We are a family of four: Shane and Angela, with our children Maryanne, 14, and Joseph, 13 . We live on a small family farm in Inch, near Inch Beach, in beautiful County Kerry.
We have 2 dogs, 5 cats, 2 donkeys, 4 hens, a duck and around 40 goats, so there is always something happening here!
We are currently starting a new project restoring our neighbouring cottage, which was originally built in 1906. The cottage has two parts: the old original section with the traditional half-door, and a newer extension built in the 1980s.
The main work will involve repairing and plastering walls in the old part of the cottage, as well as helping to bring the garden back to life. The garden has been neglected for a while, so someone with green fingers would be very welcome!
We may have relatives staying in the cottage from time to time, but mostly it will be used for Workawayers while the project is ongoing.
We would love to welcome someone who enjoys family life, animals, the countryside and getting involved in practical projects. We are also very interested in learning Spanish, especially Maryanne, so we would be delighted to host Spanish-speaking Workawayers.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Our family would really enjoy a cultural exchange. Our children are learning Spanish in school, so it would be lovely to help each other with language learning in a relaxed, everyday way.
We’d love to share Irish culture, rural life, and what it’s like living on a small family farm by the sea in West Kerry.
In return, we’d love to learn about your culture, traditions, and especially food — sharing meals, recipes, and stories together. It’s important to us that this feels like a genuine exchange, where everyone learns something new and enjoys the experience.
We are a small family living on a farm near Inch Beach in beautiful West Kerry, Ireland. We are currently renovating a traditional stone cottage (Julia’s Cottage) and would love some help along the way.
We’re looking for one or two friendly, easygoing people who would enjoy a mix of outdoor and creative work. Tasks include gardening, painting, and a bit of fencing — nothing too heavy, just helping us bring the place back to life.
We would especially love to meet someone who speaks Spanish, as we’re hoping to learn and practice while you’re here — so it’s a cultural exchange as much as anything 😊
You’ll be staying in the cottage itself, so it’s a lovely opportunity to experience rural Irish life, close to the sea, with beautiful views and plenty of fresh air.
Our home is 3 minutes away from the cottage. We have a small goat farm and make cheese. We won't be looking for any help on the farm or with the cheese business. All the help will be in the cottage and garden. You will of course get to eat our yummy goats cheese 😃
If you enjoy nature, simple living, and being part of a small project, we’d love to hear from you.

Maryanne & Joseph are learning Spanish in school. I would love to learn some Spanish also.
Acomodação
The cottage is a 3 bedroom home. It's a 5 minute walk away from our home & farm. You would have your own space. A kitchen & sitting room. The full use of the seaside cottage. We would be working away on the renovations . We would all eat together some days & we would provide food for you to cook yourself also.
Algo mais...
Our home is surrounded by nature, with the sea in front of us and the Slieve Mish Mountains behind us — perfect for hiking and exploring. We are just 5 miles from the famous Inch Beach, known for surfing, swimming, fishing and long beach walks.
We live a short drive from the village of Annascaul, and there is a bus stop just outside the house with regular buses to both Dingle and Killarney. Dingle is a lively tourist town with great music, cafés and beautiful scenery, while Killarney is famous for its lakes, mountains and national park.
Helpers can enjoy the peaceful countryside, local pubs with traditional Irish music, beaches, hiking trails and stunning views all around the area. It’s a great place for anyone who enjoys nature, outdoor life and experiencing real rural Ireland.

This was my first workaway experience and I couldn’t have wished for a better one. I stayed with this wonderful family for about four weeks and the time flew very fast!! From the first minute they made me feel like being part of the family which I really enjoyed..even if I didn`t talk that much ;) Angela and Shane are really welcoming and… read more generous..always made sure that I had everything I needed and drove to/picked me up from the bus station, the beach or my trips to for example Dingle (I spent a lot of time there) at any time. They live near the spectacular and long Inch Beach where I got the chance to learn how to surf which was really exciting even though I am not really good in catching waves ;) the area is absolutely stunning, the mountains right behind the house and the view from the living room window directly at the sea. I totally enjoyed spending time with Maryanne and Joseph who are just great little people. We had a lot of fun together playing games, jumping on the trampoline, being creative or the daily piggyback sessions :) I really miss these times!!
I would definitely choose Maryanne, Joseph, Angela and Shane as a host again and I can highly recommend this family with all my heart! Thank you so much for the experience I have made and for everything else. All the best!!

Anina was a pleasure to have in our home. She settled in very quick in our family and had a great connection with our kids. Anina was like an older sister ,who was so thoughtful and caring while minding the kids. She was also a great help to me keeping the place tidy. Anina is a fantastic guest to have in your home. she played with the kids cooked… read more them dinner helped them with there homework , read them bedtime stories , got them to bed and up and ready for school in the morning. Anina made the most of her time off going walking , cycling and exploring the area no matter what the weather!!! Any host family would be lucky to have Anina stay with them. We hope next summer Anina will come back and visit her Irish family , we all miss her and wish her all the best.

I stayed with this wonderful family for about one month and it was just amazing! From the first day, they made me feel at home and I always enjoyed being part of their family.

We always had great fun together and they gave me so much during my stay, I truly miss them! The area is very beautiful and on my last day I was still absolutely amazed by the amazing view from the house. There are a lot of opportunities to go hiking in the mountains and Shane even took me kayaking once, which was so cool! I always love to think back to the moments I shared with this amazing family and I can't describe how thankful I am for everything. Thank you so much and I hope to see you all again one day!

Hi there! I just wanted to thank you again for my very first workaway experience I had at your home! You were all so incredibly welcoming and just pretty relaxed, it was so easy for me to feel at home from the very start! The region around Inch Beach is just stunning and I had some of the most beautiful walks in my life. But most important: I just… read more enjoyed the atmosphere within your family, playing with Maryanne and Joseph or having snuggle time with your lovely dogs. The work was not demanding and varied. Thanks for the many times you collected me and for all the lifts! So anyway, I hope you are all well enjoyed the Christmas time and hopefully many more good workaway experiences! All the best, Alina

You could not have a nicer person stay in your home than Sarka. She stayed with us for a few weeks and every day was a pleasure. My two kids aged 4 and 6 fell in love with her . Sarka was kind patient and was so creative in arts and craft activity with the kids. Sarka is a hardworking honest reliable person. She was such a great help to me with my… read more children and housework .We have a small goat farm here and 3 dogs ,cats and hens .Sarka was so willing and eager to learn how to look after all the animals .I was able to away for a few days and leave Sarka looking after all the animals on the farm. She was even great at milking the goats. She has an adventures spirt and was so happy to put on her hiking boots and go off up the mountains exploring.
I can safely say any home would be blessed to have Sarka stay . On top of everything shes a great cook . It was such a treat to taste some delicious traditional Czech meals and to learn a bit about Czech culture. I hope one day she will come and visit us again. Angela.
