Hi.
The dates I can offer you are below. We are only doing 2 weeks blocks. We accept 2 Girls students of different nationalities. Each student will have a single bedroom each, no sharing.
Please note that we cannot accept French students this summer, as we already have French students booked. We are currently looking for students of other nationalities only.
22nd July to 5th August from Dublin airport
Thanks
If you are looking for a house with a large family, full of laughter, fun and good company, keep reading. You will be treated as one of the family and when you come home from school or a trip away, there will always be someone to ask ‘how was your day?’ :)
Welcome to our Family :) .
We are a family with 6 children. The eldest child is 20, the youngest is 9. We have been hosting students for the past 12 years, all of whom are still in touch with us and some have even come back again. We are a happy, relaxed family who like to have fun and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Our 7-bedroom house is located in a nice quiet country location in Co. Tipperary, over 1km from the small town of Borrisoleigh and 12km from the larger town of Thurles. Next door to our house is Fairy Fort Farm which is owned by Derry’s father. It is open to visitors during the Summer (for us all year round :) ) and has a wide mixture of animals such as ponies, donkeys, rabbits, etc.
The local secondary school is a small school with a real welcoming atmosphere from students and teachers alike.

It could be just a nice walk around the farm next door, feeding the animals or a hike to the top of the nearby Devil’s Bit mountain close by. We have a 9-seater car/minibus for transporting us all around and like to go on excursions to woodland walks, lakeside locations, hill-walking or various festivals which take place throughout the Summer where you can experience Irish culture and heritage. There is an Equestrian centre close to our house for anyone who likes horse riding. All dietary requirements are catered for.
