Mulvarra House overlooks the picturesque settlement of St. Mullins, situated on the River Barrow and nestling between the Blackstairs Mountains on one side and Brandon Hill on the other. The locality acquired its name from St. Moling, a 7th century cleric who built a monastery here with the help of "Gobban Saor", the legendary Irish builder. The complex includes a medieval church ruin, the base of a round tower and the former Church of Ireland church, built in 1811.

St. Mullins is also the starting/finishing point of the Barrow Way or visitors who prefer a shorter walk may enjoy the 6km Slína Sláinte route which commences outside the graveyard, passes through Bahana Wood and returns via Templenabo to the village.

The River Barrow offers lovers of fishing endless opportunities to test their fishing skills with good stocks of salmon, trout and other species of coarse fish. St. Mullins is well situated for touring this beautiful part of South-East Ireland with the medieval city of Kilkenny and historic Waterford a short drive away.
