We live in an old farmhouse in a very quiet location ca 20km from Kilkenny. The house has three bedrooms, one bathroom, a large kitchen, a sitting room and a study with broadband access. We run a small bakery called Speltbakers from a bakehouse across from the house. The bakery will be on holidays for July.
We have a large garden with a - not in use - vegetable garden and polytunnel and three ponds. There are swings for children and also a workshed.
We have two dogs, some cats with kittens, chickens and guinea fowl, two birds and some houseplants that would need looking after.
Housesitting would mostly require feeding the animals and locking the fowl in at night. The dogs are used to sleeping in the house but have a kennel over the day. Gardening is up to you. If you like it great, if you'd rather not,that's fine too.
Kilkenny and Waterford are within easy driving distance, Dublin is only 2 hours away and we live close to the Blackstairs mountains and the beautiful rivers Barrow and Nore. We have one kajak and some bicycles including a tandem in the house.
Due to the location of the house and the bad public transport system in Ireland, it is probably essential that you have a car for the duration of your stay. We will be travelling with ours.
I look forward to hearing from you Josephine
