Eoin is a wonderful host who is always looking out & taking care of his volunteers. The work is good and you’re well connected to Dublin City Centre. Volunteers have their own space and privacy is well respected.

I had a great stay and would definitely recommend it, especially for a first volunteering experience!
Dublin is about 1.5 hours away by bus. Eóin and his family are very welcoming and made me feel comfortable very quickly. They are very patient, even with beginner-level English. The work and hours are very reasonable and leave plenty of time to explore the area.
I also made great connections with the other volunteers. Eóin always makes sure we have enough food and that we eat things we enjoy.
Thank you so much, I have very good memories of my stay! ❤️

Our volunteering experience in Ireland was truly amazing! We had the opportunity to meet new people, experience a different culture, and at the same time contribute to the project through our work.
It was a time full of learning, meaningful exchanges, and unforgettable moments that we will carry with us forever. We are very grateful for the opportunity, the warm welcome, and everything we experienced during our stay.

My first volunteering experience couldn't have been better! Eoin, Marthina, and their children are incredibly kind and welcoming. Their beautiful home is surrounded by nature and just a 25-minute walk from the village with shops and buses to Dublin and the airport. The work is simple (cleaning and gardening), and thanks to Eoin I really improved my English. I planned to stay for one month but loved it so much that I extended my stay by two more weeks. I can't recommend this place enough! 💖

This was my very first time volunteering through Worldpackers, and I couldn't have asked for a better start. Eoin and Marthena were incredibly attentive the whole time – always kind, helpful, and welcoming. The place itself is lovely, perfect for resting and disconnecting, surrounded by green and nature. The tasks were easy and straightforward, and they were very flexible with the days and hours. If you're looking for a calm, nature-filled spot with wonderful hosts, this is it. Thank you for everything!

I had a great experience volunteering here! I worked in the garden and really enjoyed the autonomy. Martina was always available and gave very clear instructions. I also really appreciated her kindness when the weather was very bad, as she always found some indoor tasks for me to do to stay dry. Eoin is very helpful and knows how to adapt to everyone. We never lacked for anything! The village is about a 30 minute walk away, but from there it's very easy to go to Dublin and explore during the weekends. A lovely experience, thank you so much!!

I really enjoyed my volunteering experience at Eóin and Marthina's home. Everything happened exactly as agreed, with no stress or surprises. The organization was clear and everything was fulfilled from the beginning. The house is very beautiful, the tasks are easygoing, and it's possible to do them at your own pace, especially if you don't yet know how to do something. I would definitely come back! A big hug to this family, who are undoubtedly very well prepared to host people. Gratitude. Kind regards, Andreia

I spent a month in Dunshauglin, and this was my first experience with Worldpackers, which I shared with my cousin. Eoin's family was always very welcoming and helpful, and they consistently respected the agreed work schedule. Since we had the weekends free and it was very easy to get to Dublin, we were able to explore a bit of Ireland as well.

I really enjoyed my experience the farm, close to Dublin. The work is very relaxed, usually from 8am to 2pm, helping with house cleaning and small tasks. I also helped clean a beautiful Airbnb on the farm and load hay to feed the cows. Volunteers stay in a separate house next to the host's house, which gives a lot of privacy. We cook our own food and the host does a weekly grocery shop with everything we need. On weekends it's easy to go to Dublin. The only downside is the distance to the village (almost 2 km), along a dark road without a sidewalk.

The family is very kind. The housekeeper volunteer duties are simple, and you have the afternoons free. It's ideal if you enjoy connecting with nature and disconnecting from everything. They were my first introduction to Irish culture, and I'm very grateful for their hospitality ☺️

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 :)
