At first, everything was going well despite the poor living conditions: a 5 cm mattress on a wooden board smaller than me, badly damaged pans, strong iron-smelling water, and rust everywhere. Despite the pleasant countryside setting, the animals were kept in cages on concrete. I stayed for only 2 weeks instead of a month because Adel would sometimes swear and constantly put me down about my English, even though I came here to practice. She only accepted French people, preventing a more international experience.
Feel free to message me for more information.

Titouan you were here for 11 days and during that time I found you to be cheeky in the way you spoke to me. My dogs are in kennels for their own safety and yours we are a rescue and this why the dogs are walked on leads until they get used to the premises. We do not only accept French we have germans and Spanish alot. You were here with 2 other French at the time which was a coincidence. As for your accommodation I fail to see where the rust is as the place is constantly kept clean and has every

I enjoyed my stay there. I stayed for two weeks at Adel's farm; she picked me up and dropped me off at the bus stop. The animals are adorable, and the work schedule is respected. I also enjoyed all the time I spent with Chloe, Adel's friend. The mobile home may seem rustic to some people, feel free to ask Adel for details. Kinnegad is quite far from the farm to walk to, but the surrounding area is pretty for walks. I arrived at the farm during a difficult time for Adel, and despite this, she tried to make my stay more comfortable. I appreciated that she made sure everything was okay. Thanks !

Me and my girlfriend felt uncomfortable because of the hosts behavior. I felt disrespected by the attitude of the host. I suggest that communication be more clear. We felt the quality of food was not up to par. We felt the caravan was poorly maintained. We felt that the environment didn't allow us to enjoy the animals.

Mateo im sorry you felt that way but as you were made aware I was very stressed as a close member of family was hospitalised. I would also like to know how the food was not up to par and what you were expecting as I cooked you dinner each night of your stay. The mobile you stayed in has everything you needed netflix, WiFi and heaters. I also asked that you keep it clean and tidy during your stay. It is not a hotel.

The animals are amazing. The work is physically demanding but doable, and the hours are always respected. On my days off Adel has always accompanied me and picked me up at the bus stop. I'm vegetarian and Adel has always been available to cook me a delicious dinner. If you go in the colder months, however, bring warm clothing and keep in mind that the mobile you'll be staying in can be very damp and cold even though there two heaters. In conclusion Adel has been kind with me, always making sure I was okay. If you love working outdoors and being around animals, this is perfect for you. Thanks.
