Celeb hotelier gets go-ahead for safari-style ‘glamping park’

Celebrity hotelier John Brennan looks set to see his dream of developing a luxurious, safari-style camping park in Kerry come true after An Bord Pleanála withdrew an appeal.

The At Your Service presenter wants to develop the “glamping park” at Dromquinna, located near Kenmare.

Last year, county councillors in Kerry, with the support of management, unanimously backed the project and contravened their own development plan to allow Brennan to build the park in woodland alongside a sensitive coastline in the grounds of a protected 19th century manor house.
