    Description

    Hello! We are a family of 4, Mark & Róisín and our 2 Children Leo 12, Millie is 10. We live in the beautiful village of Schull in West Cork with our dog Scruffy.
    We live in a small estate 5 mins walk from the main street and 7 minutes walk from the harbour. We love to be outdoors and the beach is our favourite place to be. Sitting around the table for dinner having the chats about our days and life in general, is important to us as a family.
    We have some painting, inside & out, so are looking for some help with that and having the chats while we do it together.
    In the past 15 years we have hosted students from the language school here in Schull, au pairs and Help X volunteers.
    We are happy to take couples and friends
