    Description

    We live on a wonderful little island of the coast of Co. Mayo. We have two beautiful dogs Daisy and Luna and they enjoy attention and going for lovely coastal walks around our beautiful island.

    The volunteers enjoy the poly tunnel sowing and taking care of the fruit and vegetables for home use. We also have a wonderful flower garden that requires care and attention, keeping the hedges trimmed and doing some weeding from time to time.

    We enjoy the company of our Workawayers and have great fun together. We bake Irish soda bread, as well as scones. We like going for walks with the dogs, going fishing and some times looking after the sheep. Of course in summer we love going sea swimming as we live on the beach front and enjoy walking on the hot sand and soaking up the sun. Our door is always open to guests and you will meet many locals who come to our kitchen for tea and coffee. Our helpers like to get involved in our homely island community, there is a lovely Community Club, a shop less than 3 minutes away from our house. There you can enjoy traditional music and dance, have a drink & meal, meet new local friends and have chats and laughs. Our poly tunnel and garden is for our own private use and is not for profit. When we have surplus vegetables we give them to our friends and families on our little island as everyone helps each other, in every possible way. This is the nature of a small island community. The volunteers loves this aspect of our lifestyle.

    We all live in one with nature and you will be made very welcome by the island community.

    We would love for you to mind the dogs (daily walks and feeding). Luna is a small, adorable dog who loves attention and cuddles. She loves to sit on the couch with you or go on big walks around the island and down to the beach. Daisy is our sheep dog, she is more shy and needs time to open up to people, but once she gets to know you she will love you. She goes to herd the sheep with Bernard, but enjoys cuddles when she is home and likes to explore the island as well. They are both great for going on daily hikes and love their breakfast in the morning. You will love them.

    The poly tunnel, where we sow our own vegetables and fruit, needs help too. If you like gardening, you will love it here. The flower garden invites you for general maintenance as well. Other days there might be more house work (dishes, hoovering, cleaning and helping prepare meals).

    You are also very welcome to cook dinner on some nights or show us your own country's traditional meals (we will organize whatever ingredients you require).

    Sometimes the volunteers like to ramble the fields and mountains to see the sheep and lambs, accompanying Bernard and his sheep dog Daisy, this is a great adventure and experience.

    We provide nice, comfortable accommodation and WIFI for a solo WorkAway. There is a daily return ferry service to the island on the Pirate Queen, the trip takes 55 minutes from Roonagh Pier near Louisburgh. Co Mayo. We will help and guide you with your travel plans to the island re ferry times and transport from Westport..

    Inishturk Island is a little paradise of peace and tranquility. You arrive here as a helper (Workaway) and you leave as our friends. There is spectacular scenery with incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean. From staggering cliffs to hiking hills and beautiful sandy beaches there is plenty to enjoy and explore. There is irish traditional music and dance some weekends in the Community Club (less than 3 minutes away).
