À propos de nous

We are an active family who live in a large detached home on the outskirts of a small village in the midlands of Ireland. We like to hike in the neighbouring national park and enjoy days out as a family visiting places of interest. We have brought students to places such as Dublin, Wicklow, Galway, Newgrange, tayto Park (Emerald Park), Powerscourt, Glendalough, cliffs of Mohar etc. As we live in the midlands there are a lot of places in Ireland that can be visied in a day trip. We have hosted many students for immersion stays and have also hosted students for academic stays. There is a small secondary school in our village that can accomodate students wishing to stay for the academic year. There are a number of clubs in the locality such as soccer basketball, badminton, gaelic football and hurling.

Hugo had the chance last year to spend 2 weeks in the Fitzpatrick familly. He has been warmly welcome, so happy about the house, the arounds and most important the familly. he was happy to play and talk with the children and talk a lot to improve his english. That was the aim! It was very nice for him to visit the area, make nice walks, playing and making sport with the children!! Many activities : Tayto Park, Lough Boora Parklands and SUP on the River Shannon. On my mother side it was very important to talk with Fitzpatricks before during and after Hugo's stay in Ireland. I could feel he was in good hands! Solenne

My 15-year-old son Ivan has been with the Fitzpatrick family for 13 days and the experience has been wonderful. The Host mother and her husband and children have welcomed Ivan as one of the family. He has felt very comfortable from day one. They've gone to the movies, played board games and video games, and gone on bike rides. He's been lucky enough to go on mini-breaks with the family to the west of Ireland, bathing in lakes and even in the cool waters of the beach. At the end of his stay he had the opportunity to attend a historic car race and this is greatly appreciated since Ivan is a huge fan of the motor sport. This experience has been very positive for Ivan, he is delighted with everything and has been able to practice and learn the language a little more. thank you so much for taking such good care of my son.

This was my son Tobias first experience abroad, and it was a wonderful one!! He spent three fantastic weeks with Fitpatrick family: he did and enjoyed a lot of activities with them like cycling long a canal, walking in the forest and they visited together a lot of places all around Ireland (from the Moher Cliff to Dublin, Glendalough Wicklow, Powerscourt waterfall, Paulnabrone Dolmen in the Burren…). It was a real immersion experience in Irish life: they went to the cinema; they spend free time all together playing boarding games and videogames. They participated all together to a Guinness World record event too!!! For me it was very nice to have some messages and pictures from the family during Tobias’s stay : nice to be updated about daily life! Tobias was really part of the family, and his English has improved.
