Hi, we are Denise and Chris, I am from UK and Chris is Irish.
We live in a very old, VERY small farmhouse, which is under constant renovation, so we have some unplastered walls, dust and things that are not in the right places yet!
We have a small farm, with beef cows, a pig ,some chickens and ducks, as well as a dog and lots of cats.
I am looking for someone who is willing and motivated to help me with the household duties, as well as helping to try and get the small garden in order, I have had several surgeries and cannot do what i used to do. There are weeds to be removed in the garden, as well as preparing vegetable beds, planting and harvesting as seasons require. and inside you would be helping me to organize, sort and to clean and maybe paint walls, help prepare meals , empty dishwasher and bring in firewood etc. There are other activities carried out on the farm as well, logging, fencing and helping with animals.
We live 3 miles from the nearest village, which is called GOLEEN and are only 1 mile from a beautiful safe sandy beach .
We are easy going and quite laid back , and after a busy day, we like quiet evenings at home, with a roaring fire, and a dog or cat to cuddle .
Someone with good English would be preferred , but is not essential, and a love of animals would also be useful. As would a good sense of humour!
We will happily include you in visits to local markets, nearby towns, and visits to friends , as well as take you to see the sights when time, transport and weather allows.
I love cooking and try to do everything from scratch, and enjoy using fresh vegetables and fruit, most diets can be catered for..... Just let me know BEFORE you arrive please!!
Your accommodation is in the main house with us, the room is small but there are two single beds, and some storage. We share the shower room. You may be sharing the bedroom with another volunteer, but it would be same sex as yourself. Please let me know if you DO NOT wish to share.
Our internet is via Starlink so internet is good but the mobile phone signal is not always good.
. If you think you can help me, and are happy to work in the garden and live as part of the 'family' for your stay, ...then why not drop me a line .You are guaranteed to get dirty, wet, and tired and maybe all three in the same day, but the rewards in seeing jobs done, I think ,makes it all worth while.
Thanks for reading this. I look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you to our little piece of West Cork.
Boots, coats and gloves can be provided in most cases , we have a few spare items of clothing....in case you are travelling light!!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sadly we are NOT suitable for those with dust or cat allergies............Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

The village is 3 miles away, and there is a limited bus service, as we are VERY rural. But we do have some nice walks, a beautiful local beach, and you will be given plenty of time to enjoy the views and fresh air.

But there was a serious communication issue when it came to working for Denise. I need instructions and some time to adjust. Denise expected me to come into the house and know exactly what to do, when to do it and how to do it.
When I couldn't deliver exactly that, she was dissapointed… read more

Denise is a great cook, and was very welcoming.
Chris has a really funny sense of humor, and is great for a laugh.
I'm just sorry that I wasn't in good enough shape to be of more help at the time.
I stayed with Denise and Chris for a little bit more than 2 weeks and it was amazing !
The food is just amazing and the work is exactly as described, the animals are amazing too. I have no words for the views you can get if you go on a walk ! I have enjoyed my stay and I hope that Jerry found his legs again :joy:… read more
