Family and garden life on the coast in beautiful Connemara, Ireland

Details

  Description

  Hello there! We are a young family (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog and some chickens) living just outside Cleggan, Co.Galway , a beautiful and remote part of Ireland's West Coast.

  DIY and building projects

  Animal Care

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live right on the beach in beautiful, north Connemara so we are surrounded on all sides by the ocean, the islands and amazing mountain ranges. It's absolutely perfect for anyone who loves being outdoors, in nature and especially for anyone who likes to be on the water or hill walking/hiking.
  
  My partner and I are both chefs so food, cooking, fishing, vegetable growing and so on are at the centre of everting we do. This would be an ideal place for anyone interested in the culinary side of things and especially for someone who is keen to learn more about kitchen gardening.
  
  Finally, Cleggan (5 mins) and Clifden (15 mins) are two fantastic villages near by that are both buzzing with culture, music, an amazing new film society and thriving communities.

  Help

  Specifically, we are looking for help with some outdoor projects including building a new chicken coop, building a new green house (which was damaged in a storm earlier this year) and creating a large wildflower meadow.
  
  We're looking for an energetic, independent and dynamic person (or people) who wants to join in the fun of our life on the beach and be an active participant in everything we do. Absolutely, we love our chill time as much as the next, but we always enjoy it so much more after a great days work and activity, whether it's gardening/DIY or getting out into nature.
  
  This would also be an excellent stay for a young couple, travelling together.

  Accommodation

  Workaways would have their own private bedroom (double bed) and a shared bathroom.
  Mealtimes and food are very much communal activities so be ready to help out with cooking, cleaning up and eventing in between.

  What else ...

  So long as you have a valid EU driver's license you will be insured on our car and will have the full use of it during your time off. Wesport (1hr) and Galway (1hr 15mins) are not far away and between them and the rest of Connemara there is a huge amount to do in the surrounding area. But don't stop there!
