Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of Magherabeg House in Donegal Town into a tourist accommodation. The historic property, located on 28 acres of land, will undergo a transformation to accommodate tourism activities. The decision was made by local authorities following a review of the proposal.
The conversion project includes the renovation of the main house and surrounding buildings to meet modern standards while preserving historical features. The site is situated in the heart of Donegal Town, a key tourist destination in County Donegal. The application was submitted by a private developer seeking to enhance the area’s hospitality offerings.
The approval marks a significant step in the development of the local tourism sector. Donegal Town has seen increasing interest in heritage-based tourism in recent years. The conversion is expected to contribute to the local economy by creating jobs and attracting visitors. The project is anticipated to be completed within the next 18 months.
