Welcome to Marina and Mervyn’s home
We are a welcoming family with 5 children: one son and four daughters. Our eldest is a qualified doctor, another is qualified in agricultural science, and three are currently in college studying nursing and pharmacy. The mother is a nurse and midwife, and the father is a farmer. Our home offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We host students aged 16 and over who participate in academic programs during their stay.

Farming experience
We are a warm and welcoming family living on the edge of town, close to all leisure activities and within walking distance of the local secondary school. Our home is situated on a farm near tennis courts and a local horse-riding school, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. We have 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 sitting rooms, ensuring a comfortable and spacious environment for our guests.
The children are active members of our local sports and leisure center and participate in various activities daily.
We provide guidance for trips to Dublin City, helping students visit attractions, historical sites, enjoy shopping, or spend a day by the seaside on the east coast near Dublin. Horse riding is also available at our local riding school. Upon arrival, we will give you a tour of our home, help set up your devices on Wi-Fi, and answer any questions you might have, including about local transport.
We offer practical support such as airport pick-up and drop-off at Dublin Airport and provide a bicycle, helmet, and high-visibility jacket for your personal use. Mornings begin with breakfast as we all prepare for the day ahead. Evenings are spent enjoying meals together, sharing stories about our day.
Weekends are relaxed, giving students aged 16 and over the freedom to meet friends and explore. For those staying with us for the academic year, we organize full enrollment in our local secondary school, ensuring a complete academic program. Additionally, we host up to three students of different nationalities at a time, providing a truly enriching cultural experience.
