Sobre a vizinhança
Our house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Galway, a lively university town with theatres, cinemas, pubs, restaurants, swimming pools, shops, everything you need! Within walking distance you will find a beach, a leisure centre and sailing club. There are some quiet lanes where you can walk or cycle too. A little further along are Merlin Woods and you can take a bus to the city centre and access everything Galway City has to offer and indeed the Wild Atlantic Way.

At Liam Mellows football club down at the beach, it is possible to book a Gaelic Games Experience. It’s about the GAA and Irish football but I think also includes some cultural items. They include some games and fun – you can sometimes see people playing in plastic bubbles up there. Not sure how it works but here’s a link:

COUNTY GALWAY
· Near Salthill is a village called Barna and here you will find Barna Woods opposite Silver Strand beach and Rusheen Bay Nature Reserve. Also a craft village nearby.
· Wildlands is an indoor and outdoor adventure and activity centre in Moycullen in County Galway - www.wildlands.ie

COUNTY MAYO
· Try ‘footgolf’ – looks like it could be fun for everyone. It’s in a village called Cross- https://darrenoregan93.wixsite.com/crossfootgolf
· The Museum of Country Life in Castlebar, County Mayo is good. https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Museums/Country-Life

The Great Western Greenway starts there too – it’s a 44km off-road cycling path and you can hire bikes at any point all along the path, right over as far as Achill on the Atlantic. Achill itself is also very beautiful with lovely beaches. https://www.greenway.ie/

We passed wonderful holidays in Galway. Nice conversation with Tish and Eugene before and during the stay. We loved your garden and home which was well prepared. Good public transport to the city, peaceful atmosphere with good music :). We recommend
Tish et Eugène ont eu des changements de planning et malgré cela, ils ont maintenu leur engagement d'échange . Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans leur maison très confortable. Et j'espère qu'ils pourront venir à Bourges un peu plus tard.
Hemos estado muy a gusto en la casa de Tish y Eugene. El perfil refleja la casa tal como es, muy bonita, práctica y acogedora (desde el primer día nos hemos sentido como en nuestra propia casa). Hemos estado en contacto durante todo el intercambio con Tish y Eugene, lo que nos ha facilitado la estancia allí en su ciudad, asesorándonos en todo momento de sitios a visitar, así como actividades a realizar con los niños. Nos han ayudado a conocer lugares especiales fuera de las típicas excursiones de turistas, lo que ha enriquecido nuestra estancia. Cuando hemos vuelto a nuestra casa, estaba perfecta. Recomendamos el intercambio con Tish y Eugene porque han sido excelentes anfitriones.

We are semi-retired and like travelling. For our main Summer holiday we like to be somewhere we can walk/hike/cycle, especially near the Coast. We enjoy city breaks all year round, particularly if there are opportunities to go to concerts and the theatre. If we can combine the coast with a city, then we are very happy!
We have family and friends all over the United Kingdom so we are always willing to do weekend exchanges, especially in London, Aberdeen, NW England (Wigan),and Belfast.
While our house and garden are very spacious for 2 people, we are happy to have something smaller for exchanges but a garden or balcony is always welcome.
We have had over 25 happy exchanges in Ireland, UK, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Lanzarote and the Netherlands in very different kinds of houses/apartments in all sorts of locations. We have loved them all.
We are easily pleased except for one thing... We do not have pets and we do not provide pet care, ever!
