Restaurant within Gracehill Golf Club At The Dark Hedges

This opportunity stems from the recent purchase of the wider property. The new owners are investing heavily in Gracehill Golf Club itself and membership numbers have grown significantly over a short space of time. The next part of the renewal journey further to the opening of the adjacent Pantry Café business is to get the restaurant within the Belltower Club House up and running again and hence the current marketing. The new tenant will be able to gain custom from Golf Club membership for daily meals, snacks and special functions and also of course seek to pull in local community and tourists for any proposed restaurant offering depending on the interests of the party taking on the lease.

The restaurant is within a period property dating from c. 1775 with as such many period features still evident internally and externally. It is located to the rear of the Manor House the drive way of which is in fact the ‘Dark Hedges” as featured in the Game of Thrones series approximately 5.5 miles east of Ballymoney en route to Ballycastle. This is now in itself firmly in the tour schedule for numerous coach loads of visitors from all over the world which provided another potential income stream for an incoming business owner from a drinks snacks and merchandise perspective potentially.

The accommodation includes the formerly licenced restaurant (will need a new application) and kitchen facilities at ground floor level with 1st floor function room. All are well decorated able to seat c. 100 patrons in the various parts at any one time, as such able to cater for small weddings functions at this location with ease. 

There is an external terrace for additional outdoor seating weather permitting with exceptional views over the golf course and parklands. The building which is shared with the Golf Club who have club rooms and changing facilities in other parts of the block benefits from CCTV and an alarm system for all.
