  • Help

    Help

    We would welcome help with finishing building our timber framed/ stone house, restoring a small flat in our workshop and working in the poly tunnel and garden. Sometimes the help can be physically heavy. An open mind would be great!
    Sometimes we need help with doing longer days, but instead the helper will have long weekends maybe for getting to know other parts of the country.

    What else ...

    We live ca 7 km from the closest town Bantry next to the open sea. Our home is in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. We have had many woofers/ workawayers/ helpers and have great experiences from that.
    The workawayer has access to a bike and can join us mountain walking, kayaking, set dancing and swimming in the sea. We have no other workawayers.
