My partner & I have really enjoyed our time at the home! The hosts are kind, they communicate their expectations clearly, and will go out of their way to help you. There are a lot of different jobs happening every day here. We were mostly gardening & housekeeping. The hosts were always able to supply us with safety gear for our jobs. We loved that this experience has lots of animals around! Dogs, donkeys, and lots of birds and hedgehogs wandering through. We would recommend the home to anyone who wants to work whilst experiencing real Irish hospitality, see the countryside :)

I had a great time at the home! Martin and Shirley are great hosts and they welcomed me and treated me well from the first moment. I was always well looked after and the property is in a very peaceful area with donkeys and lovely dogs. The site is not too far from towns and the hosts are always willing to help you and make sure you are well situated and comfortable. The accommodation is very comfortable and I was always treated like family. I'd recommend this experience to anyone who wants to develop skills, get to know Ireland's Midlands and have a great time with a fantastic family

Hi Clayton. We have been delighted to have you here with us at the barn lodge . We would highly recommend Clayton for any project . He is hard working and very kind and considerate. A true gentleman and now thankfully our friend and family. Thank you for everything. We were unable to leave a review because of a technical issue with the world packers website. We hope they will resolve this issue and we will give Clayton 5 stars 🌟 🌟 ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟

Martin and Shirley were amazing hosts and they have a great property in a beautiful place. They were very understanding with my requests about schedules as well. Would recommend for someone who wants to meet great locals and have a true getaway.
