"My husband and I got married here at the end of May and couldn't have been happier with it! Really lovely property, very reasonable venue hire cost, and Cafe Nosh provides the best catering services. Honestly, can't stress enough how great Cafe Nosh were! Phil and his team basically acted as master of ceremonies and with their help, everything ran on time and tasted amazing! So worth it if you're looking for a venue!"

"Called to Malone House today to see the art exhibition, on the first floor.
A wide variety of styles to interpret the brief of "Roses".
Open to the end of the month. Well worth the trip."
