Meet your host family: Hannah in Ireland

Welcome to our house, Hannah, Andy and 3 teenage daughters.

We are a family of five, parents Hannah and Andy and three daughters, Laila, Tessa, and Sasha.
We live on a Christmas tree and sheep farm an hour from Dublin in a very pretty little village called Grangecon that has an incredible award-winning cafe.
We love being outside and have two dogs and three ponies/horses that we ride and compete on. We have a lake on the farm where we love swimming on hot days and also a tennis court. We are always up to something, exploring, being social, and living life! We have lived abroad with our children and love traveling and meeting people from other countries.

We have had quite a few foreign students stay with us via friends abroad, and they all seem to have enjoyed it!

Hannah works part-time locally, and Andy works from home; during the school holidays, the girls are about too.
Our days are varied but tend to involve the mornings on the farm hanging out with cousins or riding horses or going to the cafe, followed by lunch, and then we either swim or head off somewhere or meet up with friends.
Weekends involve horse events or surfing, or a trip to Dublin or a local tourist attraction such as Glendalough or Russborough House.
Evenings can involve activities or family dinners or movies. Every day is different!

Your Irish immersion experience :
A typical day with us

We are an active family who loves to be outside doing things and are extremely social.
We live in a very sweet safe village where the kids can bike around and visit the local cafe.

We love to ride horses and compete on them, hike, play tennis (there is a court on the farm), swim in the lake on the farm, go surfing (the beach is an hour away), and camping (when the weather allows!), go shopping, go to the cinema, my girls meet friends in the local cafe to hang out some mornings, we host lots of BBQs with friends coming over.

We are not a family that sits around; we love an adventure and to be moving and doing things, but that said we do love hanging out at home and cooking a big dinner and playing board games.
We also love cooking and baking and have big family dinners regularly.

The girls' cousins and grandparents also live on the farm, so there are always lots of people in our house.
There are also always jobs that need doing, such as painting fences, helping on the farm, etc., that need doing, which we pay our kids to do!!!

Paid options organized by the family

I can collect from the airport should anyone want me to, or otherwise, to avoid traffic, there is local transport to Naas, Carlow, Castledermot, etc. Happy to help navigate it all with you once flights are booked.

There are lots of activities and camps locally that can be booked which I can sort out but they do need to be booked early before they fill up. They vary in price. I have not included any activities in the price for staying with us so students should bring pocket money to pay for them or if they choose to do a camp, parents can pay the camp providers directly.

Local riding lessons are about 30 euro for an hour. Other week-long camps are more expensive.

For those who just want a chance to experience horse riding, they are welcome to sit up and ride around on our ponies. There are lots of fun things to do on the farm such as swimming, tennis, and bike riding that are all free!
