We live in a beautiful historic house just outside Buttevant Town with ten acres of grounds to include a cottage which we are currently renovating. We love welcoming people from all over the world who are interested in learning about Irish Culture.
We are a young couple with a little girl Imogen and newborn baby, Teddy. James is a businessman, diy enthusiast, cottage restorer, chief cookie and bonfire maker. He likes sports, the gym and learning new skills. He will teach you 'cupla focail' and some general diy skills.
I am an Artist. I love hiking, painting, swimming in the sea and learning about other cultures. l may even paint your portrait. I have painted each of my workawayers so far!
Imogen is a darling girl, loves playing, chatting, walks, eating, songs and lots of attention.
Our house is a five minute walk to the medieval town of Buttevant and the popular tourist village of Doneraile is 6km. If you like hikes, the Ballyhoura mountains are nearby.
Your English will improve through chats and you will meet our wonderful friends. If you wish to explore yourself, the bus connections from Buttevant are excellent. We have an hourly bus connection to Cork, Limerick and Galway cities, making it easy to connect all over Ireland.
We love hearing from people with a genuine love for children, people with carpentry skills or a knowledge of building work/gardening!

Private bedroom, bathroom is off the hall but will be for workawayers use only. Breakfast and lunch, you fend for yourself, I always have lots of cereal, eggs, cheeses, fruits and homemade bread in the house. We take turns cooking dinner at seven each evening and we sit down to eat as a group.
You would be most welcome to join us on hikes and daytrips, Ireland is so beautiful and we love exploring at the weekend. As we are so close to public transport, on your days off it would be a lovely opportunity to discover Ireland yourself.
