(sneaky car parking costs) Loftus Hall is a magnificent house. I would love to see it fully restored to it's former glory, That's for another day, The staff were very friendly a very well organised, the theatricals were very good also, so well done. the cafe was good too, BUT! you book your tickets on line, travel to Loftus Hall from far by car(no public transport so car is pretty much the only form of transport to this place), you arrive to the main entrance gate, you drive down the drive way and you meet this car park barrier.(at this stage your saying I'm going to have to pay for exiting the car park) at this stage your not going to turn around. another way of extracting the last couple of euros from your pocket before you leave!!!!, it's not the money but very sneaky, (Please note veeerrrrrrrrrrry shoorrrrrrrrrrrrrt sighted Quigley family.) It left a bitter pill to swallow!!! if I was in the area again I might pop in for a coffee but not now I think. I would have giving four starts but not for these barriers. (remove sneaky barriers please and I'll return)
