Church Bay Hotel ripe for conversion

CHURCHES and conversion are no strangers to one another, and a hotel building at Church Bay outside Cork harbour is a place prime for conversion.

The former Church Bay Hotel, with 12 bedrooms, is a couple of miles from Crosshaven where new housing plans are already waking up the seaside and yachting village and making it more of a year-round commuting option for Cork city workers.

Estate agents Irish and European Cork city have the hotel building back on the market, and while previously it was marketed as a hotel redevelopment opportunity, now it is as likely to be bought as a seaside development site.
