We are experienced exchangers, having first exchanged in 1995. Our children have grown up and flown the nest. However they come back to us regularily with our 13 grandchildren (12 under the age of 10). Hence why our home is child friendly!! We are both now approaching retirement and look forward to many exchanges over the next few years. As we are both foodies, we love to learn about cuisines from around the world.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our house is just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Dunboyne Village centre which has 4 pubs, 6 restaurants, supermarket, butchers, pharmacies and other small shops. Dunboyne is regarded as one of the best sporting villages in the regions with local football club, athletics track and the nearby Fairyhouse Racecourse which is the home of the Irish Grand National.
Historical attractions include Newgrange a Stone Age (Neolithic) monument in the Boyne Valley and is older than Stonehenge. The Hill of Tara is the jewel in the crown of the Boyne Valley landscape. A site that has been in use for more than 5000 years as a place of burial and assembly, it grew to fame as the legendary inauguration site of the ancient High Kings of Ireland. From its rolling slopes one can see all the way to the other great sites of the Boyne Valley, including Loughcrew Cairns, the Hill of Slane, Trim Castle and beyond. In later centuries it remained the focus of Gaelic identity and remains to this day the beating heart of Ireland.
