Description
We're a friendly family of seven—grandparents, parents, two teenagers, and a lively nine-year-old—living in a charming, old country house, it is very original, so no central heating in the bedroom, but we have wood stoves in the shared living areas. Within our big yard is a cozy, smaller house, surrounded by a beautiful, walled organic garden, an apple orchard, a polytunnel, a greenhouse, and some cheerful hens. We also share our home with two ponies and a gorgeous Labrador dog!
Although we're nestled among mature trees, fields, and open countryside, our house is just beside a town with shops, pharmacies, a library, and easy bus connections( every hour). You really get the best of both worlds: nature and convenience. We are also linked to the Rathkeale -Listowel greenway, perfect for cycling or hiking.
We're looking for help with the garden and grounds, housework, maintenance, tying sheds, and caring for our animals. If you enjoy cooking, you’ll find plenty of kindred spirits here—we love preparing meals with others and cooking together or taking turns ;) You’ll have access to bikes for exploring, and we love practicing other languages too. If this sounds like your kind of place, we would be so happy to welcome you!

Accommodation
Volunteers stay in a comfortable, private, large room in a historic house with a nice view, shared bathroom, you will have the use of an extra kitchen/sitting space ( separate from the rest of the family) where you are welcome to prepare your own lunch/breakfast and watch TV, relax, and also have WIFI here too.
Meals and cooking tasks will generally be shared. We love good, healthy food, organic vegetables from our garden.
We also suggest that if, after a week, you don't think that our home offers you what you want, then you really should feel free to say so and move on, with no hard feelings.
What else ...
We really enjoy having practical people with us, because the projects we need to work on are really for 'hands-on' people. it would be a help if you have experience with outdoor projects.
