Descripción
We are a young couple (27 & 28 yo) who recently bought an old stone cottage in Co. Cork, Ireland. The cottage (where you will stay and have your own room) is located 200m from a small village (Dromahane) which has a shop and pub and 10 minutes from a big town (Mallow) that has all amenities and a train station.

Both of us are very active and like to do a lot of sport so we are in and out of the house all day. There are nice hikes near by and world class mountain biking trails 30mins away. There is also a lake for swimming and sauna.

We are looking for easy going, friendly individuals or couples to help us with jobs around the house and garden e.g. painting, fencing, starting a vegetable garden, clearing overgrown hedges, chopping wood. The house is a working progress and each week there is something different to be done so we are looking for people who aren't afraid of a bit of hard work and will throw their hat at anything! Some days might be 2 hours some 4 hours so people who are open to a flexible schedule would be best.

We are happy for people to come and help with jobs in the morning and go explore the surrounding area in the evening or for the weekend. If you want to do something or visit somewhere we will try our best to facilitate it or at least point you in the right direction!

You MUST like dogs as we have a friendly collie who lives both inside and outside and likes to curl up next to you on the couch.

We want to learn from you as much as you from us. We want someone who will mingle around the house and enjoy our company. We work both in Cork city (30 mins away) and we are happy for you to explore the city and wonderful beaches in Cork and Kerry. You will experience quite country life while still being able to wander through a beautiful city if you wish to do so.
