Description
Hi! We are Laura (27, Italian), Rory (31, Irish) and our dog Xochitl (4, Mexican). We live in a cottage in the Irish countryside and where we run a food business of fermented vegetables! We are pretty busy during the day and we are looking for someone to keep company to Xochitl, help with general house maintenance and take care our garden (planting, watering, harvesting). Any DIY project are more than welcome!

Staying with us you’ll be able to discover Irish countryside. Being very close to the boarder with Northern Ireland this land has a lot to tell. Rory's grandfather runs a former British workhouse and he is always happy to show around.
For beautiful hikes the Mourne National park is 40 min driving and 25 min for the Ring of Gullion.
Dublin and Belfast are only an hour away.
We will try our best to accommodate you with lifts but please keep in mind that there is no public transport available so you will need your own car or be happy to live isolated!
