Irish Family
Holidays with the McElhill family in Ardmourne House: Joe and
Helena will look after you - round the clock.
Joe will make sure that you feed and groom your horse every
morning. After Helena's super Irish Breakfast we start the
English Lessons in our classroom.
We are a small Family run establishment which combines
English Language Courses with Horse Riding. The accommodation
consists of Guest House with the language classroom to
the rear of the building - stable yard and equestrian shop
are adjacent.
If you look to our Photo Gallery or check out Ardmourne
House & Stables
on the internet you will find pictures of the house and
stables
and the
surrounding area.
English Language Courses are
run on a Monday to Friday basis and are conducted in the
morning from 9am – 12.30pm.
On day 1 students are assessed and Courses are offered
at the pupils level. (It is advisable to clarify the level
of English reached in school/now, at time of booking).
Classes are
kept small, (6max), in order to give each student the maximum
benefit of the English Course.
Our teacher holds a BA Honours
Degree in International Business Communication (Languages,
Business Studies and Computers) with a Post Grad. Diploma
in T.E.F.L. with many years experience and offers a wide
range of English Tuition.
For example, standard English,
business English, and preparation for Cambridge Level 1 & 2
examination.
Afternoons are taken up with horse riding.
There are 2
riding arenas adjacent to the Stables, outdoor and indoor,
this is where you get to know your horse before going out
on the trails.
All our trails are guided. You and the instructor
/ stable hand will find a horse to suit you and he is yours
for the entire holiday. We have many different trails and
even a pub trail, for those over the age of 18.
Saturday,
we ride at the Atlantic Ocean on miles of sandy beach -
an experience not to be missed, and on Sunday, we ride
a 2 hour forest trail and then guests are taken to local
towns to shop or sightsee.
This
Programme is also suited to adults.
Bookings can be either for one or two weeks.
