    Descrição

    My husband is a freelance chef and I run a small rental property out of our guesthouse ideal for couples. Chris has lived here for 54 years and I have lived here 23 years. Candidates will not be required to manage the guesthouse in any capacity. I am solely responsible for all maintainence, cleaning and repairs. If you have an interest, my husband can do some cooking demonstrations and then partake of the meal. I cook all our meals from scratch. My garden is my joy and I would like to take it to the next level. I am seeking help with my 2 poly tunnels in which I grow all our vegetables, and garden work in general. There are 2 grapevines, and a number of soft fruit bushes, cape gooseberries, blueberries, psyllium, black currents, Chilean guava Berry's, apple trees, a herb garden, shrubs and flowers; it’s a haven. We ideally would like to house you in our detached guesthouse in exchange for garden help. In the event it is booked, we would house you in a room adjacent to the living room with privacy. This room overlooks part of the garden and 300 year old Hawthorn tree. It’s magic up here. We are an easy couple to be with and often busy with a sundry of projects during the day. We look forward to sharing a piece of our paradise and sharing meals. West Cork is a gem and there are lot’s of venues for music, hikes, walks, bicycle riding, visit an Alpaca Farm which I would ferry you to, the Famine Museum in Skibbereen, a vegan bookstore/coffee shop, restaurants and much more.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We live 15 minutes from the charming and funky village of Ballydehob. Levis Pub and Rosies often have music on weekends. There is a Wholefoods shop and one of the best cafes (BUDDS) in West Cork which serves up gorgeous breakfasts and lunches. There is also some lovely walks. My husband is a bee keeper and has six thriving hives. He would be happy to teach the art of beekeeping depending on the time of year and do some cooking demonstrations such as pasta making. We welcome folks from other cultures who want an Irish experience.

Um cara de suéter laranja tá sentado numa mesa de madeira, olhando nos olhos de um cachorrinho cinza e branco fofinho numa cozinha aconchegante.
Uma paisagem linda com campos verdes ondulados sob um céu nublado dramático. O sol está se pondo, lançando uma luz dourada e sombras longas sobre o campo.
Uma estrada sinuosa atravessa colinas gramadas sob um céu azul brilhante pontilhado de nuvens fofas. Uma jaqueta azul está pendurada em um poste branco.
A luz do sol incide sobre um jardim tranquilo com vegetação exuberante, uma grande árvore com galhos extensos, caminhos de pedra, uma pequena estátua e vistas panorâmicas distantes da zona rural.
Um nascer do sol dourado ilumina uma paisagem montanhosa enevoada. Silhuetas de árvores e colinas onduladas criam profundidade, enquanto uma única nuvem escura obscurece parcialmente o sol brilhante.
Um casal de idosos sorridente, usando óculos, tira uma selfie alegre dentro de casa. Um lustre moderno, uma planta com folhas e um ambiente aconchegante criam um fundo acolhedor e convidativo para o momento feliz deles.
