We are a family of five living along the wild Atlantic way near Clarinbridge, Galway, West of Ireland. We enjoy travelling to new places, tasting local food, experiencing new cultures and the outdoors. Our children are very respectful to other peoples houses and toys. We are also open to swaps in Ireland during school breaks. On occasion, grandparents may join us for part of our exchange.

Aisling had a lovely welcome for us and a nice welcome basket. They provided an extensive information booklet and were always happy to answer any questions we had. We were surrounded by the countryside, with a short drive to the towns of Clarinbridge and Oranmore, Oranmore is a lovely seaside town with a range of restaurants and pubs catering to locals and tourists alike. Great base to visit the West and the Wild Atlantic Way. We would highly recommend.

The location of the house is perfect, within an hour drive from many of the best spots on the west coast. We were lucky to get a sunny day in our visit to Moher Cliffs and Aran Islands. We also enjoyed Galway and some restaurants in Oranmore. A great family trip! Muchas gracias familia Broderick

The house was very comfortable, cosy and easy to live in. Lots of good suggestions for things to see and do, which we were able to take advantage of. And easy access to all the natural beauty of Galway and Clare, whatever the weather threw at us. Thank you a very successful exchange.

The home was clean and comfortable and the garden provided lots of entertainment for the kids with a trampoline, goal and archery set. We also loved petting the horses every morning in the neighbouring field. The location of this home is great with so many things to do close by. We had some wonderful days at Lahinch and Salthill beach where we took part in a family surf lesson and jumped off the high diving tower at Blackrock.We also visited Cliffs of Moher, Doolin caves, wildlands (where we did the high ropes and orienteering) and an aqua park at Kilrush. We had a fantastic week and many happy memories were made. Thanks so much to the Broderick family for the use of their lovely home.

We ate at Moran's on the Weir and Paddy Burke's, both nearby and had some lovely walks around Clarinbridge. All communications with Aisling and David were very easy and helpful.

It was tidy, welcoming & had lots of toys for the children to play with. There is also a beautiful secure garden which we enjoyed in the evenings. This house is also a fantastic base to visit the west of Ireland; we went to the Aran Islands, nearby Oranmore, Galway city and the Burren during our stay. Aisling also left a very guide advising on local attractions which was very helpful. This was also our first house swap, and Aisling’s help was fantastic.

Renville park (short drive), from here you can see Galway Bay and rocky coastline; the stately ruins of Ardfry Castle (built in 1770), the grey-blue hills of the Burren and Black Head to the south-west, and on a very clear day, the mountains of Connemara to the north-west. Coole park in Gort.

Visit connemara easily and the beautiful landscape, go hiking.
The Burren is located in northwest County Clare, on Ireland’s western coastline. In geological terms, the Burren is a superb example of a glaciokarst landscape. The region is underlain by limestone, a soluble rock, which has dissolved to form an array of unusual surface and underground karst landforms that have been modified by the effects of glaciation
In Galway city, you can’t walk a few feet without passing a busker or a trad pub. In the annual Reader's Choice Awards, Galway placed at #7 on the list of The Best Small Cities in the World 2022.
