Hotel review: The new Pond suites at Marlfield House are a luxe country escape 

'An open-plan bedroom/living area features luxurious furnishing and fabrics but all eyes go to the statement wall featuring a blue heron in a coconut palm background'

The conservatory at Marlfield House

Built as a retreat for the Earl of Courtown in 1852, Marlfield House has emerged as one of the most aspirational stays along the East Coast since it was opened to guests by the Bowe Family in 1979. 

Today, new luxury Pond Suites herald a fresh evolution to the property’s offering so I checked into their supremely aesthetic surrounds to see if their style is in harmony with its substance.
