NEW - Welcome to Catherine and Bryan Family Farm
We are a family of 5 and work on our family farm. We live in the countryside. My son lives/studies away from the farm. Horses play a large part of our lives but no days are ever the same. We absolutely love hosting and have hosted students for 20 years.
We love to welcome siblings and friends.
If guests have any special requests please let me know and we will be happy to help.
No two days are the same on a farm but we are extremely easy going. I (Catherine) am home all day as I am working from home. Our dog's are walked daily in a beautiful forest which joins our farm. We have sheep, cows and horses. Horse riding is a regular occurrence. We have 4 beautiful horses which are ridden in our own arena and then on our farm. Off farm pastimes include hill walking, visiting castles and 'Glendalough ', swimming, cinema, cycling and a day's shopping. We love to light a fire, make popcorn and watch a movie at night time. My daughters love to play a board game, bake some buns or brush their ponies. We often eat out in nice restaurants visit friends.
We love to host siblings or friends and will guarantee and brilliant time with lots of activities and days out.
Her stay at Catherine and Bryan's was a rich and very interesting experience I highly recommend this family who was able to warmly welcome the girls with a lot of listening, attention and kindness I was also able to easily exchange with Catherine during the stay who did everything possible to ensure that the stay was very good for the evening. a success. As a parent, I was confident. The next stay may be for my son... thank you for the varied activities offered Coline is very eager to come back
Tifenn (13 ans) est revenue enchantée de son séjour de10 jours dans la famille de Catherine. C'était sa première expérience toute seule, hors de la maison. Ma fille, d'un naturel timide, a pu s'épanouir à leur contact et oser se lancer à converser en anglais. Catherine, Bryan et leurs filles ont toujours été à l'écoute et bienveillants. Les activités ont été variées (vélo, promenade avec le chien Coby, équitation, visites, prendre soin des animaux, fabrication de cookies). "Ils sont adorables" est la phrase qui résume le mieux, dans la bouche de ma fille ce qu'elle a vécu en leur compagnie. J'ai pu le constater moi-même en allant récupérer ma fille à leur domicile où j'ai été reçue chaleureusement autour d'une "cup o tea" et des cookies. Nous avons échangé pendant 2h. C'est une famille vraiment charmante que je recommande et chez qui je renverrai ma fille sans hésitation.

Hello, we are 2 sisters (13 and 14 years old) and it was our first time in Ireland. We had a blast ! Catherine and her family are awesome. Catherine is very nice, dedicated and warm. Bryan is so funny and very food loving 😉, Eve and Grace are very welcoming and joyful. We did so many things like cooking for the dogs and the family (especially for Bryan), horse riding with the girls, shopping, exploring a giant maze, cycling… There are a lot of animals in the farm and it is awesome to take care of them. It is an experience we will always remember. You will have so much fun at Catherine’ s. Do not hesitate to book, they are the best family. Élise and Clémence We have already booked some vacations abroad for our girls but vacations at Catherine’s are definitely the best. The whole family is amazing and they will greet your kids warmly. Do not hesitate Julie (the mom)
