    Description

    Hi there,
    We live in West Wicklow so very near the national park and Blessington lakes. Great if you have transport but there are local bus services and we'd be happy to drive you if required. Our two boys are 14 and 16 years old so it's a lively household. Martin likes to cook and the food is great quality while being healthy. If you decide to visit, there is a sunny double en suite bedroom. In exchange for room and board, we'd love some help in the garden and possibly around the house. We both work from home a lot of the time.

    If you are interested, please contact us.
