  Description

  We are Didi and Simon. We live in West Cork, in the Southwest of Ireland. We live in a small house south of Skibbereen by a beautiful beach called Tragumna. We have a very cute cabin surrounded by trees, with bathroom, and little kitchenette. We are looking for some motivated, sustainability-focused people to come help us with our garden. Our place is walking distance to a beach with sauna on weekends, and kayaking outings on Wednesdays, and a pub. It is also cycling distance to Skibbereen (10km) with shops and a farmer's market every Saturday. We are also very near some of the most beautiful walks and spots in West Cork (Lough Hyne, Tow Head, etc), so it is a very good base to discover the region.
