The guest house was the best place for my first volunteer experience. It was so fun to learn Irish dancing and go to trad gigs in Galway and Annie and Pete and their sons Gus and Theo were so lovely and welcoming and made us feel at home. The community at the guest house was so wonderful and the other volunteers were wonderful. The work wasn't too hard and there was always someone around to offer advice or help if we needed it. The hours were flexible as well which was super helpful.

I had an absolute blast at the guest house. The work was flexible, straightforward and always shown in a way that helped me to learn, there was always another challenge. Annie, Pete, her two sons Theo and Gus and all other residents and volunteers at the guest house were the most friendly, inclusive and welcoming people allowing me to get involved in Irish trad music, dancing and culture. This may have been my first volunteer experience but I'm not sure I'll be able to top it anytime soon.

My experience at the guest house was absolutely amazing. Annie, Pete, and the whole the guest house gang are incredibly welcoming to all who come through the doors. The work is simple and varied so you won't get bored. The house is full of music and dancing (and soup!). If you are going during the winter, take an extra pair of socks and get a taste for tea.

This was one of the most enriching cultural experiences I've ever had! At the guest house, I was welcomed like family, with work hours respected and a flexible, understanding environment. Visitors should bring warm clothes in winter and clothes that can handle dirt or paint, as tasks often involve renovation, repairs, or gardening. I immersed myself in Irish culture, learning traditional dance and music, and enjoyed the stunning nearby lake and nature walks. I'm so grateful for this incredible opportunity—it's an experience I'll always cherish!

At the guest house, you will meet lots of amazing people from all over the world to go on excursions and to Lake Mask with, and the hosts are so friendly, I really loved the community here. Gusz took us to Clifden and Annie gave us a ride to Croagh Patrick! Working hours were respected, it was mostly painting, and I got to learn a new skill in how to cut and grout tiles, too :-) There is lots of music and Irish dancing :) The house is currently being renovated and thus a bit cold and dusty even in summer, so I'd recommend you bring sturdy work boots, and a thick pullover or two:) All the best to Juno
