’t we call the Irish “the Latin people of the North”?
Cliff House Hotel
Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (Ardmore Co. Waterford) Cliff House Hotel is in a stunning location, overlooking Ardmore Bay.
