I have had direct contact with the family (parents and four children) and everyone is very kind and clear about the activities to be carried out. The house is big and the family is organised. I felt at ease and comfortable with their patience in communicating with me, so I learnt more of the language. The volunteers' flat is cosy, organised and allows interaction between different nationalities, so my experience the farmcouldn't have been better.

I had an incredible experience!🧡 I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful family & highly recommend this to anyone who wants to connect with nature and enjoy a peaceful, welcoming environment. We, as volunteers, stay in a cozy shared house, which is a fantastic way to meet people from around the world and practice your English!!

What a beautiful experience! It was a real pleasure to meet Eoin and his family. I recommend this experience if you want to be in contact with nature and enjoying in a relax atmosphere. You also have the possibility to do different types of schedule and this is cool. We as a volunteers share our own little house, so there is the opportunity to meet people and practicing your English (if this is one of your goals). the farmis a small town, but you have a good public transport to get to Dublin, maybe there is just one “inconvenience”, you need to walk 10 minutes by road to get to town.
