Language practice
We have a rich culture of music and language here in Donegal which we would love to show people and the scenery is glorious, as a family we are originally from Belfast and would love to show that part too. We have a guitar so if you can play we would love to hear music from your home,
We would like people who can put their hands to any type of work gardening, general maintenance building/labouring work, some help in housework, some help with the animals. We also would like to try new food so if you would like to cook or teach us recipes from your home that would be fantastic
English Irish small amount of French (children)
You would be staying in our small cottage which is three bedrooms, small living room and kitchen and a shower room, but you will eat if you wish with our family in our main home and you will have Internet connection at our main home in the evenings
There is a bus daily to Belfast, Dublin Galway from the village and to the main shopping area in Letterkenny but I do go to Letterkenny once a week so transport isn't a problem to get you around Donegal, we also have a bike that can be used if you wish to go out on your own and explore the area, it's a very friendly village and we would love to show you our home and surrounding areas
