"Live Music was excellent"
Went to a live traditional session in the hotel bar called Duffy's and it was fantastic. Also had the 3rd time World Irish dancer there playing and singing. Apparently he is from Tramore and plays there on regular occasions. Also did offer of stew and pint of Guinness for 10 bucks and it was both tasty and great value. All staff really friendly. Came here 3 nights out of 5. Well done. John Taylor, Kildare
