A 3 bedroom family home and garden conveniently located in Cork City, recently voted the 3rd friendliest city in the world by Condé Nast Travel readers survey!
We live in a three bed room house in a quiet residential area within walking distance to city centre, train station, bus station and local amenities. It's only a 15 minute drive from Cork International Airport. Our home comprises of 3 double bed rooms, one of which is currently used as an office and gaming room. An inflatable double bed is available should it be required. Our eldest’s single room is a mid sleeper and therefore more suitable for a child of 5 years or older. We have bunk beds and a single bed in the boys room. As a family we tend to spend most our time in the kitchen/diner area which opens out onto our garden and patio where we eat during the Summer months. Our family bathroom is upstairs and an additional shower room is located off the utility room and downstairs bedroom/playroom.
Our garden and patio is south facing and benefits from the sun in the Summer and we have built a traditional wood burning sauna which we hope you enjoy as much we do.

About Our Family
We are a family of 5, Sinead (50), Philip (55) Oliver (16) Ruaidhrí (13) and Senan (11). This will be our 16th exchange and we are very excited to discover new countries, make new friends and share our home with families who are interested in spending some time discovering Ireland.
Lifestyle
As a family we love to travel and the excitement of exploring new places. The kids love swimming and sport in general, football, soccer and hurling being their favourites. Reading music and gaming is another love of theirs. Sinéad enjoys running, cycling and swimming while Phil prefers soccer and is a keen music fan, particularly live music. We enjoy good food and usually try to learn about the local gastronomy, farmer’s markets and nice local restaurants.
