    Description

    We are a couple (and a cat and 8 chickens, and 2 pygmy goats) looking for some help around our house. We have started to transform our garden into a beautiful place for growing vegetables, feeding birds and housing animals but we would like some help to continue this project. We have an old cow shed that we would like to transform into a storage shed and we would like help with this. We have a few rooms in our house that will eventually become bedrooms and a bathroom so we would also love you to help us clear these rooms out and help us prepare them for decorating and maybe even help us decorate.

    We live right beside the most beautiful beach and we have wonderful views of The 7 Sisters mountain range which is located in west Donegal. We are about 20 min walk to the local town, which has a few pubs, cafes, and great people. We love music and would be more than happy to take you out on the town.
    We live close to Dunfanaghy, Gweedore and are 40 mins away from Letterkenny. There are buses daily to Letterkenny, Derry, Belfast, Sligo, Galway and Dublin if you wish to travel and see these places too!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We want to offer our accommodation and food in return for some help around our house. We live in one the most beautiful places in Donegal. We live right beside the coast, the Wild Atlantic Way. We are in full view of Muckish and Errigal mountains (Donegal's highest point). We think whoever wants to join us here will really appreciate the beauty of rural Donegal.

    We are looking for a lone traveller to help with transforming our garden and house. We have an area that needs some TLC and we have a few more exciting landscaping projects in mind. We also have plans to transform the upstairs of our house into 2 beautiful bedrooms and would love some help clearing them out.

    Accommodation

    You will be staying in our main house.We live in a 4 bedroom house that includes a living area, music room, office and kitchen and bathroom. You will have full access to the kitchen and any ingredients you want. We aren't the type of people to eat at the same time every day, as we can be busy, so you can cook your own meals when you wish. We can also cook for you when we are cooking for ourselves.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In your spare time you can visit all the local sites, which includes the beach, the mountain range, Glenveagh National Park, HornHead, among many more.
    As a couple we both work full time jobs and that's why we need your help. One of us works 30 mins away and the other works from home so there will always be someone at home.
