All the suites, and the 17 units which made up phase one of the Links Cottages aspect of the development are privately-owned and have been leased back to Doonbeg golf club to form a bank of accommodation available to visitors.

The units now on the market will be sold on a similar basis, allowing purchasers the option of having them included in the club's leasing scheme. Irish investors deciding to take this option can offset approximately 75% of the purchase price against all other Irish rental income over a 10-year period. A full refund of VAT is available to purchasers.

The cottages, designed by US architect, John Denton Haley are finished to five-star standard. Interiors have been furnished by Jacquelynne P Lanham of Atlanta Georgia and CLR of Dublin. CCH Architects acted as project architects.

Materials include French limestone floors, Vermont roofing slates, 19th century wooden beams from France and America. White Venetian marble with grey veining from Carrera in Italy is used extensively throughout the bathrooms.

Fitted as standard are Neff kitchen appliances, Sanyo air conditioning, and Grohe and Hudson Reed plumbed fittings.

"People can see just how well all of our properties are finished and exactly what they are getting for their investment, " says Ed Tovey, vicepresident in charge of property sales for Doonbeg.
