Marnie stayed with us in the middle of November and overall was a good help to us in that time, including looking after the house and animals well while we were away and worked hard at helping to dig out foundations for a chicken enclosure!

Edel and Luke were very kind hosts. I stayed with them for 12 days and I had a lovely time exploring cold Donegal. Instructions were always very clear and I felt like a valuable part of the house.

It was with Gloria that we realised that having workawayers choosing their own food is a better option and also how to make the days and expectations more structured, and how important clear communication is. Thank you Gloria for being a wonderful help for us in that first month and having great chats together, all the very best!

You will have one of the most unforgettable experience in your life if you are open to learn about them and yourself. They are inspiring!

I stayed at Edel and Luke's for two weeks in October 2024 and I happily remember that time.
During the first week, I took care of the house and the animals while Edel and Luke were on holiday. They provided me with clear instructions about the tasks, which included painting doors and cleaning the house, as well as the daily chores, which involved

Even though Luke and Edel were not physically present at the house, I never felt left alone since I could either watch the explanatory videos they had created or send them a message, which they quickly replied to.
After they returned, I enjoyed getting to know them even more. They are a very kind and warm-hearted couple and always asked if I needed anything. Both are very knowledgeable about the region, with its stunning nature and interesting history. The insightful conversations, the delicious meals and the films we watched together in front of a cosy fire made me feel like being at home.
If you're looking for a place with amazing hospitality, lovely people and animals and where a mountain meets the coastline, this is the place to go. It was an amazing and unforgettable Workaway experience. Thank you for everything, Edel and Luke. I wish you all the best for the future.Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Dominik)
Dominik was an absolute delight to have, both as a workawayer and as someone to have staying in our home!

Furthermore, Edel and Luke were very attentive, they answered all of my questions and I felt very secure the whole experience.

Towards the end of my stay, I housesat for a few days, as they were in Dublin for the weekend. Edel and Luke are great about communicating expectations and they made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed throughout my time there.
They live in a quiet and remote area, so I would say it’s easier to explore it if you have your own car. However, you can also get around by walking, buses, and taxis, and even hitchhiking! People are very friendly in Gortahork – on a couple occasions, somebody offered me a ride as I was walking into town. Also, Edel and Luke gave me rides, and I got to explore the beach, Ards forest park, and other beautiful areas. I even got to go to a trad session in the Shamrock pub, which was so much fun. The two Sundays I was there, I went to church at Holy Trinity in Dunfanaghy, and everyone there was very welcoming.
Again, I cannot recommend Luke and Edel highly enough. They are wonderful people and great Workaway hosts. Here’s to our next game of Hobbit Monopoly!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Romane )
Ah dear little Romane, we had a great workaway experience with her! She greeted us with a hug as natural as though we had known eachother for years, and we clicked straight away. During our month with Romane her communication was excellent and also her english was fluent. She had a fantastic attitude and nothing was any trouble, always merry and
… read more upbeat. The work was done to a good standard and she was great with the animals. Also, very brave at trying new things and it was nice that our friends (who are neighbours of ours and) that do workaway also had a female workawayer so they spent some time together, fond memories particularly of us all dressing up as The Sopranos for Halloween! I would have no hesitation for recommending Romane for any workaway placement and beyond.

I spent a month with Edell and Luke. It was my first workaway experience, so I was a little apprehensive. But Luke and Edell were lovely to me, they put me at ease straight away. We were able to discuss a lot, on all subjects! They did everything to ensure that we understood each other well. I really enjoyed talking with them.
Their three cats
… read more were adorable (and the chickens too haha).
I had a budget each week to buy what I wanted to eat.
Some of the work around the house and outside was varied, I helped install seaweed for their plants in their garden, I put together some furniture, I also learned how to make toothpaste!
Other work had to be done regularly: feeding the cats and hens, cleaning the house once a week, taking out the trash, etc.
But I always had plenty of free time! Thanks to this, I was able to take the opportunity to go for walks near their home, and see magnificent rural landscapes. I also did lots of other things:
Luke and Edell took me to many places, to see the area and the culture. I loved it. Donegal is truly a magnificent region.
I was able to climb the highest peak of Donnegal, the Mount Errigal. I also went to see several traditional Irish music concerts, go to an Irish dance session (not easy at all haha), go to the pub to watch rugby, ( Luke is a big fan!), swimming in the ocean (it was easy for them, not for me haha) and we even dressed up together with friends for a costume party, where we had a lot of fun!
That was truly a great experience!
Thank you for everything Edell and Luke, I hope to see you soon in Brittany <3Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

We stayed 1 week in this beautiful place. We were alone the most of the time because Luc and Edel were in travel.
We have to take care of the cats and the hens. It was not really difficult ! Especially because Edel and Luc gave us all the informations we needed (even more haha).
They are lovely persons and really respectful. We had a great room
