Beach resort reborn
Beach-fronting Redbarn, once famed as much for its ballroom of romance as for its miles of sandy beaches, is being re-born with a family flavour.
The home tourism tide has turned for Redbarn, after a decade or more of abandonment: the rise of the short break away phenomenon, the lure of an all-weather beachside resort and a link with the dynamic, 23-hotel strong Quality Hotel network via its enterprising executive Frankie Whelehan (a judge in RTE Two’s The Fund) has put Redbarn back on the map.
