    The whole loft was beautiful, super cozy and comfortable. We loved it and will definitely recommend and come back ☺️ Bairbre and Richard are lovely and welcoming. They’ve created a gorgeous place to disconnect and enjoy.

    The loft was beautifully decorated, comfortable and warm during our stay in December. The hosts went above and beyond for us, providing us with eggs, bread, butter and jam for our stay, we really can't thank them enough for their hospitality. We...

Johnsfort, where the beautiful Marianne Cottage is located, brings another beautiful restored accommodation, Bartholomew’s Loft. As experienced super hosts, with over 200 hundred reviews giving Marianne Cottage an overall 5 star rating we know what our guests want and expect. We always endeavor to meet these requirements. Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish upside down space. Please check out Marianne Cottage if we have no availability here for your dates or if you have a large group.
If we were to pick our favourite spot in the entire loft it would be sitting on the 1950s mustard sofa with a cup of coffee looking out the floor to ceiling window with its uninterrupted views of the countryside. At its best in early morning light, skylights open, the sound of birdsong and sheep bleating.20 metres outside the window 3 Highland cattle stroll up for a drink of water,the grass now glistening from the morning dew..What's for breakfast? Eggs of course, freshly laid by our own hens. Heaven is indeed a place on Earth! Every detail of Bartholomew's Loft was carefully selected by us, from Parquet flooring salvaged from a local cathedral to handmade tiles to the chesterfield sofas. When you stay here you are surrounded by history with architectural and design heritage ranging from the 1700s right up to the 1980s. However this does not mean you will be stuck in some sort of time warp. WIFI is excellent and free, heating is zoned and timed and our Dimplex electric fire creates a fantastic ambiance in a few seconds. Winter evenings can be spent in front of the fire with the feet up listening to the patter of rain on the windows with a nice glass of wine or just a cup of tea.
The loft is great for all occasions; Romantic getaways? Certainly.... Group get togethers? Perfect... Family breaks? Absolutely..... Base for touring Ireland? From here you can be at Dublin airport in 1 hour, Dublin city also 1 hour, Belfast 2 hours, Galway 2 hours, Cliffs of Moher 2h45min so we are a perfect location for exploring all of Ireland. We can even set out some itineries for your trips from our own great experiences travelling around our beautiful country. The central location of Johnsfort means you don't have long distances to see the beauty of the country: MUST SEE: Lough Crew Cairns: 15 mins Lough Crew Gardens: 15 mins Killua Castle and Gardens: 5 mins Fore Abbey and Nancy to Nellie Loop Walk: 20 mins Mullaghmeen Woods: 25 mins - largest beechwood plantation in Europe with smooth paths for cycling and walking and for pushing a buggy. The kids will love it!
