The works included the restoration, conservation and extensive refurbishment of the 18th century mansion that had been burnt to the ground in 1921, and was derelict since that time. Extensive work was also undertaken in the addition of a new build hotel complex, spa, pool with an enclosed glazed bridge linking the mansion and the new build.

Additional infrastructural work also included treatment plant, marine outfall, public road realignment, and the provision of a new 2km watermain from Castletownbere.
