The host was a great place for me to start worldpacking in Ireland, I stayed almost two months but it felt much shorter. Henrietta and David made sure I tried différent tasks so I wouldnt get bordel and I had plenty of free time the evenings and weekends. Wé also played games every night and thanks to many conversations I really feel liké my English had improved. All the employées are really Nice too and were always happy to help whenever I had à question. The place is beautiful and I would récomend to anyone :)

My stay was difficult due to several critical issues. The location is extremely isolated with no public transport; you are entirely dependent on the host for mobility, which severely limits your freedom.
The workload is physically demanding, yet the food provided is very basic and insufficient for the level of effort required. Furthermore, the environment was not always respectful; I experienced harsh communication and shouting over simple misunderstandings. Despite my best efforts to contribute, I did not feel supported.

We do make it clear on our profile that we do not have local public transport. We are happy to take volunteers to a bus on days off. Yesenia went out on 2 days during the time she was here and spent the other 2 resting. Our food always gets high praise from volunteers (we have had over 180 in 10 years) and no one has ever criticised it! The only time I raised my voice was when she was late for the lift to the bus and I’d to call upstairs. She didn’t communicate well generally.

I had an amazing experience with Hen and David! They're both fantastic cooks and super easy to get along with. We had a lot of fun playing board games at night, always full of laughs! The place is lovely and has such a peaceful, relaxing vibe that you won't miss a crowded and noisy city for a second, even though it's still close by. Overall, a great environment to be in. Thanks again for everything, Hen and David❤️❤️!

The host was marvellous! I had a great time with the pets and the hosts, the work is light and the accommodations are pretty comfortable, it was wonderful to share good moments playing board games with David and Henrietta. My best regards!

The host is a great, cozy, and bright house surrounded by nature. Hen & David are interesting and strong hosts who work alongside volunteers in varied but sometimes energy-demanding tasks (wood, planting, garden). I recommend for future WPs: 1. Before arrival, confirm the included meals, specifically for days off. 2. During your stay, ensure clear communication regarding working hours / expectations to prevent misunderstandings. I enjoyed board games after dinner, sunny terrace lunches, and sharing with lovely people 🥰 (Mike, Will, Meg, Edie) and joyful volunteers 169, 171, 172 Thank you!!

The host was a fantastic experience thanks to the family and their staff David is friendly, attentive and always very calm. Henrietta is excellent in the kitchen, smart and has a strong character that can sometimes seem rude, I just advise you to clarify any doubts to avoid misunderstandings Both are very energetic and always ready to spend a good afternoon playing board games And don't worry about the monotony of the job, there is always something different and fun to do every day, an ideal place to improve your English, everyone is willing to help if you prefer. Thanks to everyone by name
