Was absolutly lovely! All the place it's magic and you have a nice spots to discover walking or maybe the towns around. Triona and Dean basically let me feel like my family they was so warm and patience with me and my english. I really miss the Dean's dinners! Live and work with the dogs was all a experiencie because all of them have a big personalities, but they're really cute! And if you have a friendship with them it's more easy to work.The tasks are feeding the chickens and ducks cleaning the house and maybe and extra help with the home. Maybe with a parther is more easy I really enjoyed!

My stay with Triona and Dean was truly such a special experience for me❤️ From the very first day they made me feel welcome and comfortable like I was at home. They are honestly kind, understanding and warm - I already miss you guys a lot! I was helping with the dogs (loooooots of dogs. make sure you love dogs before you decide to come), feeding the ducks and chickens, and cleaning the house - pretty repetitive, but I enjoyed the tasks and had plenty of free time every day to explore the area (which is incredibly beautiful!!!!) or just chill with the dogs.
Overall 100/10, I would come again❤️

I lived with Triona, Dean and the dogs for 7 weeks. For me the most important thing about this experience it's the dogs. I fell in love with all of them (except F. haha) and I appreciate everything that Triona taught us about her job and the dóberman breed. About the work, we had to clean and take care of the dogs when T & D are not in the house. You have to be patient with the dogs and really get to know them to make your work easier. For me, it was a pleasure. I'll carry them forever in my heart. Also, Ventry It's AMAZING, the bedroom was really nice and it has a private bathroom. Thank u❤️

Words cannot express how meaningful this experience has been for my life. Surrounded by breathtaking nature and living this collaborative exchange brought a profound transformation—one I'll carry forever in my heart. Every moment reminded me how incredible it is to be alive. Being in this home with such a special family made perfect sense. Breathing cynology again and learning from Triona and Dean renewed my passion for dogs and the Doberman breed. Thank you for your care and patience. I leave Ireland filled with joy, gratitude, and hope to see you again soon!
