  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of four, with two girls under two and have recently bought a 20 acre property. We live just outside the gorgeous village of Adare. We offer accommodation for up to six people in a private thatched cottage on our property in exchange for help with upkeep on our home, and some light household assistance. If you have an interest in gardening or farming this is an oasis. We also have a charming rescue horse and two outdoor cats. The property includes an orchard, a large pond and a horse arena

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer an authentic rural Irish experience of living in the peaceful countryside, in a safe gated property. We are five minutes from the tourist hub of Adare which is Ireland’s prettiest village and which has excellent transport connections to allow our visitors to explore. We offer accommodation in a thatched cottage which is an incredibly unique experience. As we live just next door to the thatched cottage we are on hand to provide insight into Irish family life and culture.
