****** UPDATE Summer 2025*******
Hello Katya here, Robin & Catherine's daughter.
I have taken over the main house and hosting workawayers.
This summer projects will be mostly gardening, garden care, light house painting and other random things that come up. x
***************************
We live 3 miles from Castledermot co. Kildare on a tillage farm in a house that was built by our family in 1775. It was originally a mill house so we still have the mill race for swimming. The garden around the house needs a lots of trimming down and replanting.
We also need help in the house with painting.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
This house is a heritage house that has been in the same family since it was first built in 1776. So there are many layers of family history. Workawayers benefit from the fact that it is a working farm, that we have a great vegetable garden and that I work as a sculptor as well as running this house. They would also realise that we are interested in culture, music the arts and above all conversation.
Ayuda
Help also welcome in the vegetable garden, also thinning saplings. Ability to use a small chain saw would be great and it would be an advantage if you could use a strimmer BUT its not a must.

My girlfriend and me had lovely 10 days in Millbrook and we already miss it very much. Robin, Catherine and their family are just awsome. You immediately feel very welcome by them and they treat you to the best.

Robin and Catherine are two of the most generous, lovely people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Their home is amazing - not only because it is beautiful but because they make it warm and welcoming. Sharing food and many wonderful conversations in this house will always be one of my fondest memories.

Some things in life are difficult to describe - and staying with the Greenes is such a case. All of them make you feel like home from the moment you arrive till the point of time you have to leave finally - a sad moment of course!

We were treated as a part of the family and given a good taste of being Anglo-Irish. We were also able to visit many tourist sites in the area due to the close proximity to Dublin, Kilkenny, and Carlow. The work is hard but satisfying and completely worth it because the cooking and accommodation are absolutely amazing.
