The experience was amazing! Sean is a really kind person and he listen to you about your interests and concerns. This experience is perfect if you want to improve your English and your skills on hostels. The place is nice and you gonna have time for disconnect and discover the island :)

The guest house is a beautiful place in a beautiful island! The meals and accommodation are great. Unfortunately, I didn't get along with the host. He asked me to leave on my first day because, according to him, the work couldn't be done with crutches, which I had because I'm healing from a foot injury. While I looked for another place, I did all the work needed with no problem 🤷‍♀️ I understand that I hadn't warned him, but that was only because I knew I'd be able to do the tasks, as I did. Besides the ableism, he was very respectful all the time and was friendly to the other volunteers.

It is my belief that a broken leg needs time to heal and regrettably, doing chores with us with a broken leg would not be the right medicine. Kind regards, Seán.

I had such a great time on this experience. Sean is knowledgeable, kind, and wants you to have the best time whilst on the island. He trust you and values your opinion and judgement in the work you do. The work is about 4-5 hours a day but Sean is flexible depending on your needs. The island itself is stunning and you really do need a month to explore it!

My experience at the guest house was great. Sean was always very generous and when I arrived he and the other volunteers held meetings to distribute the weekly work. My room was very comfortable and I felt at home. The job is easy to learn. I learned how to make Irish breakfast and saw beautiful places on the island. The nature here is fantastic. Some days we have more work than others. It largely depends on the number of guests. I just have to thank Sean for this experience. I would like to go back someday.

My time at the guest house was exceptional. I truly enjoyed every moment on Inis Mór. The tasks were completed easily, hours respected, and Sean is a great host! I absolutely recommend this experience.
