This was my first volunteer experience, and it was truly amazing! Leon and Gill are incredibly welcoming, generous hosts with so many wonderful stories to share. The surrounding nature is surreal, with plenty of time to explore, especially toward the end of the season. The work is straightforward and manageable. Their generosity made the stay even better, taking us to local restaurants and cafés. They provided a very generous weekly food stipend. There is also a bus stop just a 4-minute walk from the B&B!

I had an amazing time at the guest house with Leon, Gill and the other volunteers. From the moment Leon and Gill picked me up from the bus stop, I felt comfortable in their company. I am also from South Africa, so I enjoyed feeling reconnected with my people after travelling for a while. The actual work at the BnB was very easy, as the busy season was slowly coming to an end. Gill and Leon made sure to take us to all the local spots and we went on many outings. County Donegal is an incredibly beautiful part of the world, and I felt very grateful to have spent a month there. I will definitely be back!

At the guest house I had a great time with Leon, Gillian and the other volunteers. In the evenings we often played games together which was so much fun. The workload was not much at all and after the work was done we had a lot of free time to go out and explore the nature and cities around us.
Everybody had a free day per week as agreed upon beforehand and it was up to the volunteers to decide when each of us takes their free day, sometimes we took one together when there was even less work to do.
Every wednesday we went shopping for food together and I found the 70€ per week for food very generous.

A lovely time I had a lovely experience at the guest house and in County Donegal. The area is fascinating with beautiful nature and welcoming people, and the B&B is a cozy place. Leon and Gillian are friendly hosts, and the other volunteers were the best company I could've asked for. Leon and Gill will tell you a lot of stories about their life, which is not quite the usual small talk, but definitely worth listening to. Of course you can't say that there weren't any conflicts, but whenever something came up, it was always talked about and resolved. Thank you for the opportunity to explore Ireland!

I had an amazing month at the guest house with Leon and Gillion. They were great hosts and put lots of effort in to ensure that volunteers had a good stay. Being in the guest house was a fun environment and the work was fine, never more than four hours a day as advertised. The setting is wonderful, very peaceful and lots of nature to explore. The other volunteers were also all lovely to so that made it even better.

This place is simply mind blowing. I have spent an amazing month in the guest house. The hosts are the most welcoming and kind people and I could only say positive things about them! You should definitely come here and you will not be disappointed. The work is not hard and you still get time to explore ! I will definitely be coming back to show my friends and family. Thank you so much again Lean and Gillian for the all the kindness you gave me :)

I had a good time on the guest house B&B during my stay. The hosts always helped with the work. The scenario around is very pretty and the workload is fair. The hosts took us for trips around which was very fun. I'd recommend it if you like hiking and nature, but there's a bus stop nearby. Thanks for the opportunity.

This was my first experience as a volunteer and I couldn't have picked a better place! The work is not hard. In the morning we did the rooms and in the afternoon we did some ironing. For the rest of the day, we explored the area. The bus stop is very near the guest house, so we could explore even more! The hosts are very generous people. On a day with good weather, they even took us kayaking in the ocean. If you want to reconnect with yourself, want to make new friends and spend some time in nature, this place is just for you!

My daily tasks included cleaning the guest rooms, making the beds, cleaning the bathrooms, washing, folding and ironing the sheets, as well as cleaning the communal kitchen. Once a week the hosts will give you 70 Euros for shopping and drive you to the nearest town, which I found very generous. On a sunny day, leon and gillian took us to the coast for kayaking and visiting the secret waterfall which was so kind of them. I enjoyed my stay at the guest house B&B very much and if you are into hiking along rocky coasts, remote living and making new friends for life I highly recommend this experience 💜

Thanks for the kind words Katy, it was OUR pleasure to have you visit us! Leon and Gillian

I've been truly relaxed in the guest house, the landascape is unique, there are expanses of green lawns interrupted by the immensity of the ocean, which is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The owners help you feel like you are at home, and work isn't hard. I had the opportunity to explore the landscape because there is a bus station very close to the hotel that takes you to Donegal town, and because Lion e Gillien offered to give me a lift to the main points of interest in the area many times.
