    It will be interesting to see what they have planned for it, it has so much potential for various developments if done right.

    RTE News reporting that it is the Hughes family that have bought the place. They plan to invest €50m in improvements.

    Visited last summer and found it very enjoyable. Can't wait to see what's planned for the future.

    Well they own Hotel Westport which backs onto it. They have a lot of plans to utilise it that way. And the amount of grounds with it also. Ashford Castle/Lisoughrey Lodge approach?

    The purchasing family have a good track record in various businesses. Great to see a local family involved.

    A thought for the widow and daughters of the late Jeremy Browne. They made valiant offers over the years to keep that business going

    Indeed, Westport benefited from Westport House and those who ran it.
