Castlehouse B+B

Castlehouse is in the third generation of my family and was originally built by my grand father, it is a house that oozes character and old world charm. My house
has a sea and mountain view and is just a five minute walk to the beach, Renvyle where I live is on the Wild Atlantic Way in north Connemara one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. Castlehouse is located in a small village that has one small and one large shops, another village 1.5 km away has a couple of pubs and restaurants. Connemara National is 5 km away and Kylemore Abbey is 8 km. Any volunteer that comes will have the chance to improve there English and immerse themselves in Irish culture and our way of life, and you will have the chance to meet people from all over the world. Accommodation is a mixture of private and dorm where you will share with just one other person and this is only in peak season. Sorry lads but I only accept ladies as I don't have enough separate accommodation.You will be given three good meals a day and have two days a week off, you will also have the use of my mountain bike during your stay.
I also have a small sheep and Connemara pony farm and you are more than welcome to come along and see how things are done..

I have lived in Renvyle all my life apart from the five years I spent in boarding school. Cycling is my main hobby and the Renvyle area is well suited to it. I am a keen cook with an interest in experimenation I have been running a B+B since 1990 and I love meeting people from all over the world..I enjoy foreign travel and have visited most European countries. I am quiet an easy going person and I treat everybody with respect.

It was my first time volonteering, and i loved it. The tasks were really easy (cleaning, ironing, help for the breakfast...). John is a really nice person, and he will advices you to visit the connemara correctly (the nationnal park, kylemore abbey...)
I really enjoyed my time there. I am a vegetarian and John cooked some really good vegetarians meals.
The place is trully beautiful; we can see the hills and the sea from the place, it's a really nice place to stay for volonteering.

I had so much fun! I was there for a month and I was able to visit a lot of places nearby, because John was so kind to drop me and the other volunteer off at the bus station. It is possible to walk to the station, but it takes over an hour and there is no sidewalk or grass where you could walk on, so you would have to walk on a road with cars driving 80km/h. It also has to be noticed that he may not be able to do that for everyone because it depends on how busy the BnB is. In return we almost always cooked the lunch for which (and in general) we could use everything that was in the house.

This was a great place to have my first Worldpackers experience. The B&B is located in a beautiful area in the countryside, and John is a very welcoming host, helping you get around and suggesting things for you to do. The work mostly consisted of cleaning and helping out serving breakfasts. I would definitely recommend this experience, especially if you are looking to see a quieter part of Ireland with beautiful scenery.

I recommend this place 100%! John really cared that I had everything I needed and that the experience was the best it could be.
I felt at home there and all the places around are totally worth seeing!!
The work is definitely not hard to learn and after some time you can enjoy doing it and helping.
I had also a loot of free time after the work.
All this place has really unique vibe and I would definitely like to come back one day!
Thank you once again!
