We are a family of five and have been enjoying holidays with home exchange for over 15 years. We love getting a real flavour of the countries we visit and living like a local! Whether we are in cities, seaside or rural locations we embrace the adventure of it and enjoy making happy memories where ever we may be. We are careful to ensure we look after your home and ask you do the same with ours.

We all felt at home from the moment we arrived to the moment we left and the children thought they'd gone to toy and book heaven! You left such a helpful information pack for us, which really helped us decide on our days out. The location of your home was brilliant ... so peaceful, yet close enough to Galway to enjoy all it had to offer and also within easy reach of the beautiful, varied scenery in Connemara National Park. This was our first visit to Ireland and we had such a lovely time, it won't be our last! All the best to you all from Horsham, Claire, Graham, Ella & Jack x

We live on a quite lane with beautiful expansive views and our home is just a 5 minute walk to the ocean and on Irelands Wild Atlantic Way.
The house is just 1.5km from our local village of Clarinbridge where you'll find grocery shop, pubs, cafes, restaurants, antique shop, home shop, pharmacy, healthfood shop, boutique, garden centre, gorgeous woodland and riverside walks, playground etc. Clarinbridge is home to the famous Oyster Festival, a sea side village within an hours drive of Connemara and on the doorstep of the amazing Burren landscape and Co. Clare. The town of Oranmore is 8mins drive and here you will find Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Cinema, sailing and of course more oubs and restaurants!
If you're feeling brave you can have a refreshing swim or just watch the local fishermen and oyster catchers out in the bay. This is really a place to relax, unwind and feel at home.
Irelands cultural heart Galway City is just 20 minutes drive away, with its cobbled streets, traditional music and superb nightlife and restaurants. There's plenty on offer... hiking, golf, fishing, sailing, heritage sites, museum, galleries, theatres, aquarium, swimming and playgrounds ( our nearest playground is just a 5 min drive and is in a beautiful wooded parkland).

We live on the Wild Atlantic Way and within easy driving distance from our home you have an incredible choice of places to visit... The Burren National Park is just 20 mins south west and has fantastic hiking with ruins older than the pyramids and is amazing for hillwalks and sea sports. Also in the Burren are the Cliffs of Moher and the Ailwee Caves, Bunratty Castle and Folk Park are 45mins away. There's a surf school in Lahinch if you feel like catching some Atlantic waves!
The Galway International Arts Festival is on every July and is always wonderful with plenty of art, music, theatre. dance and street theatre. There are lots of free family events too. Have a look at the website for this years line up:

Connemara is also within easy driving distance to the North and no visit to Galway would be complete without taking in that breathtaking landscape. The Aran Islands are accessible by boat from Galway city or from Doolin just south of us in Co. Clare.
