Plans to double number of rooms at Seagoe Hotel in Co Armagh

30 March 2020

The Seagoe Hotel in Portadown, Co Armagh has lodged plans to more than double in size, adding 45 extra rooms.

The hotel currently has 34 rooms and previous planning permission had been granted to add 24 bedrooms but now the proposal would see it offer 79 bedrooms in total.

The hotel said the development would create 20 new jobs, increase its turnover by a third and add additional purchases of supplies from the local economy of £250,000 a year.

A planning statement for the Seagoe Hotel said that the proposal "seeks to invest in an existing accommodation resource at Seagoe Hotel, by providing further facilities to cater for additional tourists that visit the area and wider surroundings".

Plans would also include the realignment of car parking and all associated site works, while the extension would be located in the existing car park and garden area.

The hotel is owned by Paula and Darren Gilbert, who acquired it in 2017.
