Joy-H:It never really closed down, but it was subjected to a thorough inspection. Now according to local newspapers, the culprit was a "novovirus" NOT anything bacterial!
This virus they are talking about is similar to what happens on cruise ships when an infected person is on board.

Whatever. the end result was 48 hours of the trots, and a queezy feeling that makes having fun a bit difficult. Not life threatening but uncomfortable.

I am really sure that the hotel people will be extremely careful with you and yours during your stay.

Enjoy and please report back as to your impressions. That is a lovely part of the country, so get out and explore a bit...

Hillbilly, I can't wait to get there. I do hope though that by the time we get there the nasty virus will have gone on its merry way :cheeky:

It should be long gone. They will do a thorough cleaning etc.... According to the news which stated that the diagnosis came from British experts - the virus was brought into the hotel! I wish that would make the headlines but I am a realist.

You should have a wonderful holiday - take normal precautions and remember the word - MODERATION - in food, drink, exposure to the sun....etc.

ITN - Morrisons 'linked' to E coli death

At least, following the sad death of an elderly lady from an e-coli outbreak in Scotland, apparently caused by infected cooked meat, the Daily Mail has stopped mentioning people getting unwell in the DR. They are warning people not to go on holiday to Morrison's supermarkets*




*that last bit might not actually be true, but it is the sort of tripe that they normally post
