Nous avons envoyé nos deux filles de 16 et 13 ans chez Lisa et Barry, une famille qui a été très accueillante, sympathique et qui a su nous proposer diverses activités pour occuper les filles durant leur séjour. Gorey est une petite ville ou tout est accessible à pied très facilement. Pour y arriver il est préférable de s’organiser en achetant les tickets sur le site Wexford Bus et en regardant le plan de l’aéroport de Dublin. Les filles sont revenues contente de leur séjour.

Perrine est restée 10 jours et a trouvé la famille très gentille. Lisa étant italienne, elle a très bien mangé ;-) ! Elle avait sa propre chambre indépendante ce qui est un plus. En parallèle Lisa nous a donné une adresse pour qu’elle puisse prendre des cours et faire des activités avec d’autres jeunes étrangers ! Je recommande !

Toute la famille est super sympathique et particulièrement impliquée. Le séjour a été parfait et l'accueil très chaleureux . Pénélope est revenue enchantée de la semaine passée avec eux et ravie d'avoir pu côtoyer d'autres jeunes dans leur environnement scolaire. Je recommande sans hésitation.

Très bon séjour, famille accueillante et investie. Le trajet entre l'aéroport et la maison seule à été un peu compliqué.
