Several of the rooms within the House have been named after eminent individuals who have had an association with the House throughout several centuries.

 The Coey Room

Named in tribute to Sir Edward Coey (1805 – 87), past owner of Merville House and the only Liberal Party Mayor of Belfast.

This is the largest room in the House, on first floor level. With an abundance of natural light, this is a true multi purpose room, hosting visiting dignitaries for conferences through to hosting art exhibitions, craft fairs and regular sporting clubs.

The room measures 16.5m x 8.5m approximately and has a capacity to host up to 100 people for a seated event. The Coey Room is our very own “blank canvas”, which gives you, the user, scope for introducing your own décor for your event.

 The Rowan Room

Named in tribute to Major John Rowan who lived in Merville House in 1822.

 On the ground floor, the Rowan Room is a beautifully proportioned space and is situated within the fabric of the original manor house. The room is awash with natural light and retains many of its original Georgian features, including sash windows and an ornate fireplace.

 The room measures 8.5m x 5.5m approximately and has the capacity to host up to 40 people for a seated event or reception. The Rowan Room is perfectly situated for our civil wedding ceremonies and is also used for seminars, meetings and the weekly meeting of the Merville Bridge Club.

 The Robinson Room

Named in tribute to the distinguished entrepreneur, Frederick Charles Gunning Robinson who acquired the property in 1924.

 On the first floor, the Robinson replicates the size and situation of the Rowan Room below and in addition to its original sash windows, also affords beautiful views over Belfast Lough.

 The room measures 8.5m x 5.5m approximately and also has the capacity to host up to 40 people for a seated event or reception. This room also has a variety of uses and is further complemented by our gallery, which sits just outside the room and provides an addition space for visiting guests.

 The Board Room

The first floor board room occupies a corner site within the original manor house with an abundance of natural light and views over Belfast Lough.

 The room can be used for meetings of up to 12 persons and is equipped with a flipchart and fax point. The room is also situated next to a kitchen for ease of use with catering arrangements.

 The Courtyard Atrium and Mezzanine

 Located under a stunning glass ceiling, the atrium boasts a sophisticated space ideal for networking and informal gathering. It can also be used as a café space, with bistro style tables and chairs and an adjoining fully equipped kitchen.

 Overlooking the Atrium, the Mezzanine area on the first floor also provides a casual seating area, as well as a perfect space for exhibiting and networking.

The Entrance Hall and Gallery

 The entrance hall provides a grand welcome to all visitors to Merville House. The Hall and upstairs gallery are filled with original features. The sweeping staircase, dark panelling and oak floors are coloured by light flooding in from the stained glass window with the gallery space offering views over Belfast Lough.
