The hotel is 30km south of Dublin city centre and easily accessible from the N81. It is in a remote setting with views of the Wicklow Mountains and Vartry reservoir.

Developer Paddy Kelly lost control of Tulfarris after Anglo Irish Bank appointed a receiver in 2009 to collect loans of €25 million.

A hotel asset management services group was subsequently appointed to run the facility.

Kelly bought Tulfarris in 2003 for €17.5 million.

The estate was once home to legendary rugby player Karl Mullen.

Kelly and his business partners invested about €60 million in developing Tulfarris into a resort aimed at families.
