ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Situated in splendid surroundings, overlooking the beautiful islands of Lambay and Ireland's Eye, Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links was originally the home of the Jameson family (of Irish Whiskey fame). The house has been tastefully transformed into a magnificent international hotel, while the surrounding land has been moulded into a superb links golf course at the hand of Bernard Langer. And having opened for business in 1996, Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links is already widely acknowledged as one of Ireland's leading golfing hotels.
Given its beautiful setting, it's hard to believe that The Links (as it's known) is only 11 miles from the bustling streets of Ireland's capital city but then that is one of the property's major benefits - peace and serenity, yet close to Dublin city. Each of the 103 bedrooms has been cleverly designed to ensure that they overlook either the sea or the golf course and while the suites certainly offer a different degree of luxury, all the rooms offer exceptionally comfortable accommodation, with superb facilities.
The principal dining room at Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links is the Osborne Restaurant, which was named after the artist, Walter Osborn, who painted the very view from the hotel that you will see in a different light every day of your stay. This is an award-winning restaurant, which serves an excellence range of international cuisine. Dining at the Links Brasserie offers a less formal setting and is ideal for an after golf meal, while the oak-paneled Jameson Bar is perfect place to relax over a drink, a cigar or a light snack.
ONLINE GOLF TRAVEL RATING
Boasting a superb links course on site, this is a really popular spot for golfers. It offers peace and quiet but is close to the city. The perfect base from which to play the likes of Portmarnock, The Island, Baltray and Royal Dublin.
Situated just outside the village of Portmarnock, approximately 11 miles northeast of Dublin City. Going north on the M50 motorway, follow the signs for Malahide and Portmarnock. The Links is through the village on your right hand side.
