    Description

    Living in an idyllic part of Cork overlooking the Dripsey river with a very large garden. We have traveled extensively over the years and love to hear from others about their experience's and where they have been.

    Sharing experiences and travels to inspire each other. You will learn about the history and culture of Ireland and how it has become an independent country with a place in Europe and on the world stage.

    Ideally we are looking for a couple help with the garden, some house maintenance, some projects around the house. We built our own sauna and wood store.
    This listing may suit someone or a couple who would like to spend time in the beautiful Lee Valley.
    There is limited public transport. But happy to drive you to the local town Ballincollig to allow you get the more frequent bus to Cork City and beyond.
