It’s a complex business

Carrying the same sort of guide price as Tony O’Reilly’s nearby summer home — Shorecliff, on six acres — the modern Marine Hotel complex in Glandore is just new to market, compete with 17 holiday units.

Built in the 2000s by the O’Brien family who have long hotel links here the complex has a €2 million price guide, via agents Declan Hickey of Downing Commercial in Cork city, and Maeve McCarthy of Charles P McCarthy in Skibbereen.

The agents say there are three viable businesses here, a bar, a restaurant and the income from the self-catering accommodation.
