Standing on 12 acres of mature forest, we are a 200 old home undergoing considerable change at the moment as we develop our family home into more than somewhere 'old and cold'. We are looking for people to help develop our garden and help with construction work. Additionally, we welcome those who can assist with housekeeping and maintenance of the house consistently. In exchange, we can offer you the use of the land to enjoy and a chance to stay.

The experience started off well — Hever was kind, respectful and always provided plenty of food, taking our preferences into account. However, things changed when Owen arrived. He made us feel uncomfortable, restricted our access to parts of the house, and avoided all communication. There was no real cultural exchange, and the promised activities only happened twice in over a month. Overall, we didn't feel welcome and wouldn't recommend the experience while Owen is involved.

I'm disappointed to hear this, even after our extensive discussions and all regarding my brother and the volunteer offering. I sincerely tried my best within my means, and yes, there were significant personality clashes though this review is unfair in my opinion. This review does not reflect what all volunteers have experienced or ever will. The lack of a separate kitchen and living space made cohabitation challenging at times. Anyone interested is welcome to discuss with me.

Our experience started well with Heber, who was kind, respectful, and clear about our tasks. We cared for his mother with Alzheimer's for two full weekends, demanding and not in the original agreement, but we accepted it with empathy. Sadly, everything changed when his brother Eoin arrived. He avoided all communication, gave indirect orders, treated us like employees, and made disrespectful comments about us. The environment became tense and unwelcoming. We're thankful to Heber, but can't recommend this experience under these conditions.

If you are looking for a quiet retreat into the Irish countryside, this place will definitely tick that box. The home is quite welcoming. There are plenty of jobs to do - you will be always be busy! The only thing is that it can sometimes be difficult to travel into Sligo.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the home. Heber and Eion were great hosts and allowed us the freedom to perform duties that matched our talents and abilities. The Irish culture is delightful and we are grateful that we were able to participate in Worldpackers. Thank you!

Exactly as expected and discussed beforehand. This is a beautiful property! There seems to be something for everyone's skill set, from construction, welding, gardening, yard work, painting and sealing - I even cut wood! Heber and Eoin are excellent hosts. They were very attentive to our needs and always responded quickly to questions. They were able to find gratifying work for us that matched our skill sets. They were also a great source for what to do and see in the area. With many trips to the local village for hardware, shopping, and pub life, we felt we became part of this small community!
