AT13255The house and garden of the exchange family is beautiful and has been lovingly restored and designed. The location of the house is ideal for exploring Cork and the surrounding area. From Cork we were able to visit many great beaches and experience Ireland's impressive nature. When we arrived we were greeted by a wealth of information material and ideas about what we could experience from Cork. To see the Cliffs of Moher, we recommend booking a room in the area well in advance. We drove there and back in one day, but there was plenty to see on the way.
For people who like to drink coffee, we can highly recommend the cafe "Once upon a bun".
It was also very helpful to be able to talk to the exchange family at any time and the neighbors were also very friendly. We would travel to Cork again at any time.

CA50382Our family had a great experience with our exchange to Cork. The exchange itself was seamless and our interactions with the family were very positive. We loved the house and it was accurately represented on the site. When we returned, our house was very clean and tidy.
