27 September 2012,
Due to the keys " going missing", we had to cancel our next accommodation at Cliftden in the far west, Co. Connemarra, which I really wanted to see. It is wild and rugged and has Connemarra ponies roaming free. I very nearly bought a Connemarra ponie for Libby when she was young. They are tough and kind, can do anything. Never mind, I'll get there one day. Angie and I had to stay in this dreadful place one more night. Who knows when the next set of keys will arrive!!! I might say I was a tad distressed as we now have to cancel our planned visit to the Giants Causeway, a place of unusual beauty with hexagonal shaped rocks emerging alone the coastline, due to volcanic activity of thousands of years ago. The hotel booked us into the Manor House Hotel, Inneskillan , slightly inland but nearer to Beleek where we definitely wanted to go.Yippee, the keys arrived by courier at 1.45pm. We were out of there at 1.50pm!! I feel pretty sure that something weird happened at that hotel and I won't be going back.
We drove through some delightful countryside stopping for photos( which I still haven't worked out to upload yet!), arrived at the most gorgeous Manor House ever!! Staff very helpful, friendly and wow what a place. Thoroughly recommend this Hotel. It had a spa, health club, heated pool and all manner of spoilings! Angie and I went for a bit of exercise in the pool befor dinner. The rooms provided the dressing gowns and slippers and we had to purchase a cap. Hygiene paramount so showers before the use of the pool. Showered after so then ready for a scrumptious dinner with wine. Our rooms were excellent.
