HA821213 HOST FAMILY FOR ADULTS AND FAMILY GROUPS
"Hi we are a friendly family of five. We enjoy fun activities and cultural days out together to visit places of interest, walks along the beach, picnics, barbecues, going to the movies and shopping.

BOOKINGS CAN ALSO BE TAKEN FOR UPCOMING ACADEMIC YEAR. PLEASE ENQUIRE

Our home is six bedroom dormer bungalow with large back and front gardens. The home we live in is smoke free. We also have 2 small friendly dogs called Brandy and Marvin.
We are approved by our local health service to look after children and we are both police vetted.
I have a qualification in Childcare and Child Protection.
Young people in our home will always have adult supervision.

We enjoy cooking and freshly preparing all our meals daily. Fresh bread, scones and pancakes for breakfast are very popular with all our guests. We can have fun making these together. You can also show us some of your traditional food and we would love to try these as well. Preparing food together is a very enjoyable way to get to know each other and learn English. It's also great fun!

Guests will have access to Wi-Fi so our guests will be able to Skype and talk with their families whenever they wish.

We live on the outskirts of the beautiful picturesque seaside town of Tramore. Tramore - Trá Mhór, - meaning “Big Strand" and has a beautiful 5 km sandy beach.

Tramore is regarded as one of the top surfing and outdoor adventure spots in Ireland with three world class surfing schools located right on the beach. Surfing can be done nearly all year round.
Tramore's Golf Course is well regarded internationally. It's a 27 hole course, considered one of the best in the region and very popular with locals and visitors.
Tramore beach leads to a line of some of the highest sand dunes in Ireland, backed by a salt marsh and is home to some rare seaside plants and interesting wildlife. The sand dunes have been developing for over 5000 years.

For many years visitors have come here to visit our popular seaside and to experience a taste of ice-cream, traditional Fish and Chips, have some fun at the fairground and build some sandcastles in the sand while enjoying the fresh sea air. The beach front features a long promenade and an amusement park where there are attractions inside and out. These are sure to bring a smile to your face!! :)
There are holiday shops and cafe's opposite the beach. They provide cakes and snacks as well a souvenirs of the local area."
