OLD THORNS’ new three-bedroom penthouse suites and two-bedroom apartments have been officially opened.

Located overlooking the golf course, the 14 penthouse suites, which can sleep up to six people, and 37 two-bedroom apartments, that can sleep up to four people, all feature floor to ceiling windows.

The apartments are the latest addition to Old Thorns, which has seen significant expansion over the last decade.

Originally a manor house, the resort now has 160 hotel rooms, a range of bars, restaurants and private function rooms, a health club and wellness suite, a spa and an 18-hole championship golf course.

Managing director Cathal Lynch said: “Because of the continued success of Old Thorns and the development of its facilities, we have expanded our accommodation to introduce fully-furnished, fully-equipped apartments.

“Guests will have the privacy of their own self-contained apartment but with the flexibility and convenience of using all the facilities that Old Thorns has to offer, from dining to leisure facilities.

“It’s very unique for the location and we are anticipating they will be extremely popular amongst groups of friends and families for celebrations and short breaks.”
