Kilcummin Beg

We live in the very South West of Ireland in Kerry. On the foot of the Beenoskee mountain 5min away from a 10 kilometer sand beach called Brandon Bay. We have changed the 220 year old farmhouse in a beautiful hobbies like home using mainly eco-friendly materials. We have a big enough garden where we started this year to implement the Vietnamese Farming Technik. We have Polly tunnel
and Chickens all of it supplies us with a part of our foods. We bake our own sourdough bread and if time allows us we pick wild foods from the seashore and other places. This year we need helpers for the renovation of the second old farm house . We use natural building materials like hemp plaster and newspaper roof isolation. Also some garden work in summer. Your privat room is in a lovely little caravan otherwise you are with us in the house.

I'm Maja original German and Oliver my husband is French. We live here in Ireland for 25 years . Oliver has his business where we live . He makes the most delicious foods out of meats like Salamis ,Payed, pickled seaweeds and lots more which he sells on markets. I own a cheese Shop / Cafe in the nearby Town Tralee. I used to make cheeses in my own dairy for 20 years but gave that up. We will be happy to show you our trades and will make you feel at home. We love having people working and living with us. It is always a great exchange and fun. Ps minimum stay 4 weeks. We prefer longer .

I have nothing but nice words to say about my stay. Maja and Oliver are both incredibly kind people, who made this place feel like second home. Work varies a lot, the amount is completely reasonable and in exchange you get to eat a lot of delicious food, stay in a place surrounded by mountains AND right next to the sea at the same time, meet interesting people and last but not least learn a lot of things - about renovations, upcycling, growing and cooking your own food... And games, you also learn a lot of games (if you want to of course, nobody is going to force you (probably)) ;)

My experience in Kerry was incredible. Maja and Olivier received me very well. I really felt at home. The food was amazing, they like to consume local and organic products. I stayed in the caravan and it was good for me because I had more privacy, the bed was ok and I had heating when it was cold. The house is surrounded by nature with the beach near. The most close town is Castlegregory (6,6 km) where I could get the bus to Tralee or Dingle. I like to hike so I enjoyed a lot this stay because there are lots of trails close to the house. The work was hard sometimes but it we had time to do it.

Maja and Olivier are amazing hosts who made me feel at home from the very first moment. At the same time, they completely respected my privacy. The work was varied and exactly as we agreed. And the local nature absolutely impressed me. I warmly recommend this place and I hope I can come back soon.

My experience with Maja and Olivier was wonderful. They're wonderful people, and their children are very kind and make you feel at home. The work is easy, but it's also important to be proactive. On your days off, you can take Lota (their dog) for a walk on the beach; she really enjoys it. Thank you for all the love you gave us; you're wonderful.
