We are a very friendly and approachable Irish couple who are extremely fortunate to own two cottages at Malin Head, co Donegal, Ireland.
We reside in England most of the year but our Irish cottages form a very important part of our lives.
These cottages are traditional Irish cottages which we have restored by ourselves over the past 14 years.
They are located in one of Ireland’s most beautiful and scenic areas which is part of the wild Atlantic Way.
As part of the ongoing restoration process we are planning to renovate/ convert two existing stone buildings into an Art Studio / Gallery and interior decoration of restored bird / whale watching facility.
I would greatly appreciate an extra pair of hands to help me with the tasks involved.
You do not have to have specific building skills or knowledge; just need to be keen and enjoy physical activity and learning new skills.
If someone is interested they will get the opportunity to stay for free in lovely accommodation with superb food in one of the most iconic parts of the Wild Atlantic Way.
You will have a very memorable experience in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland and you will be helping to create something magical for future guests to see when they visit this unique part of Ireland.
On a personal note we are both teachers who took early retirement in order to pursue other interests; of which the restoration and development of our Irish home is an important part.
I look forward to hearing back from any interested people.
Kind regards

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
They will certainly learn new skills about restoring an old stone building. They will also be learning about a unique part of Ireland from someone who has taught all their professional life.
They will experience living for a short period of time in one of Ireland’s most beautiful and iconic landscapes.
They will also have the opportunity to be part of creating something special and I guarantee that they will want to return.
They will leave with a Malin Head Memory they won’t forget.
Our cottages are form part of Ireland’s most northerly Clachan - they are located at Banba’s Crown, Ireland’s most northerly point. Made famous recently as one of the sites the movie “The last Jedi” was filmed here but more importantly it is the kingdom of the Tuatha De Danann the mystical little people of Ireland.
It is also one of the most iconic parts of the wild Atlantic Way.
They will also have an opportunity to be given a personal tour of the most interesting parts of this incredible place.
They will experience a real Irish welcome!
I'll provide the skills and knowledge, tools and any safety clothes, gloves, etc required.
I just want a keen person who is reasonably fit and likes physical outdoor projects.
