I stayed (with my girlfriend) at the hostel for 10 days and it was a nice time. We did the daily cleaning and room preparation, plus assisting with check ins when required. the place isn't too big so this work goes fairly quickly. The hostel was not too social, with the common area not too large for hanging out. But we did meet some nice guests to… read more

We stayed with Natsir's family for 2.5 weeks in September 2023. It was a rewarding experience teaching the local kids english, as well as assisting Natsir with his beautiful garden. The work involved teaching the kids Monday/Wednesday/Friday for two hours, and other times we assisted Natsir in the garden with whatever project was going on. Natsir… read more

I stayed at Kate's for 11 nights and had a nice time. I was helping paint the hallway door frames as well as some de-weeding and rubbish removal from out front. Not bad work.

Kate was a lovely host and the flat is very comfortable. Not too far walk to down town but the bus is super close and easy too.

Got to see a bit of Edinburgh and out… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Andrew)

Andrew was with us for over two weeks and got stuck in helping us right away. There was a lot of outdoor physical work and he took it up with no complaints except for the time I made him squash his size 11 feet in size 7 wellie boots! :) my mistake! Once he had the right size he was flying! Considering this was a new experience for him, working in… read more

Left by Workawayer (Andrew) for host (Dairy sheep farming, cheese ...)

I stayed with Vinnie and Chelsea for just over two weeks and had a lovely time. I helped with the transition to Vinnie's new farm, so we were moving things, taking apart pens, preparing the area at the new farm, checking on the sheep, giving them their injections and feeding them. It was winter so no cheese making, however I tried some of the… read more

I only had a short stay with this lovely family but enjoyed my time there! Two energetic and fun boys to keep me busy in the afternoon/evening.
I would look after them, play soccer/lego, help with homework and also did just a little cleaning.
The house is very nice and bedroom comfortable.
I recommend coming here :)

I stayed here for six weeks (extended my stay by two weeks as I was having a lovely time!) and would recommend it for anyone travelling in Ireland.

Alice and Pat treated me and the other workers very well. We would do hostel work (cleaning, making beds, checking in etc.), maintenance, gardening etc.

I got to see all over the island (which is… read more

Left by host (Help out around a small hobby ...) for Workawayer (Andrew)

Andrew was very polite and quiet. But he was also interesting to talk to with his many adventures that he's had so far. He kept his room clean and he was a hard worker. He split wood for us and took apart the inside of our barn plus a other jobs here and there. He wasn't here very long, we wish he could have stayed longer. Whatever job we gave… read more

Left by Workawayer (Andrew) for host (Help out around a small hobby ...)

I stayed with Dave and Lisa for just 5 nights but had a lovely time. They treated me very well and took me to interesting places around the local area.

For work, I did a bit of wood splitting (until the machine broke!). They had just sold their goats so I was responsible for taking apart their pens, and cleaning it out. I also did a bit of… read more

I stayed with Annie and Sylvain from October 2015-April 2016. I enjoyed my time there and their property is beautiful! I did lots of different work from moving firewood from the forest, helping out with renovations, working at their hotel. Over the winter I looked after the property while they were away most of the time which I also… read more

We really enjoyed having Andrew as helper for one week.
We were most grateful for his help, a great job of cleaning all our house inside and outside, moving furniture and more.
We had some great discussions and had some good laughs together.

We recommend Andrew as a nice person and we wish him "happy travels"

I stayed a week with Johanne, after spending about 6months living downtwon Montreal.
I had a very nice time during my week, in the nice and quiet area where Johanne lives. I did work in the garden as well as household work. I was given a list of things to do which would help out Johanne, which as other reviews have said, help her out given her… read more
