I had 2 lovely weeks in the Errigal hostel, I get a very warm welcome by Sally, Erin, Claudagh, Emer and the others volunteer! They explained very well the tasks, everyday you'll have a list of tasks to share between the volunteers. You have flexibility if you want to change your days off or if you need to adapt your planning. You'll have plenty tips about thinks to see and do around the area and about the local buses.
Everyone was very nice and smily, thanks very much! :D

I really recommend this volunteer exchange to everyone that wants a break from the city.
The tasks are easy and the working hours have always been respected as agreed in the application. Sometimes we also had the possibility to finish earlier.
The volunteers' rooms have everything that is needed, they are divided by gender and have a shared bathroom and shower.
The hostel also provides all the space for grocery with fridge and boxes for volunteers only.
The receptionists are very kind, they are always there for any problem and they always make sure that the volunteers are having a great time

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel. I wish I could've stayed longer. The staff and volunteers were absolutely lovely, welcoming and helpful. The location is truly beautiful, surrounded by incredible scenery and nature. Sally was very organized and clear about the tasks that needed to be completed, which made volunteering easy and enjoyable. Everyone worked well together and I really appreciated the friendly atmosphere. I'm so grateful for my time at the hostel and would happily recommend it to anything looking for a beautiful place to stay and meet great people.

I had an excellent experience at the hostel. Sally, Erin, and the entire staff are serious, professional, and competent, and they clearly explain the relevant activities and tasks. You know your volunteer schedule and can enjoy the scenery: the valley, the sea, and the mountains. If you are a serious, responsible, flexible, and friendly person, this place is for you.
