Owner Of Co. Down's Mourne Park House Wants To Open Luxury Hotel

The owner of Co. Down's Mourne Park House, Marion Needham Russell, has revived plans to convert the property into a hotel.

The central block of Mourne Park House was damaged by a fire in May of 2013, at which time plans were being drawn up to turn the property into a boutique hotel.

Pre-Planning Application Notice

According to The Belfast Telegraph, a pre-planning application notice that proposes converting the 16th century stately home into a luxury hotel and spa has been submitted to Newry, Mourne and Down Council.

The Kilmorey Arms Hotel of Kilkeel will host a public meeting to air the plans for the property in September.

If approved, the property's conversion will involve a refurbishment and the construction of a new-build extension.
