Our time here was wonderful, we learned so much and we felt really welcome. We worked 5 hours a day 5 days per week. Breege is a lovely host, always making sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The volunteers stay in a fully equipped house separate from the owners . The house is located in a small town, which has a couple of pubs and a small market ,although you probably won't need to go to the market as Breege gets all the food for you. Great place to get away from the big cities and have a calm time, as the landscape is the farm. Overall lovely experience👍

Hi Agustin,
Thank you so much for your lovely words.
Agustin and his friend Matias were 2 of the nicest people we have had here, so pleasant and helpful, very friendly and so obliging to all tasks. Super quick learning also. We miss them already :-)

Best of Luck on your travels both of you, we hope you'll come back to visit us again some day!
