    We are an older couple originally from England and now living in the west of Ireland with our lurcher. The small town where we live is quiet and close to our local forest, lake, with swimming area, and the river Shannon. The town has several pubs, cafes and small shops. Our daughter lives close by with her children.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    As we are in our 70's we would prefer somebody who is middle-aged or older.
    There are walks in the Portumna forest and around the lake (Lough Derg), also a castle and castle gardens, all in walking distance.
    Public transportation is rather meagre here, unfortunately.
