Trusted Host Family
Doubly vettedAbout us
"Our family is a lively bunch. Mom Dearbhla nurtures a love of music, teaching singing and piano to her students and sharing her passion for singing as a member of our local choir. The boys' Dad, David, lives just half an hour away. The boys, Daniel (16) and James (13), are talented in their own ways - Daniel enjoys cooking and stays fit with his daily workouts, while James is our soccer star, playing with our local club. We're all huge Liverpool FC fans and never miss a match. We live in a three-bedroom terraced house in a lovely housing estate just outside the town. We're close-knit, often enjoying hikes with extended family in the Cooley Mountains. Family time is precious to us, and we cherish our moments together, whether exploring the outdoors, cooking up a storm, or just chilling out watching TV.
Ashbourne is a lovely town with its own unique charm, offering a great sense of community and a range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, and schools. It's an excellent place to call home, with a strong local identity and a vibrant atmosphere. The town has several football pitches, a golf course, and a tennis club. And the benefits don't stop there - Ashbourne's location provides easy access to Dublin city, and we're only twenty minutes from Dublin Airport. History buffs can explore sites like the Hill of Tara and Newgrange. Ashbourne has something for everyone."
