    Sold in 2013 for conversion to a private house? See - www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/a-fo... Which has this - "... The 11-bedroom hotel was built in 1805 by Charles Rae, a British navy officer, and has more than six acres of magical gardens, including a front lawn that leads down to the beach, and three converted, self-contained cottages that were used as holiday lets. It had been run as a small but elegant three-star hotel by the Fletcher family since 1948, and had an award – winning restaurant, but the business closed two years ago. Next to Rathmullan House hotel, Fort Royal also has a tennis court and nine-hole pitch and putt course overlooking the sea as well as an arboretum and a walled garden. And as if that wasn’t enough, a 204sq m (2,196sq ft) detached manager’s house was also included in the sale."

    The foreshore has lost the rocky outcrops and gained a sandy beach over the last 70 years. Dropped pin maps.app.goo.gl/rQtBPBLgUAACdJKKA
