Beschreibung
Hard working happily married couple Brendan and Kellie looking for help to manage our truly unique place in Kildare, Ireland. We are both well educated professionals while in our 50's and 60's are young at heart and are full of enthusiasm.
We live in a lovely old house with big gardens. We need help to maintain these gardens. The gardens contain orchard trees, grapes, hops and a poly tunnel.
We have 2 small dogs who need company, attention and playtime. Our workaway guest must really adore animals and especially dogs. They will stay with you as their friend when we cant be home so you must love to be around these two lovely characters and engage with them as real family members.
We have a brewery onsite and produce world class beers as one of our professions is brewing but we have many hobbies and skills that we can pass on.
