The Loft was as described in other reviews. It's eclectically furnished and decorated; we found it quite comfortable. We appreciated the juice, eggs etc that Valerie left in the fridge for us, and also the fact that her mum turned the heating on in advance of our arrival.
It was only a short drive to town and also a supermarket. Further up the road is Kells and the priory ruins: don't miss a wander around the site.
The only downside to the loft are the sloping ceilings, as shown in the photos. We hit our heads a few times on day 1 and 2 but by day 3 we must have adjusted: no more collisions. I think you'd get used to the slope on a longer stay, and really, the apartment is so nice it's still warrants 5 stars in our eyes.
