Description
Living in an idyllic part of Cork overlooking the Dripsey river with a large garden and a senior dog. 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 to mind our Corgi. Help with the garden, house maintenance, some projects around the house. We built our own sauna and wood store and our 16yr old Corgi always loves to be rubbed and loves her routine. You both will need to love dogs and are happy to care for her when we are out.
This listing may suit someone or a couple who would like to spend time in the beautiful Lee Valley.
There is limited public transport.
