Nos deux filles ont passé une merveilleuse semaine en Irlande, l’équipe est vraiment très sympa et le séjour a bien répondu à nos attentes, tant sur le plan sportif (équitation) que sur le plan des apprentissages en anglais. Les logements et encadrants sont très sympathiques. Un grand plus : les parents sont parfaitement guidés (et rassurés !!) dans les préparatifs par la gentille Bronagh, véritable maman poule pour nous et nos enfants. Nos filles sont revenues grandies et heureuses de ce superbe séjour en Irlande ! Merci 🤩🙏👍

My daughter had an absolutely wonderful experience at Airlinguee. The horses are exceptionally well cared for and in excellent condition, which was very important to us. The riding instructors are truly outstanding. They carefully assessed her riding level and moved her to the group that suited her abilities best. This individual attention helped her build confidence, improve her skills, and make real progress during the two weeks. We also felt that the children were very well supervised and genuinely cared for at all times. The whole team was kind, professional, and attentive, creating a safe and welcoming environment. Taïssia also improved her English, made wonderful new friends, enjoyed the surfing activities, and came home with so many happy memories. These were two unforgettable weeks, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone at Airlinguee for making them so special. We would highly recommend this camp and will definitely be back in the future!

Wir können Airlinguee uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Unsere 17-jährige Tochter hat 2 Wochen in Irland verbracht und dort Englischunterricht mit Reiten kombiniert. Die gesamte Reise war von Anfang bis Ende hervorragend organisiert und hat unsere Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht übertroffen. Da es ihre erste Reise alleine ins Ausland war, hatten wir als Eltern anfangs natürlich ein wenig Sorge. Diese war jedoch völlig unbegründet. Vom ersten Kontakt an wurden wir freundlich, kompetent und jederzeit hilfsbereit betreut. Die Kommunikation war ausgezeichnet und wir fühlten uns während der gesamten Zeit bestens informiert. Unsere Tochter hat ihren Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genossen. Sie war begeistert von den Reitstunden, den großartigen Pferden, den engagierten Trainern und der herzlichen Atmosphäre. Sie hat viele neue internationale Freundschaften schließen und wertvolle Erfahrungen für ihre persönliche Entwicklung sammeln können. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns, mit wie viel Herzlichkeit, Fürsorge und Professionalität das gesamte Team arbeitet. Man spürt, dass das Wohl der Jugendlichen jederzeit im Mittelpunkt steht. Unsere Tochter kam überglücklich nach Hause und spricht immer von dieser unvergesslichen Zeit. Für uns steht fest: Diese Reise war eine der besten Entscheidungen, die wir für sie treffen konnten. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Bronagh und das gesamte Airlinguee-Team für dieses außergewöhnliche Erlebnis. Wir empfehlen Airlinguee von ganzem Herzen weiter und würden unsere Tochter jederzeit wieder an diesem Programm teilnehmen lassen.

Sólo tenemos palabras de agradecimiento. Un trato excelente por parte de Bronagh, que nos ha cuidado de manera minuciosa y con mucho cariño. Muy profesional y muy preocupada y ocupándose de todo. Nuestra hija ha estado dos semanas en Oakwood Stables. La experiencia ha sido excelente, inmejorable. Gracias a Amanda y Gary. Gracias y gracias. No solo ha aprendido equitación, también inglés, pero lo más importante, ha sido una experiencia vital increíble. Profesionalidad, seriedad, pero también empatía y cariño. Gracias Airlinguee. Gracias Bronagh. Actualización (julio de 2026): Un año después, sigo pensando exactamente lo mismo de Airlingüee y quería volver a agradecer especialmente a Bronagh todo su trabajo, apoyo, comprensión y dedicación. Ha estado pendiente de nosotros como padres en todo momento, resolviendo cualquier duda y haciéndonos sentir tranquilos, pero, sobre todo, ha cuidado de nuestra hija con una dedicación absoluta, asegurándose de que estuviera cómoda, feliz y perfectamente adaptada desde el primer día. Su experiencia se nota en cada decisión. Sabe recomendar el curso más adecuado para cada estudiante y gestionar todo el proceso de forma impecable, con una cercanía y una profesionalidad extraordinarias. Gracias de nuevo, Bronagh, por hacer que esta experiencia haya sido tan positiva para toda la familia. Seguimos recomendando Airlingüee al 100 % a cualquier familia que esté pensando en enviar a sus hijos a aprender equitación e inglés en Irlanda.
