History

Established in 1995.

The Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links is built on part of the former Jameson Whiskey family estate. The original house dates back to 1847 and was resided in by William Jameson who was a personal friend of the then Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. In 1907 King Edward VII and his wife Queen Alexandra visited to unveil a plaque in the garden to commemorate the marriage between members of two great whiskey families — Haig and Jameson. This plaque survives today and is the focal point of the garden and a cast is also on display behind reception. Willie Jameson as he was known, was a great yachtsman and gave a yacht to the Prince of Wales which was renamed Royal Britannia. When Willie was offered a title for his kind gift, he refused as he said the name Jameson was known worldwide by those who drank anyway!

The original house is now home to the famous Jameson Bar with its panelled walls and ornate ceiling, the Bunker Bar and conservatory. Each area can be used independently.

STAY AWAY from this place for the next bit of time. They are remodeling and it’s terribly loud. Looking at the beach listening to very loud drilling and major construction. The bad thing is on the website they only mention they are «re-​tiling» the lobby! NOT TRUE, BEWARE– MAJOR CONSTRUCTION! Yet they still charge full price for the rooms. When you inquire about it they are rude and act as if the misleading website disclaimer was enough warning, WRONG!!!

Hotel was ok. Thankfully I got a better deal price wise by booking directly through their site rather than via another search engine which is what I originally did when I planned for this vacation. Otherwise I would not be happy with what I paid for. Room was average. What disappointed me is that they regret to tell me that that the fitness center is not available as well as the restaurant onsite as it had been booked by private functions when we arrived. The desk staff promised us a reservation at the bar which did serve food but there was no table reserved for us and had to fend for ourselves.
Towels in the room were bare minimum-​one hand and body towel for each of us. No face towels or extras like bathrobes.
I haven’t stepped out of the hotel yet but the facility itself was ‘nice’. It however has yet to impress me.

So disappointed with this hotel. We had heard great reviews about the restaurant and the lunch spread they put on, so we decided to go for an afternoon treat.
The inside of the hotel is gorgeous, feels and looks very plush and that’s why they get two stars.
As for the restaurant, we ordered 2 bowls of soup, 1 chowder and scones and tea with two gluten free sandwiches. We waited over half an hour for the soup & the chowder to arrive and when it did it they were a cold. We had to send the sandwiches back as we had both asked for them to be toasted. After all our food was sent back, the scones arrived for the 4th person, and these were also cold, even though he requested them to be heated. We didn’t bother sending those back though.
The staff were a little standoffish when we complained, and it’s horrible in the first instance to have to complain or send your food back. They took the soups and chowder off the bill, but still left a bad taste in our mouth and will not be back.

We stayed here for a friend’s wedding and decided to stay for 2 nights.
We were in room 401 (I unfortunately can’t remember the name of the room, but it’s in the main hotel, rather than walking for ages to get to it!!)
This room had a four-​poster bed and overlooked the area where we had all of the photos taken.
The room was large with a big bathroom. The shower was wonderful, really powerful and helped to ease away the aches and pains of the wedding night alcohol consumption!!! I would have liked to have some conditioner for my hair though, as none was provided — just basic shower gel and shampoo.
However, for the price (98 Euro) it was completely acceptable — extras in the room just bump the price up.
One thing I would say is that there was a red rose petal under our bed from a previous guest, which worries me how much of the room is overlooked whilst being cleaned. However, the rest of the room and the hotel itself seemed very clean. We also couldn’t keep the window open without putting something underneath to prevent it from closing. But that’s all minor, really.
The loaction is beautiful, right on Portmarnock beach. We were lucky with some beautiful sunny weather and a light breeze.
Dining at the hotel is delicious — great food. It’s about 2.50 Euro for a small bottle of club soda, which was a bit annoying, but again, nothing major.
I left with a huge smile on my face having spent a wonderful couple of days there.
I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone — it’s well worth it and a spectacular location for a wedding.

We found the Portmarnock on the
site and were not sure what to expect. We very very pleasantly surprised! This hotel is the former residence of the Jameson family. Rooms were very comfortable and the shower was incredible with rainshower heads. The Jameson bar is a great spot for drinks. Staff is friendly and attentive. We had dinner here. Fish and chips and pints of Guinness. Cod was very fresh. Golf is $ 45 round. Beautiful course and well maintained.
