The next morning we were more than a tad disappointed to discover that there was no hot water – almost an exact replay of our experience on Inishmore, only this was The Culloden (so VERY unexpected as it was much prettier and had a higher star rating!). John rang reception and they sent someone up immediately, I guess to make sure that we knew how to work the intricate shower system. When he realised that it wasn’t just incompetent tourists, he ran off in search of the problem. However, that took time. We utilised our now deft basin washing skills, dressed, and headed to breakfast, expecting to be able to shower afterwards. But luck was not on our side this morning, and as we were leaving the hotel at 10am for our day out, we were told that the problem had been fixed, and sorry about the inconvenience (at least they were sincere!). But it was too little, too late for us in our tight schedule of relaxation and sight-seeing, and we headed off (me with an un-coifed coif, and John looking his dapper self).
- Frog and Fox (??) face off!
Glad you enjoyed your trip to Mount Stewart and Northern Ireland as a whole, hopefully we'll see you again sometime soon! 🙂
Nice to read about ourselves, Robert was in tonight for his birthday dinner and told us you wrote about your experience here. Hope to see you guys again when your down this direction..many thanks..
Thanks for that! Robert did text to say he'd taken my advice and had the trout (and loved it!). Wish we could've been there with them celebrating, and eating your wonderful food!
