  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live 3km from the nearest bus station or town and you would either have to cycle or walk to get about if you don't have a car. Public transport is very limited with daily bus connections to Galway or Westport (you have to check bus times). We are in a very quiet rural location. A love of the outdoors will mean you get the most from our location which is on the coast. This place is not for people who need the excitement of an urban environment.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You would be free to use one of our bikes. We live 3 km from the nearest small town and a bus service to the nearest city which is 75km away. You need to be happy to be in a quiet rural location and be able to occupy yourself when not completing the tasks that are set.
