    I was taking a look at Tripadvisor recently following a suggestion from the OH that we visit Dunbrody House for coffee or a meal. I read through some of the reviews, and came across one complaining about the 'country' smell. A reply from the owner of the house (well, according to the name of the account on Tripadvisor, anyway) responded with this comment:
    Dear pathogen,
    We cannot agree more. That farmers are permitted to spread whatever it is they spread and stink the rest of us out it is totally unacceptable. We had a week of that to endure and regardless of how many candles and fires were lit we could not get away from the smell. Personally I had a headache for a week. The smell seemed to permeate the very walls... Hoping to see you again in more agreeable country air.
    Kind Regards

    Personally, I'm not very impressed by it, and following a disappointing visit when I was there, they won't be getting a second chance from me. I won't be going back again.

    Chances are he's just pandering to keep the guest happy and as a show of "solidarity" with guests rather than fighting the complaints...

    Reading some of the other comments about his hotel, Mr. Dundon, would be well advised to show a bit of humility, instead of passing his problems off on the neighbouring farmer.

    Maybe we could start a poll

    Do you think it was?
    a) pig sh1te
    b) regular fym
    c) cattle slurry
    d) something else

    In fairness though trying to run a hotel/restaurant business with some farmer spreading pig slurry nearby can't be easy.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
