Hello and welcome to my page.
We live in the centre of the historic town of Templemore in the heart of Tipperary.
We welcome all age groups and have activities to suit everyone. I have been hosting different nationalities for many years. I have done short stays and academic year students.
We are Police vetted and provide a safe environment for your child.
Our guests are very much a part of our family while with us and we treat them as our own.
My children love having international guests and really enjoy the company and making new friends. The atmosphere in the house is great fun and there's lots of mischief happening.
My children attended lots of different activities. Fiadh loves gymnastics, hip hop dancing, swimming and theater school she's always singing and dancing and everyone has to do Just Dance in the kitchen.
Noah loves swimming, soccer, hiking, cycling, board games and his Nintendo switch. There's fierce competition with Mario kart and everyone gets involved. We all love a game of 31 cards too.
We have lots of activities and day trips to offer and you will leave with fond memories of your trip to Tipp.
3 private bedrooms with a shared bathroom.
Double Room, twin room and single room
Smart TV in all rooms with towels supplied.
WIFI throughout the house so you'll always be in contact.
We can take families, groups, siblings' and friends together.
I can organise volunteering in Schools, Shops and Hotels.
We have the beautiful Town Park behind our house where you can spend hours walking through the woodland walkways or relax beside the lake watching our ducks and swans. Go cycling in our park, play tennis or basketball, hurling & football or play pitch & putt or play golf. If it's raining we like to watch movies, play cards or board games. I have lots of tennis rackets, basketballs and hurleys to use during your stay. There's lots of activities and clubs in Templemore to join. If you're into running or hiking we have lovely trails nearby and an athletic club too. In the summer months we like to pack up the car and go hiking or go to the lake swimming.
I can offer lots of day trips or adventure park outings. These are paid activities and I can give you more details if interested.

Je suis resté avec Catherine et s famille ces dernières semaines car je voulais améliorer mon anglais. Elle m'attendait à l'aéroport et s'est très bien occupé de moi. Depuis que je suis ici, nous avons fait des excursions d'une journée pour explorer la belle campagne et j'ai appris aussi à jouer au golf, au tennis et fait du kickboxing.
The house was in a very quiet small town of Templemore. The room in which I lived was very warm. It is a very welcoming and smiling family with two very nice children too. During this stay I was able to discover the different cultures, city and language of this country. We were able to have a pleasant time with the family such as admiring the Halloween parades in the cities of Galway and Limerick. We were able to create a link with the children as in the morning we took them to school, so we did fun activities. We were able to visit different monuments in the cities near Templemore: the castle "Rock of castel", a park "Cahir park", the forest of Templemore where we can walk, the sea in Galway so I was also able to take a 2-hour horse ride in Rusheenmore. I also participated in the Halloween walk in the evening in the forest next to the house with the children. It was full of unforgettable moments and where I enjoyed it. Thank you very much to this family. Signed Olivia
