I went to Cork for a long weekend in May to stay with a few friends. Barry was a superb host. He was honest and told us what was worth doing and what was worth avoiding. My friends arrived early the following day and Barry nonetheless made them a lovely breakfast which was very welcome. He gave us recommendations of... More
