Multi-million euro upgrade planned for Castlemartyr Resort

One of the country’s premier hotels, the five-star Castlemartyr Resort in East Cork, is planning a multi-million euro redevelopment as it celebrates its 10th birthday.

The hotel owners have applied to Cork County Council for permission for a number of alterations and extensions to what was originally a 17th century manor house and is a protected structure.

These include the demolition of its two-storey gym, to be replaced with a wedding-and-conference centre, and the creation of a 61-space car park.
