Marlagh
Lodge has three spacious bedrooms.
Although guests may prefer to relax with a good book (each room has its own bookcase)
the little "essentials" of 21st Century life are still there - discrete TVs and Wi-Fi internet access. Our bathrooms are
full of luxurious little goodies from fluffy towels and bathrobes
to indulgent lotions and potions
guaranteed to make you feel
truly pampered!
The Print Room has cream and brass beds - either available as a twin or super-king -
and is populated by cherubs!

 
Its private bathroom (with more cherubs!) is just across the private landing.
The Blue Room with its king-sized Victorian
cast iron four-poster is especially popular.

 
The ensuite bathroom has a rolltop bath
(lovingly restored by Rachel!) and an interesting
mahogany-framed blue sink dating from the 1920s.
The Chintz Room with its restful aquamarine and cream colour scheme...
 

has traditional furnishings with a contemporary twist,
a king-sized bed
and a spacious ensuite shower room.
The Drawing Room is full of books, interesting objets and photographs.
We’re particularly interested in Ireland’s country houses,
including those that are now in a state of ruin,
so there's plenty to browse through on that subject.

We’re both musicians (Robert is an
organist and pianist and Rachel is an opera singer) and those
of a similar bent are welcome to play the grand piano in the Music Room.


There are also some interesting old photos,
including our ‘before, during and after’ collection
which charts Marlagh Lodge’s journey from decaying wreck to elegant home!
Breakfast at Marlagh Lodge will certainly set you up for
the day! There’s fresh fruit, fresh bread, cereals and
muesli to start off with, then goodies such as ‘Marlagh
Lodge Tummy Warmer’ - creamy porridge with Bushmills
whiskey, brown sugar and cream. Of course, we only use the
best ingredients in our Ulster Fry - local sausages and bacon,
traditional soda bread and potato bread and local free range
eggs - sometimes from our own resident hens (you will meet Dido and Belinda in the garden courtyard)! You may prefer something a little lighter - poached eggs on toasted soda bread,
perhaps, or Rachel’s fantastic scrambled eggs with our
fishmonger’s own wonderful smoked salmon.
The Courtyard - on sunny days (we get lots of them in Northern Ireland!) guests are welcome to enjoy this secluded sun-trap behind the house.You may be joined on your steamer chair by Dido or Belinda (our hens) or Tertia or Septimus (our duo of cats).
