“That’s not all, the project will also create a new adaptable events space which opens more opportunities for groups, parties and events in its prominent seafront position. The project began in November 2021 and aims to be complete by early spring 2022.”

The hotel was bought by current directors Colum McLornan and Claire Hunter back in 2003.

Claire explained: “Colum and I have researched beach front properties from Cornwall to Galway to Portugal to come up with the style and culture we have in the hotel today. We are dog friendly, have a relaxed and friendly vibe and the new bedrooms will allow even more people to enjoy Ballycastle.”

The latest investment will create additional employment and proposes to generate further revenue into the local economy with its increased occupancy.
