Loved the Loft! From the WOW factor of the beautiful space from the minute I stepped in, the Loft was a fantastic experience. There were What's Happening messages on the chalk board in the entry for the 3 nights we were there and to make it even MORE special, a welcome bottle of Prosecco! The location is unbeatable, you can walk all around Kilkenny from this super central location and great pubs were minutes away (as well as across the courtyard!) Parking was a breeze in the gated lot. There are so many interesting historic sites to visit in the town as well as outside within easy driving distance, if I'd known how convenient Kilkenny was to many sites in under an hour like Rock of Cashel, I'd have booked longer just be able to stay at the Loft and enjoy more of Kilkenny's pubs with traditional music at night. Quiet, a great night's sleep, terrific shower, great WIFI, guest guidebook with many suggestions, grocery store minutes away, and best of all - terrific people.
