Marlagh
Lodge has three bedrooms. You won’t find satellite TV
or DVD players - we much prefer to relax with a good book,
so each room has its own bookcase instead! 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 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 features a cast iron double bed and
spacious ensuite shower room.
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
Drawing Room is full of books - we’re particularly
interested in Ireland’s country houses, including those
that are now in a state of ruin, so there are lots of books
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 piano in the Study.
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. You may prefer something a little lighter - an omelette,
perhaps, or Rachel’s fantastic scrambled eggs with our
fishmonger’s own wonderful smoked salmon.
