O’Donnellan & Joyce has just brought to the market the Merriman Hotel, possibly one of the most distinctive hotels in the west, which will be offered for auction on Friday May 25 at 3pm in the Victoria Hotel, Eyre Square, Galway. The hotel, located in the centre of Kinvara, has an AMV of only €400,000.
The hotel has an attractive façade with substantial frontage and the largest thatched roof in the country. On entering the Merriman on the ground floor, there is a magnificent foyer which leads into a self-contained bar called M’Asal Beag Dubh, a traditional pub full of character which is also one of the main licensed premises and busiest pubs in the Kinvara area. Also on the ground floor there is a substantial dining area/function room with a large fully equipped kitchen. On the first and second floors there are 32 bedrooms which have been finished to the highest of standards with en suites, all extremely bright and comfortable. Externally there is a large car park.
The Merriman is situated on the main street in Kinvara which is regarded as one of County Galway’s main tourist destinations, and is referred to as the Gateway to the Burren. Kinvara is an extremely picturesque traditional village overlooking Galway Bay. Dunguaire Castle, located at the entrance to the village, is a major tourist attraction in the area.
The Merriman is the main hotel in this locality and has a tremendous ambience. There is no work required on the property. According to Colm O’Donnellan of O’Donnellan & Joyce auctioneers this is a tremendous business opportunity to acquire a leading and distinctive hotel in one of the west of Ireland’s main tourist destinations at a very attractive price.
