Excellent experience, both the host and the whole team and of course the rest of the volunteers are 10, the best thing without a doubt are the personal relationships and the bonds of friendship that are forged. If you have an intermediate level of English it is ideal because the people are super friendly and you will be able to improve a lot in the language although the Irish accent is somewhat difficult. Newport is a small, pretty and quiet town with beautiful surroundings. The work is very varied, I had to work hard on the renovations of the guest house but it was gratifying to feel useful.

I really enjoyed the experience and recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Ireland through the eyes of the Irish. The people there are friendly so you'll feel welcome, even if your English isn't great.

I had an amazing time in Newport! From the team to the locals, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. The work, mainly at the pub, was very diverse, and where possible, shift preferences were respected, allowing me to fill my time with plenty of explorations. It's definitely advantageous to travel by car if possible, but many trips are also accessible by public transportation. If you're spontaneous and enjoy spending time in nature with exciting people, then this is the place to be!

My stay was good! The staff are really nice and kind. There's loads to do in the area by bus. The work is fair for the exchange and overtime sometimes happens but you are accommodated for it!! I recommend :))

An overall positive experience at the Bridge inn. Newport is a beautiful town and the locals are friendly and welcoming. Would have loved a bit more training at the beginning rather than being thrown straight in however this is a good challenge in being a fast learner. A good thing to note, if wanting to do extra travel on days off, the buses are reliable but only come a few times a day so careful planning is required I got stranded in the near by towns a few times! But overall was a great experience working with the staff and other volunteers from around the world!
