Descripción
I live in a beautiful rural area at the foot hills of the Slievebloom mountains. My cottage was built early 1800, and I am continually working to improve garden and house. I have 2 dogs and one now seemingly rehomed dog!!!!He never left!!!
Very historical area close to double ringed fairy fort, a national monument of heritage.Also my cottage overlooks the most haunted castle in Ireland, Leap Castle.
I am a very easy going person who likes meeting new people, I have worked with horses all my life and sill have two of my own, and ocassionally go driving with the little cob "Luigi". I like music and love all animals.
I need help with painting , house cleaning and animal care, looking after chickens, dogs and garden. At present I need to clear a field of Ragworth so would need people to pull and gather it in the field.
I also need a stone mason to build some small walls in outdoor sun room, and carpenter skills would be fantastic 😊
I hope to refurbish a camper van, so help with that would be great.

Tino was a pleasure to have help out. He was willing to do all he was asked to do and more. He seemed to enjoy the animals even though he was here when we lost our lovely dog Jenny, she was ill and put to sleep. It was an emotional time and Tino was very respectful of our grief. Good company and his english is alot better than he thinks. I hope he… read more

brocken cottage was my first workaway event for more than 2 weeks. It was a very good place for me to improve my english, because Jayne is a very friendly and relaxed person. I quickly felt at home. - I worked a lot with wood (upcycling). Jayne gave me an absolutely free hand in the implementation. I could work very independent and inventive. I… read more

It was a pleasure hosting Volker, he is polite, good conversation, and easy company. He is very creative in his work and very inventive, as I like to up-cycle things. He built a lovely lean to for me and secured my seating area from the chickens. He mended doors, painted, cut grass and everything else that was asked of him. I would recommend… read more

Kevin was very diligent in his work, and I was very impressed by his perseverance in painting the windows at the cottage.They turned out fabulous. Kevin was thrown in at the deep end with my 2 horses, and remained calm throughout. Horses liked him, I enjoyed his very pleasant company, easy going and well able to cook for himself. He was very… read more

Jayne was an excellent host. She has a wonderful home and property with a beautiful vision for enhancing it. We did lots of work and had good fun. I very much enjoyed her animals as well. She's direct and open in her communications. She was very helpful and supportive during my visit, encouraging me to go exploring. Highly recommended!

Jayne is a wonderful person and a really good host. She is very kind and always thankful for any help. When we forgot things she was honest and said that it shouldn't happen again...which is good! The work wasn't that difficult and we had enough time to travel to kinnitty if we want to and to see the beautiful landscape. It was also great that she… read more

We enjoyed our time at the bracken cottage from the first moment we arrived. Jayne is a easy going and very open person, who hasn't got a proplem in giving clear instructions. In her typical "do it yourself" way, she always knows what to do. For us every day was a surprise, cause the work we did was from day to day different. These versatility was… read more

Emi and I had a most wonderful two weeks with Jayne and her crew of pups. Jayne is consistently upbeat, warm, and always interesting to talk to and to learn from about topics ranging from Irish spirits to horse care! And we do still believe she just might be a dog whisperer ;) a friendlier set of dogs than Lulu, Fred, and Scrapper is hard to come… read more
