Savills and JLL have launched a marketing campaign for the sale of Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort, a four-star resort in Trim, County Meath. The property combines hotel accommodation, holiday homes, leisure facilities and an 18-hole championship golf course within easy reach of Dublin and the airport.

Scale and commercial potential

The resort includes 131 guest bedrooms and 28 self-catering three-bedroom holiday homes. Savills says the holding presents scope to enhance returns by improving operations, refining branding and better utilising its wide range of amenities.

Knightsbrook occupies a large, mixed-use footprint that advisors say could respond to reorganisation or targeted investment to lift performance.

“Knightsbrook has the potential to be one of Ireland’s leading resort hotels, combining extensive facilities with a prime location close to Dublin and the airport,” said Tom Barrett, director of hotels and leisure at Savills. “Its scale and upside potential make it a standout investment opportunity in the Irish hospitality market.”

Food, events and spa facilities

The site offers a broad food and beverage programme, including the Rococo Restaurant, Swifts Bar, Terrace Lounge and a Rooftop Terrace. Large conference and banqueting spaces can accommodate up to 1,800 delegates, positioning the resort as an events venue for both corporate and social gatherings.

Wellness is a key component of the resort. Knightsbrook is home to the award-winning River Spa, which has 14 treatment rooms and a health club featuring an 18-metre pool, a thermal suite, a gym and two dedicated fitness studios.

Parkland and golf

Set across 172 acres of parkland, the resort centres on a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr. The golfing complex includes a clubhouse with a meeting suite and a pro shop, supporting both members and visitors.

Buyer interest and outlook

JLL’s advisers point to remaining growth potential as a draw for investors. “The Knightsbrook is a large-scale Irish resort offering a variety of sought-after facilities, including leisure, spa, golf and holiday homes,” said Daniel O’Connor, head of hotels and living at JLL.

“With significant performance growth potential remaining, we are expecting very strong national and international buyer interest in this quality and rare resort property.”
