Doubly vettedAbout us
We are a family of three, our son is 14 years old, currently in 2nd year of Gortnor Abbey in Crossmolina. We have two labrador dogs, they are super friendly and gentle, brought up trained and well behaved, they are part of our family.
We are an active family, our son like football, basketball and anything that involves a ball :-) I enjoy cross training, cycling, jogging. We like our walks in the countryside or by the beach.
Us, parents work from home full time, schedule is quite flexible, we can attend to any needs of our guest at any time, taking them to school or other activities.
Our house was built a couple years ago, it is situated in the quite countryside 10 minutes drive away from Ballina and Crossmolina. It has 4 bedrooms, kitchen/diner, living room, 'snug' room for curling up on the sofa watching TV or read a book. Our house is an L shape, has underfloor heating throughout the house and also airfilter system to ensure clean fresh air. The quite part is where the bedrooms and bathrooms are and the active part is where we have kitchen/diner, living room. This allows us to have activity going on in one part of the house and the other part can still just be a quite relaxing part with no noise.We can offer a double bedroom with separate bathroom.
We have a large garden, plenty of room to play outside football or any sport. We also have a large garage with a well equipped gym; air rower, free weights, pull up rack, bench press, etc.
We would be delighted to host students at our home and look forward to sharing family life with them.
