    Description

    Greetings from West Cork! We are an Irish-Dutch family of four (two 18 and 21 year old boys) and we live in a converted cow house looking out on Garrettstown Beach, a famous surf beach near Kinsale. We have a lovely garden with a vegetable patch, and more ideas than we have time to complete. Would you like to come and offer us a hand for a week or two? Walking distance from the beach and village. Regular bus service to Kinsale and bicycles available. You would be staying in a separate guest house overlooking the ocean. We love cooking and enjoy meals and chats together. You can keep us company, or if you prefer your own space, that's ok too.
