Definitely the Halfway House near Banbridge. The food is gorgeous. My favourite dish is the Carpetbaggers steak with Steak Diane Sauce and banoffee for dessert.

Winning the all Ireland Estee Lauder 'best of the best' competition for customer service.

I would give a lot to charity and my family.

Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream holiday be?
I got married in Antigua three years ago and stayed at the Blue Water Hotel. It was amazing. I would love to go back there as we were pampered from start to finish.

To carry on being happy and thankful for everything I have.
