Our Poshest Christmas Ever: The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow
"They say that dogs aren't just for Christmas .... but let me tell you, Christmas is for dogs. I had the best one yet when I went with Nessa and Peter to stay at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Enniskerry.
I'd heard that they normally only take little pooches - you know, the little chatty ones that fit inside your handbag - but because the weather was so bad with all that white stuff on the ground, they made an exception and let me check in; very good taste they have in hotel guests, I have to say.
I was very impressed with the whole shebang. They had porters to bring up my bags. A week's supply of dentastix not to mention several squeaky toys are pretty heavy, you know. The room was really comfortable. I had my own bed of lovely red leather and wood, as well as my own bowl for water and biscuits (and rashers, when Nessa could snaffle some for me). I didn't mind having to share the room with my Ma & Da - they're pretty clean and didn't snore much.
Nessa said the food was gorgeous, and we had great fun down in the lobby watching the other guests come and go. I even got to sniff some of the other dogs - there was a particularly attractive doberman pinscher, and I nearly did.
We went for great walks in Powerscourt Demense, and while my folks were busy taking photos of the Sugar Loaf, I was bouncing in the snow and then eating as much of it as I could swallow.
This is a five star review for a five star hotel. Check it out.
See you later, Baxter"
