Description
We are a small family farm that strives to be self-sufficient and believes in the principle of reciprocity. We strive to share our experiences and learn from our guests along the way.
So...find yourself in the Irish countryside surrounded by green filds, nature trees a bubbling stream and the deny Ox mountains.
Who we are? We're a family of three living in Sligo in the west of Ireland. Cin from Bolivia and Eoin an Irish gardener with our beloved son 2 years old.
We live a some how "Alternative " life, we grow some of our food, chop some wood for our winter fires and we make and drink cider only for ourselves, kinda Hobbie activity.
We like nature, crafts, good food, good and healthy habits of household and good conversations and trying to find time to enjoy simple things.
If these sound like you come and join us for a while.
Ideally we're looking for a couple to come and live with us, help with the garden,and the young fellow, we would like to have the chance of cultural exchange so we learn and grow about our guest.
You'll have your own cozy room and privacy but the areas are all shared.
We would like to share our time for 5 hours/day and then evenings and weekends are free relax or explore.
We are in a rural setting but close to sligo town with our own transport but also is public bus at the end of the lane, Friends and neighbors around, peaceful but not isolated. -

What else ...
The city center is a 20-minute bus ride away. There's a vibrant cultural scene, with bars, cafes, a bookstore, shops, a theater, and more. We live a fairly quiet, unpretentious lifestyle, but we believe we have the essentials to be happy. We don't own a television and try not to use smartphones, because disconnecting helps us connect more.
El centro está a 20 minutos en bus.
