The Experience

I live in a rural country cottage right beside a white sandy beach I am absolutely useless at gardening and I would just love to try and get the place into shape somehow there is no force labor or nothing it's just something I would be happy to have help with. I also have a large stable of classic cars so if anyone has an interest in that it would be also nice. I can give tours of the locality on your days off and there are also lots of walks.

Johnny is a welcoming host with witty humour. He communicates well and everything was how we agreed upon. His enthusiasm about the culture will make you want to learn more and wander around the place surrounded by nature.

My experience with John was not what i expected it to be like at all. he barely included me in the daily activities he told me about over messages, he's quite mean but blames it on “how the Irish are”, and some problems came up during my stay where i offered to fix things but he didn't want to commit to anything. he made me find somewhere to stay for 6 days after a week of being there because he has to go away for “a work thing”, but then when he got back, he told me he needed to go back during the next week so he told me i needed to find somewhere to go for good. & was uncomfy living w him.

For someone who says I was mean.. I paid for your hostel. For the first week you were in Ireland...you were getting 90 euro a week as well when you were here including all your food and everything else.. and then you expect me not to work.. and you expected your 90 euro every week. Activities. Weather cancelled some fuel shortage cancelled others.. not my fault.. also never once did you ask when you were taking food whether any of it was my own personal food or not..
