The Experience

I am looking for help in my five-bedroom BnB which is in the third generation of my family and was originally built by my grandfather. I require help cleaning rooms with laundry, ironing, checking in guests, and help all round the house. Accommodation is a mixture of private and dorm where you will share with just one other person. You will be given three meals a day and have two days a week off. You will also have the use of my mountain bike.

This was a great place to have my first Worldpackers experience. The B&B is located in a beautiful area in the countryside, and John is a very welcoming host, helping you get around and suggesting things for you to do. The work mostly consisted of cleaning and helping out serving breakfasts. I would definitely recommend this experience, especially if you are looking to see a quieter part of Ireland with beautiful scenery.

I recommend this place 100%! John really cared that I had everything I needed and that the experience was the best it could be. I felt at home there and all the places around are totally worth seeing!! The work is definitely not hard to learn and after some time you can enjoy doing it and helping. I had also a loot of free time after the work. All this place has really unique vibe and I would definitely like to come back one day! Thank you once again!

If you're after a warm, family vibe and want to dive into nature, I can't recommend this place enough! This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I loved every minute of it. Connemara's stunning views and peaceful beaches totally blew me away, but what made it truly special were the dinners with John—he told the best stories and gave us an authentic feel for Irish culture. I fell in love with both the place and the people!!

It was my first time as a volunteer. I'm so happy. it was amazing. Jhon is friendly, kind and he makes you feel at home. The work can be done without any problem: cleaning the rooms, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, mopping. Connemara is incredible.
