We consider a quantum fully packed loop model on the square lattice with a frustration-free pro-jector Hamiltonian and ring-exchange interactions acting on plaquettes. A boundary Hamiltonian is added to favour domain-wall boundary conditions and link ground state properties to the combinatorics and six-vertex model literature. We discuss how the boundary term fractures the Hilbert space into Krylov subspaces, and we prove that the Hamiltonian is ergodic within each subspace, leading to a series of energy-equidistant exact eigenstates in the lower end of the spectrum. Among them we systematically classify both finitely entangled eigenstates and product eigenstates. Using an exact recursion relation and the enumeration of half-plane fully packed loop configurations with varying boundary configurations on one side, we perform a numerically exact lattice calculation of the ground state bipartite entanglement entropy, yielding area law scaling. Finally, the spectrum is shown to be gapless in the thermodynamic limit with a trial wave function constructed by adding a twist to the ground state superposition.
