This place is straight out of a fairy tale. Time flew by, and the whole experience was wonderful. Vince is incredibly warm and welcoming. He took the time to understand what I was looking for, shaping the experience around me instead of sticking to a fixed routine. The work is relaxed, creative and it's a great chance to learn new skills and challenge yourself in a calm and safe environment. The accommodation is enchanting and makes the stay even more special. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary: a place to learn, create, slow down and reconnect with yourself

My stay at Vince's the home exceeded all my expectations! I felt at home from the moment I crossed the threshold. I had a chance to learn new skills related to gardening and building — installing a window was definitely the highlight of the experience 😃 I found the workload absolutely fair. We worked hard, but we rested even harder :) Vince is one of a kind: respectful, kind and genuinely caring. If you're looking for a meaningful and life-changing experience while helping someone, aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, and are eager to learn practical new skills, Vince is the best choice!

Vince created an amazing experience for me! Our three weeks went by too fast. I learned a lot through detailed instructions when it came to the restoration but also through our meaningful conversations. The hours were absolutely fair and we had many lovely evenings with delicious meals. This experience was truly special!

My time with Vince went by too fast. We did hands on work such as reorganizing, making concrete, and plastering walls. It was enjoyable work. I then created a stone mosaic which was my favorite part. Vince took me around town to the historical areas. He also took me to Derry to explore which I loved. The only thing I would tell other volunteers is about the WiFi problem. If your a person like me, WiFi adds that extra layer of feeling safe. You have to go up to the tower to get reception. It's not a big deal but it is something to be aware about. Overall, I had a great time!

The days spent with Vincent flew by. We worked hard and almost built all the furniture for the home in 7 days, the rest of the days we relaxed and he took me with the car to discover the beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was superb and always a nice food. He was very patient with my English and he taught me a lot. Simply thank you.

Serena was a superb and talented worker. She is a very interesting person and great company. She was fully focussed on all tasks and her woodworking and decorating skills were tremendous. We achieved a great deal of the planned work in just seven days and it was a pleasure to have her stay. She is also a superb cook and made delicious meals. She will always be welcome back to our Irish home. She will be a great asset to any project that is fortunate enough to acquire her services. I enjoyed working with her immensely.
Serena also worked hard to improve her use and understanding of a wide range of English vocabulary.
I wish her all the best in her future travels and career.
Serena fully appreciated the amazing landscape and special places we visited.

Es un lugar mágico, que como voluntario puedes explorarte a ti mismo en un lugar aislado de las comunicaciones, puedes desconectarte de la cotidianidad y conectarte con la naturaleza, el mar, las cabras, el viento, las aves y los delfines. Pondrás a prueba tus habilidades artísticas, manuales, de construcción y de aceptar cambios en los cronogramas iniciales. Cuando llegues piensa en algo creativo qué dejar cómo huella de tu paso por este lugar. Vincent ofrece comida deliciosa, sus historias acompañarán las cenas. Muchas gracias Vincent por hacer de mi voluntariado algo especial.
