Description
We are a busy household with five children ages 14, 16, 18, 21, and 23. There are four girls and a boy in the middle. We also regularly look after other children who come and go from the house. We are all very friendly and love music, laughing, and hanging out with each other. We have a farm with sheep, cattle, hens, a pony, a rabbit and two dogs. We have a beautiful view of Bantry Bay and the surrounding landscape from our house,

The main benefit of working here would be the experiences that can be gained from living on a rural farm in Ireland. We have breathtaking scenery, with an amazing view of Bantry Bay. Rural farm life can be difficult but is extremely rewarding. You will also get to experience living with a large family, which can be really fun!

I loved his way with the kids even when he was made a human weighing… read more

Linda was lovely to have around. She was so helpful in the house and without been asked, She just knew what had to be done. She was hardworking outside too, but was content to do the kitchen work which was really great.
We had two other workawayers while she was around so it was not until we had her on or own that her lovely personality shone as… read more

I had a great time there and it is difficult to find a better host than Catherine and Denis. They always care for you and show you around many places in the area. This makes my stay to a wonderful remaining memory. Thank you for all.

Marcia was our first workawayer and she made it a lovely experience.
She brought sunshine to our house and felt so much like one of our family. We hope you can come back again. Great worker and very willing even if it was cold and windy. She was perfect. We hope to see you soon Marcia, the children loved you so much and still do.

A truly lovely, kind and caring family to stay with. Unfortunately due to health reasons, I couldn't stay with them long but would recommend to any workawayers. Thank you so much Catherine, Denis and children for everything.
