The Marine Hotel in Ballycastle has been given planning permission for the next stage of its expansion and refurbishment plan.
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s planning committee approved the application for partial demolition, extensions and alterations to the hotel to provide an extended ground floor restaurant/bar area, a new entrance and lobby accessed from the existing parking area.
The plans also include the addition of 14 extra bedrooms, ten self-catering studio apartments and a rooftop events space. The construction of these new bedrooms, self-catering units and rooftop events space will take 18 months.
Hotel Directors, Colum McLornan & Claire Hunter have also recently acquired the Glenariff Inn in Waterfoot. The purchase, finalised at the end of August, will see the duo “develop options” for the new site.
