The Donohue Family
CountrysideLaois, Ireland
Trusted Host Family
Doubly vettedAbout us
Welcome!
Hi there! We’re a friendly family of four—myself, Ciaran, and our two daughters, Rachel (15) and Hannah (12). We also have a lovable dog named Bob, who’s a big part of our home!
We live in a modern, newly built home just 3 km from Portarlington, a lively town with plenty of amenities. Our location is great for exploring Ireland—Dublin is only an hour away by can but 35-55 mins by train and you can reach Cork, Limerick, or Galway in about two hours.
We have two comfortable spare rooms available for students, and we love welcoming new people into our home. Both Ciaran and I work, while the girls are busy with school during the week. As a family, we enjoy the outdoors—whether it’s hiking, camping, skiing, or simply going for walks on the weekends.
We look forward to meeting you and making your stay enjoyable!
