About us

We live in a very spacious two storey house set in a beautiful elevated site. We are in the country, yet only 1.5 miles from the centre of the town of Clonmel. We have a large kitchen and two large living rooms, and two bathrooms. Outside we have a large garden which is adjacent to our farm, where we keep livestock. We have greyhounds, some of which we train ourselves and race, though they are very much pets as well (not housepets though). They keep us busy.We are a family of four., with two teenage children 18yrs and 19yrs. We are a very active family and our children are very sporty. Our daughter plays football and our son does rowing and both are fun-loving very sociable kids.We have been hosting international students for approx 8yrs and find it a truly rewarding experience. We treat each student like they are a member of our family. We have three racing greyhounds which we train ourselves so this involves alot of walking and grooming. Because we live on a farm, there are always farm jobs to be done eg feeding nuts to animals / moving them from field to field within the farm / keeping sheds tidy and of course the harvest time July/August is always a lovely time on the farm.
