Creagh House

It's fun being at Creagh during the summer, there's lots of people staying, music and dance, and walks in the woods, and sometimes canoeing. We like to meet people from other cultures. Quieter in the winter, and colder but we generally still have fun 😊 In winter you should be prepared for cold temperatures in the house, we generally live at 14 deg centigrade, except for the main living room which has a stove. Dancing keeps you warm!

You will be treated as one of the family! We work hard but not for long hours. We eat together at least once a day, and sometimes go out in the evening together. Volunteers sleep in a large dormitory room, with up to 4 other people of any gender. We do have a tiny mezzanine available sometimes for couples.
Routine is that you will work 4 days a week for 6 hours each day though we can be flexible, for instance if you are working on line you can distribute your 25 hours a week so that you can still keep up with your remote working. We expect you to be flexible too, sometimes you will be asked to work a weekend shift, or start early. Work is all physical, cleaning, ironing , changing beds, gardening, painting, construction, emptying compost toilet cleaning geese pen, chopping wood, stacking turf etc etc

If you want a proper community living experience, come to the guest house, especially if you love music, dancing and outdoor adventures in the Irish countryside. The people you'll meet here are relationships for life. The work is fun & fair. Any skill you have will be valued. The house is old and facilities can be basic, so come with an open mind and be ready to embrace the quirks. If you're adaptable, the sense of belonging and vibes make it all worthwhile. Bring warm clothes! It's hard to explain the guest house but it's magical. Thank you to everyone at the guest house who have given me a home away from home.

At the guest house, you are truly immersed in an authentic Irish family culture. You become part of the family, their daily routines, and the fun that comes with this lifestyle — with plenty of music, dancing, cooking, and even cold-water swimming in the lake. Annie and Peter are wonderful people. The house is absolutely huge and beautiful, almost like a “castle” in the countryside. So, there is always plenty of work to do if you want to contribute and make a difference. I highly recommend this experience.

Anni y Peter son unos anfitriones excelentes. Están muy atentos a todo lo que necesitas y te incluyen en muchos de sus planes haciendo posible una inmersión real de la cultura Irlandesa. Es una casa viva, siempre hay gente, música, alegría. El exterior de la casa es espectacular, tienes cerca el pueblo andando, lagos, rutas de senderismo. Un 10 de experiencia. Volvería a repetir sin duda!

I can't say enough good things about my experience at the guest house. This place was an absolute gem where you can immerse yourself in amazing Irish nature and culture. Although I had to leave early due to illness, I loved my stay in the guest house. At first, it was a bit of challenge dealing with limited ingredients in kitchen, it's a perfect spot for vegetarians as Annie cooks a variety of healthy meals using fresh ingredients from garden. I highly recommend here to anyone seeking authentic Irish culture, especially musicians and artists since there are dance and music sessions held regularly.

Annie and Pete are kind and friendly hosts. This was my very first experience, and they made me feel incredibly welcome and safe from the moment I arrived. Every day was filled with delicious, healthy meals, simple yet fulfilling tasks, and a deep cultural immersion. I absolutely loved the unique moments that made this trip so special, like taking invigorating cold dips in the lake and participating in the amazing dance classes. They went above and beyond to make my first stay unforgettable, and I left loving every single moment. Highly recommended!
