Descripción
Myself and my partner run an unofficial animal sanctuary, we have 18 cats, 5 dogs, 1 African Grey Parrot, 4 horses, 5 ponies and numerous hens, ducks, geese, turkey, pigeons etc. Anyone who comes to stay with us would have to be a serious animal lover as the cats and dogs are treated as part of the family and we never know what may be coming, last year we had 4 fox cubs and a baby badger. If you want to sit on the sofa you first have to move the cat/dog! Anyone allergic to fur or feathers would never survive. We would like help with animals and gardening. At the moment we could do with someone to help get stables for the winter.

Geoff stayed with us for 2 weeks, not nearly long enough. He was great around the house and the animals loved him, he even volunteered to do one of the night feeds for the puppy. He had great energy and was a very fast worker. We hope he will visit again, he will always be welcome.

I stayed here in Coolkellure for two weeks with Jenny and Andrew and it was a great experience! Every day was different and I got to learn a lot about looking after animals and just helped out wherever I could. I also got to explore a lot of Cork doing gardening in different places which I loved.

Lenka stayed with us for 3 weeks, it was a pleasure to have her around and she was a very hard worker. The only problem was not having a language in common,it would have been really nice to have been able to chat, using the phone as a translater was not the same. We would be very happy if she decided to visit again.

I stayed with Jenny and Andrew for 2 weeks in June, it was my first time in Workaway and I couldn't expect anything better ! I learn a lot of things about gardening and animals, the work was great, and I also learn a lot about the history of the country.

Andrew and Jenny are lovely and very welcoming; you couldn't wish for kinder Workaway hosts. The help is fine, I mostly weeded and mowed a lawn- if you don't know how to do anything, they'll teach you! The animals are all sweet and well-cared for. The bathroom was alright, and the guest bedroom was fine, but the rest of the house was a mess. There… read more

A lot of what Beate has written is wrong, we do not breed animals, we have 21 cats and 4 dogs, all are neutered, both male and female. We did have 2 kittens here while she was here, we did not breed them, they were found in a cardboard box on the side of the road. These kittens like everything else came here because nobody wanted them. The only… read more

I stayed with Andrew and Jenny for 3 weeks this summer. The work was not very difficult, but it was laborious at times. I mostly helped Andrew with his work as a gardener, in locations all over Cork County. Unfortunately I have to say that the animals do not have great living conditions. The 70 + hens are kept on dirt, and with no grass to wander… read more

I went to Jenny and Andrew in last April and all was alright. It was the first time when I left abroad only and they very well welcomed me. They are both very kind.
If you like the big spaces and the animals you will like this house and to work on it.

If you get the chance to stay with Andrew and Jenny, they will most likely do more than just provide for you. I myself was included in several days out with their family (who were also very easy to get along with). This was a great opportunity to see some beautiful places in county Cork and meeting some new people.

Roxy has come here every year since 2010 and is now like one of the family. She is a hard and willing worker and just gets on with things without being asked. She helps with both the gardening and the pets. I have no problem in recommending her for any type of work.

Ever since I first came to Jen and Andrew's in 2010, I have made fantastic memories of the place, the hosts and the animals. Although the smell can be overwhelming at first, I thoroughly enjoyed my regular stays with Jen and Andrew. The gardening chores are easy enough, as are animal care and other tasks. I enjoy the remoteness of their home, it… read more

Very good hosts. The atmosphere is relaxed, Jen and Andrew are flexible and take your needs under consideration. Animals are everywhere but it is the best part of the stay.
