I'm sorry to leave a comment that isn't positive, but I think it can be constructive for the host and the worldpackers.
The agreed working days were not respected, and moreover the bicycles included in the description were not present.
This, together with the fact that the host had many commitments and could not accompany us around during our free time, made the experience not the best for us.
I still want to add that the tasks assigned were up to our abilities and, as for the rest, the communication was good.
The guys are treasures and they always fed us.

Marco , was very capable and pleasant , he is correct tho we are a family and not professional tour guides in the evenings -or is saddening that his and his girlfriend did not enjoy the social outings , the cultures trips , the music and the historic driving tours around west clare that we brought them on- we thought they enjoyed learning about Celtic history , ancients cliff walks and traditional methods of cooking and living/ healing . The bikes are still in the shed available .

The place is surrounded by beautiful Irish nature, very close to the sea, and the children are lovely. Unfortunately, some services mentioned in the description were not available (for example the bicycles), and there was often a tense atmosphere in the house, especially during meals. My advice for future travelers is to check in advance that all the services described are actually available.

Hi Marta , bikes are still in shed available - you both arrived wanting good WiFi to work online and find permanent jobs - when you achieved that you gave a weeks notice -explaining this was the priority for you while negating your agreement with your host . I supported you both and wished you well . In future I suggest honesty regarding your availability. Culturally we do not spend many hours eating dinner - children have sporting activities they attend in the evenings - it’s normal .

Highly recommended beautiful local areas to explore and spend my time. Assisted with my goals in becoming established with desired future destination. I really felt like a welcome guest and supplied a very comfortable stay. Sweet dogs and kind family.
