The experience with our host family was amazing. 'The Shine Family' were always caring, asking if everything was fine and trying to make us feel comfortable. We had a great time and a perfect stay with them. Regards from Rosa and me

I stayed at The Shine Family ‘s house in Athlone and had a truly wonderful experience. The house was spotless, very clean and perfectly organised. The food was absolutely delicious, every meal was a treat! 'The Host Mum' and her husband were fantastic hosts: warm, kind and incredibly easy-going. They made us feel completely at home from the very first moment. We had a lovely week and truly appreciated their hospitality. I would highly recommend staying with them to any future students or teachers. Thank you for everything.

The Shine Family are excellent hosts. They are polite, fun and very nice. Their home is very clean and the food is delicious. I recommend them without a doubt.

Firstly when we landed in Ireland, we did some activities across the country, then in the afternoon, our Irish family picked us up and we presented ourselves, and told us everything we needed to know about the house. The bedrooms were pretty comfy and the beds were very big. Everything was ok. The family was kind to us and listened to any doubt we had. We food was different and we had a good time in this country.
