This place is a real treat and must for anyone looking to stay somewhere different with tonnes of character!
Maeve was such a good host from start to finish. Full of great recommendations and helpful advice. She has a real eye for design, its beautifully decorated, with all the amenities you need and its also spotless clean.
I stayed here with my partner, toddler and newborn and we all had the best time. The outdoor area is as beautiful as indoors, perfect for young kids as they've loads of room to run around and wear themselves out ;) We had dinner outside each evening overlooking the best views of green fields with no overlooking properties in sight.
The town is close by to get all the basics. We didn't spend much time in the town as we wanted to soak up as much of the property and the experience as possible.
Its close to athlone town if your looking to do some shopping with all the major highstreet brands available there.
We went to glendeer farm which is in athlone. It is definitely worth a visit if you have small kids. My son loved it, he got to feed all the animals, play in the huge playground and visit the fairy garden.
We also went the glesson lakehouse. Its a beautiful golf resort situation on lough ree and its just 12 mins from the property. It has a large outdoor area with a bar, playground, swimming pool. So many great photo opportunities throughout this fabulous resort.
Theres another great spot down the road called Wineport Lodge. Its a hotel also on the lake and so picturesque and peaceful.
For all three spots I would advise booking ahead of your trip to avoid disappointment.
All in all I can't recommend the Loft more. It is the perfect getaway if your looking to unwind and relax while also visiting some nice spots in the nearby towns.
We will definitely be back 😉
