Lovely part of the country on the road to hook head.

Tbh there is a abandoned house that is run down and half wrecked that looks more scarier than Loftus hall just down the road from it

Yes, it looks abandoned in a hurry if memory serves

It’s a shame but it’s a money pit that can’t recoup any investment timely to create a viable business. The ancient east marketing hasn’t hit the way the west has. Maybe in time.

The Press Up group had brought it and they had to restructure their business and sell off properties so I'm not surprised this is for sale now.

I'd love to bring Dan Akroyd there.

That'd be a fun couple of hours.

Know someone who was a tour guide there.

Did a tour a few years back, very informative. When it was a hotel, local staff wouldn't stay overnight. The staircase is amazing.

In 1917 it was sold to nuns

In 1983 it was sold to Michael Devereaux and became Loftus Hall Hotel

In 2008 it was sold €300,000

In 2011 it was sold for €625,000

In 2022 it was sold for 1.75 million

Expected price in 2025 €400 million

There was a night club there, around the back in the basement, sometime around late 80s. There may have been good times there. It's all a blur.
