Rathmullan House

Our bus pulls in cautiously through a narrow gate into a park and drives up to the front door.  Cheers and applause for Martin, our bus driver (in front of the bus) for negotiating this and other tight spots.

  
The house was built in 1820 for a hunting and fishing lodge, bought and expanded by the founder of the Belfast Bank, used as a hikers hostel for several years, and has been expanded and renovated by the Wheeler family since 1962.  

   
Dining and function rooms to the right of the main building.

Our room is the arched window under the far left gable, while John and Lynn occupy the corner room next to it with three large bay windows overlooking the park grounds. Down two flights, through the halls and main house to the dining room and back to the room is a distance of .34 miles, according to the pedometer.
