Welcome everywhere, with one exception

RECENTLY we visited Cork and Kinsale, taking advantage of the very favourable fares offered by Jet2 from Newcastle.

The purpose of our visit was to play in the Cork Bridge Congress for three days and then spend four days touring the west Cork coastal towns and villages.

We are regular tournament players and think the Maryborough Hotel in Cork is a superb venue, certainly the best bridge venue we have experienced. Likewise, the Trident Hotel in Kinsale has a superb harbour front location. Both hotels had excellent restaurants and their staff made every effort to make our stay memorable.
