Details
Description
We are a couple in our 50's and we live in beautiful West Cork. We are looking for some help in tidying up the garden, building small stone walls, and general assistance outside. We offer a riverbank location, self contained accommodation, and the use of our kayaks on the river Bandon. We also have bicycles that you would be welcome to use.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are very happy to help with language skills, and train in basic gardening, stone wall building and beekeeping.
Help
We are looking for people who are happy to work outside with us. Our hope is that you have some experience, but it isn't a necessity as we are happy to guide you. We need general garden help (cleaning up areas/weeding etc), and we are hoping to build and repair some garden walls with the local stone. We keep bees, and if you were interested we could show you how to care for them and you could help with that as well.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: Intermediate
Spanish: Beginner
Accommodation
Self contained accommodation with own kitchen and private bathroom. We will stock your kitchen cupboards and fridge (after discussion of your likes/dislikes), and you could also use our barbeque on the days that the sun shines. We would plan to eat together for lunch and in the evenings on your workdays. For your days off, you would be self sufficient (but of course, we will provide the groceries etc that you would need).
What else ...
West Cork is a beautiful rural area, and we would be happy to provide local information and if you don't have your own transport, we could get you to the appropriate local transport services.

We had a great time during our stay and that was a result of their kind hospitality.
The work in their beautiful garden is pure pleasure and they provide all the equipment you’ll need. On top of that, the accommodation is probably the best you’ll find in Ireland.
