Description
We are an active family living in East Cork. 3 kids, horses, dogs, cats, chickens. Lovely old Georgian property. Cosy Courtyard Cottage is a great self contained space for our work away guests . Help with the animals, horses are our passion here - we all do a little competing and have an arena and gallop onsite, so some experience with horses would be a bonus. Garden, some painting and general projects around the property. We do host guests in the house but are all set for help with that - just need general help with our own projects - the cottage garden will need to be prepped, we paint all our outdoor gates and furniture each spring, we split all our own logs for the house and there is always something that needs a little attention on this 300 year old estate :-)

Accommodation
Self contained cottage in the courtyard. X2 double ensuite bedrooms upstairs, a cosy snug and separate kitchen living downstairs. Super fast fibre broadband.
Our work away guests will have their own cottage onsite with fully equipped kitchen. So we are happy to fill their cupboards so they can do their own thing or add them into our meals - whichever suits best.
What else ...
This East Cork area has amazing access to the coast - good surfing, coastal walks - very scenic. Fab hiking and mountain walks only 30 mins away. Lovely countryside. We are only 45 minutes from Cork city. Limited local transport but we are happy to make sure you can access local link buses etc and get to see the area
