I was visiting the Hook Lighthouse and seen the sign for Loftus Hall and ventured in. Now I had a look at the other reviews and I cant understand how anyone could give this anything over a 3 star rating. Its free in but you must pay 2 to get out? The stately house is boarded up, it looks derelict. The gardens are just full of grass, only the middle walkway has any flowers. The visitor center is so dark its impossible to read the information displayed under the photos. There is a nice restaurant or coffee shop, a brick a brack shop, toilets but really unless your really stuck to use the toilet or have a coffee, then I really don't get it. Only half a mile up the road you have Hook Lighthouse with far more attractions and amenities, so please don't waste your time and skip this for a visit, because its simply not worth it. Sorry I have to be honest.
