The Experience

We need help in our small wood, carrying logs, and tidying woodlands. Our plan is to restore our section of the river for flyfishing for the conservation of Salmon and trout This river project is for the summer months only, as the river is too high during the winter to help there. There will also be occasional help around the farm, clearing areas, and general gardening

Staying at the home in Slane is a truly special and memorable experience. The property and its surroundings along the River Boyne are breathtaking, steeped in rich history and natural beauty. Fionn, Iseult y Aisling are an exceptionally kind, warm, and attentive host who makes you feel right at home from the very first moment. Whether you're enjoying the tranquility of the countryside, the beautiful the home, or the incredible landscape, it's a place that stays in your heart. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, warm hospitality, and an authentic Irish countryside experience!

My experience here was wonderful. The place is beautiful, and everyone was very kind. I had a house to myself and spent most of my time painting, which I really enjoyed because I love to paint. I highly recommend this place.

Aisling and Jurandir created an absolutely beautiful environment at the home. The community, the landscape, the nature and how easy you can get blended into their daily life is amazing. I truly enjoyed staying with them and being a part of this experience. For me it was a first experience as a volunteer and it was fantastic! :)
