My stay at the home was incredible! The whole family is so warm and welcoming and I felt at home immediately. Cooking for them was fun, and they provide you with everything you need. James and Carina are the most generous hosts and will take great care of you. Unfortunately my stay was cut short, but they were incredibly understanding and kind about my situation and helped me with everything they could. The girls are the sweetest and you will always have walking buddies to show you around the beautiful hills. I enjoyed every moment I had at the home and I hope to visit again!

I would highly recommend the home farm to any worldpacker out there looking for a fun experience and a chance to explore Ireland. The family are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet and so extremely welcoming! They were continuously constant and respectful with the working hours I never had any worry in that aspect. They were also extremely helpful in getting me around to adventure and see all the spots I wanted to see while I was there. And what a beautiful location if you also just need an escape from reality for a bit.

The home farm is an incredible experience. The family is just wonderful, good, solid, salt of the earth souls. James and Carina are the kindest people, with patience and love for people in abundance. I am humbled that I have been asked to extend my stay at the home farm. the home is a real home, in every sense of the word. May the kindness of these wonderful people return to them in countless ways.
