Description
Our garden is an Organic Off grid Family run farm with horses and forestry near the sea. We have a very large Poly tunnel to grow all our own food and supply some to the local community. The Farm is nearly 100acres of unspoilt Organic land with lots of out houses, Orchard and veg garden.
We are also looking for a kind reliable good natured person to care for our 5 year old very active son , if you can drive that’s a bonus as we live in a very rural area , being able to cook is a must, and not mind doing some cleaning .
We work very hard during the summer so for the right person this would be a hosting for the whole summer preferably, a couple would also suit as we would need some help in our Polytunnel and gardens.

The area is an old copper mining area so there are loads of signposted hill walks. Fishing, swimming and sea activities are a must in Allihies. There is also a local village 1km from the house and the local beech is 3km.
