Travel Review: The Midlands Park Hotel is the perfect spot for a catch up
Spending a night in Ireland's Ancient East offered a chance to truly switch off with a friend Trying to meet friends as you get older is a series of 'will we?' 'could we?' 'are you free?' queries for a rendezvous that often takes months to plan. So when you are both free at the same time and can travel: book that trip. That's how it was earlier this year when I was invited to the Midlands Park Hotel in Portlaoise. One of my closest friends lives in Cork and arranging to spend time together and not over the phone or WhatsApp chat borders on strategic.
