The original Magherabuoy House was built by a Liverpudlian doctor following the design of Sir Charles Lanyon - at that time Ireland's leading architect. Lanyon also designed Queen's University, Crumlin Road Gaol, Portrush town Hall and many other churches and notable public buildings across the North.
Magherabuoy was the home of Sir Richard Dawson Bates from 1934-47, Minister of Home Affairs at the old Northern Ireland government at Stormont. Bates was a close ally of Lord Craigavon and a controversial figure in his own right, often using Magherabuoy House to entertain foreign dignatories.
The House has recently been renovated, highlighting the period features of this former gentleman's residence and adding 3 stylish meeting / private dining rooms to the Hotel.
