    Description

    We live on a dairy farm near Kanturk in the peaceful region of North Cork.
    We have a lovely garden which needs some care and we are working on maintaining some old buildings at the moment. We have a beautiful Labrador dog called Hunter and five adult children who visit at the weekend with the grandchildren.

    The area is tranquil and beautiful. We are five km from Kanturk which is a nice town with good connections. We can drop you to the train station at weekends if you wish to visit Killarney or Cork.

    We are both friendly and love conversation so this is a good opportunity to learn about Irish culture while improving your English.
