‘I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have this to occupy me,’ says Rita Osborne who took her first job in a hotel aged 14

While there, she attended domestic science classes in Banbridge once a week. Her teacher had a hotel and when she turned 14, she was offered a job there.That career has been long and varied. She travelled a lot, worked for a company that is believed to have set up the first English pub in Spain, and, afterwards, she went to the Far East and worked for the Sultan of Brunei in Borneo.

She bought her first hospitality business in north Wales, later opening a hotel in Wexford. But Ms Osborne missed the warmth and the weather that other countries had offered her. Originally, the family used the premises as a holiday home. Then, they employed a Dutch builder to see how they could turn it into a business. And so, The Bird’s Nest was born. A two-story building, it has three bedrooms, a restaurant downstairs, and swimming pool.The normal retirement age is around 65 years, but Ms Osborne said she “wouldn’t still be here if I didn’t have this to occupy me”.
