Description
The House is a special place with a beautiful walled garden.
We are family run farm and walled garden as well as catering for different events. We are located 10 min from Derry and 20min from Letterkenny.
We are looking for fun loving and hardworking guests. Guests will become part of the family, having lunch and dinner with us if you wish. There is a bedroom in the house with shared bathroom and living space where you can relax after a days work.
The House and Gardens is an old historic house in Donegal. We have always been a family farm with an award winning walled garden, and now expanding into the event industry. With such a variety of things to do here, there is always something happening. A lot of the tasks are physically demanding. From building walls to helping out in the house or the garden. Volunteers are not expected to over exert themselves but like anything the more you put in the more you get out of it.
