I impetuously purchased a nice looking round of blue stilton or similar on the first day of a long weekend away. Back at the hotel I opened the door to the minibar cabinet, and put the cheese on the top shelf. After a further afternoon and evening of excursion we returned to a rather niffy room. I'd somehow misunderstood the construction of the minibar. The shelf was in fact outside the chilled area and being steadily warmed by the fridge mechanism. Permanently open windows and use of Do Not Disturb did a lot to dissipate the evidence, and although it kind of lingered for the rest of our stay the hotel never contacted us re an extra cleansing fee.

Suitably matured cheese was delicious for the next week or two .
