    Description

    Hi
    We are a family of five. We live in a big georgian/farm house just outside Kilkenny city(7km) in Ireland on a farm. My name is Sharon and I'm a teacher and my husbands name is Paddy and he is a beef and sheep farmer. We have three children aged 3, 1 and 3 months. We are a very happy, relaxed and easy going family.

    You will have free bed and board. Your accommodation has its own private entrance to the house and is located at the other end of the house away from where we sleep. We can also insure you in one of our cars if you have a full driver's licence. If you are interested we are looking for the right person to come and stay with us for a minimum of 2 months as anything shorter is too difficult for our kids.
