I would came back with pleasure :)

My time at the farm was truly special. From day one, the family made me feel welcome and at home. The work was fair and well organized. I was sore for the first few days but after that it was smooth sailing! We took amazing trips and explored places off the beaten path. I'm so grateful for the time and effort Katja and her family put into us volunteers. It was such a privilege to get to know the family and immerse myself in their day-to-day lives. Not only did I learn about farm life and riding Icelandic horses, but I also made lasting connections with the entire family. I'll be back!!

The farm Icelandics was my first volunteering experience, and it was a truly beautiful and valuable time. The family is so funny and welcoming, and they make you feel at home quickly. The work is well organised, with set tasks in the morning and evening and free afternoons. I loved all the animals, and the hacks and riding lessons on the Icelandic horses were so much fun. For non-smokers, it might be important to know that smoking is allowed inside the house and the car, although the windows are usually open. I learned a lot about Farm Life and would definitely recommend this experience :))

I had a great experience with the family! Everyone was very nice, welcoming and caring about the volunteers. The animals are lovely, and I really enjoyed taking care of them, mucking out the stables and feeding them. I also learned how to ride an Icelandic horse, which was amazing! Everything written on Katja's profile is true, so don't underestimate it! The outings were wonderful, with beautiful landscapes and fun activities. You can even spend a weekend in Galway, about 2 hours from the farm. I would definitely recommend this experience!

I had such an amazing time volunteering here. Everyone in the family is so incredibly welcoming and they put SO much effort into making sure we are having a good time. By the time we finished work each day they would be prepared to take us on a trip to explore the region, or we would go on a hack / have a riding lesson. We also had free time which I sometimes used to hang out with the animals, but I mostly spent my time in the house hanging out with the family because they are so fun! I really enjoyed the work, too :) I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Worldpackers.

I had an amazing time staying there. It was a great experience and I really enjoyed it. There was always something to do, whether it was spending time with the family, visiting beautiful places, watching TV shows together, having good laughs. I honestly never had time to be bored. The work was fair and one of my favorite parts of the experience was spending time with the animals. They are all so sweet ! Going on hacks with the horses was amazing and definitely the favourite part of my stay. I recommend this volunteer experience. Thank you for having me !

I had an amazing time here! The farm is a great experience and there's heaps of sweet animals that you get to work with and take care of. You can never get bored here. The work was fair and not too difficult.
The family is great and love being around them, truly felt welcomed and at home. You share amazing meals while watching tv shows. They are so easy to get along with, and you are always having a laugh with someone. You also get to go out see lots of the cool places to visit in Ireland, as well as even learning how to ride their Icelandic's.
I really recommend this volunteer experience!

I had a very lovely stay here, i was greeted by their sweet animals and during my stay it was clear how much love and attention the family puts into looking after them.
The family took us on trips and we shared lots of laugh's together. The host also made delicious meals and I will especially miss sitting around the kitchen table, drinking tea, chatting and enjoying homemade bakes. I also had the opportunity to learn how to ride Icelandic horses, as the host's daughter is a fantastic and patient teacher. The work was difficult at times, but overall a very welcoming and memorable experience.

I had a great time at the farm! The family was very welcoming and there was never a boring moment in the house! The animals were so sweet and I loved cuddling them! I had the chance to learn how to ride Icelandic horses and going on hacks together was so much fun! They really put a lot of effort in showing us the most beautiful places and I got to see so much in one month! The work was hard at first, but it got better the longer I did it. The communication was very direct and I had to get used to it. Katja always made sure that everything is okay and that we have a good time!

I had a great experience at the farm! The family was nice and they made me feel welcomed. They took us on many trips to such beautiful places and dropped us off to places that we wanted to visit for a day. They gave us riding lessons and took us for hacks, it was amazing! I also loved having delicious dinners in front of the TV and going for walks. The animals were kind and so cute, and they loved cuddles! Communications was direct and the work felt a bit hard at first, but I got used to it after a few days. I would recommend this experience to people that love animals and being outside.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
