Laural Cottage is located on the banks of Cork's idyllic Lakelands at Inniscara which stretch for in excess of 9 Km of navigable rivers. A quaint Country Home on eight rolling acres extending along the sylvan shore of the Dripsey river. Ideal location for walking or cycling over unspoilt countryside. We keep horses, dogs and cats so it helps to be an animal lover! We need help with gardening (planting, weeding, removing ivy) and general repair and maintenance inside and outside the house,so construction skills would be an asset. All will have a very enjoyable time if willing to get stuck into the work. There is lots to do for relaxation such as walking, cycling, kayaking, sailing and fishing on the lakes. We are also located on the main Cork - Kerry bus route with the historic towns of Blarney and Killarney en route.

Magical 5.5 acres coastal site 2k from Bantry with waterfalls. Established garden, orchard and tunnel with more ground for increasing production. Plenty of digging and weeding! Alternatively lots of building happening as we are finishing our house rebuild (after a fire) and there is an old mill that needs renovation. We particularly welcome people who are interested in Yoga or other form of Self Development

We live in the beautiful mountains of West Cork, a thatched house on 25 acres, 12 of which is bogland and given over to the horses and wildlife, the rest in small fields, gardens and woodland. There’s always repair work needed to fences, walls, drains etc. and you’ll assist with the vegetable garden, willow beds, dry-stone walling, gate making, forestry work, building, digging and general farm maintenance as well as helping with the animals, horses (various), donkeys, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. Aidrian has a commercial recording studio: www.tribarac.com Accommodation is a caravan, and we are one mile from the local shop and pub, a half hour drive from the coast and 40 minutes from Cork City. Buses come from Cork city and Killarney and we can pick up from Macroom. We have hosted Wwoofers for many years now and have met some wonderful people and made some good friends along the way. Vegetarian and non Vegetarian diets catered for. We welcome all skills and are open to incorporate new ideas in the practicalities and aesthetics of our life here, with no special skills required, just initiative, willingness, a love of music and a sense of humour!
