Clare County Council grant planning permission for the redevelopment of the Miles Sampson designed Smyths Hotel in Feakle, Co Clare
On the 4th of November 2008 Clare County Council decided to grant planning permission for the redevelopment of Smyths Hotel.
The new project involves:
- 10 bedroom hotel, with large function room, conference room, gym.
- 9 Holiday cottages that will be managed by the hotel and have been designed so they can be configured as self catering accommodation or as separate additional bedrooms.
- 14 sheltered housing / retirement village units. These are designed for aging people who seek the support of local service, but do not was to go into full care. The units can be used as normal houses and as the owners age the services of the hotel will be at hand to give assistance.
Throughout the project architect Miles Sampson took care to create a sustainable development that would feature a biomass district heating system among other eco features.
