Famous Waterville hotel on the market for €6m
It is one of 14 properties linked to Paddy McKillen Jr, and which was put into receivership by lenders Relm Finance in March this year.
Selling agent JLL is guiding €6m for the Waterville hotel which accommodates 36 guestrooms and includes a restaurant and the historic Fisherman's bar. It is located on an impressive 1.3-acre beachfront site, with uninterrupted sea views.
Dan O'Connor of JLL says a buyer could avail of a feasibility study which shows the potential to more than double the guestroom stock and also introduce new amenities, including a function room and a pavilion-style restaurant.
Located between two world-class golf courses, Hogs Head and Waterville Golf Course, the premises dates back to the late 1800s when it was a hunting lodge. After it became a hotel it hosted renowned film personalities like Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin and Michael Douglas while Mark Hamill of Star Wars stayed while filming on nearby Skellig Micheal.
