If you want an expert on everything then Jaroslaw is your man. He was only with us for a short time but managed to complete two DIY projects with our basic tools and mostly using materials as were available on site. One was making and hanging a new door on our boiler house, and he made it look very presentable. The other was making a strong roof

I highly recommend Daniela and Patrick—200%, six-star Workaway hosts. They hosted me for 9 days. They are wonderful, hospitable people living in a lovely house sorrounded by magnificent garden. Great Island is a historically interesting, picturesque, and attraction-filled area. Thank you for the time we spent together, interesting conversations,

Laura was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. She worked well at various gardening tasks and was always able to use her own initiative to complete them. We really appreciated her readiness to do what was needed without much instruction from us. She was also a great help in the kitchen with meal preparation and washing up. We very much

Daniela and Patrick were very welcoming and I had a great time with them. I really enjoyed working in their beautiful garden (I already miss the fresh vegetables and berries 😉).

Jazmin was with us for two weeks and was an absolute pleasure to have around. She happily fitted in with our lives and worked very capably at any task she was asked to do. She did a mix of painting and oiling garden furniture, painting kitchen tiles, cleaning, and gardening such as hedge cutting, pruning and weeding. Jazmin is a very easy going

Hi there!
I stayed with Daniela and Patrick for two weeks.
I would recommend this workaway 100%.
It's accurate to its profile, jobs were easy and simple, flexible working hours, I had my own room fully furnished and comfortable, healthy and adapted meals provided according to allergies (which I am deeply grateful for) and the most important

Thank you both for your hospitality, always making sure I had everything I needed and last and foremost sharing your time with me by showing me your store on Sundays or letting me be part of your weekly Irish dancing group.
Best wishes for both of you and I hope to see you anytime soon.

First of all, I have to say sorry for my very late feedback.
Patrick and Daniela welcomed me warmly. Both speak a very propper English and I could understand both very well. They were very attentive to my needs. They were fantastic hosts, they were very friendly, had good recommendations for the area. Daniela bakes delicious bread and Patrick is a

The location is very convenient, 5min to the supermarked, 10 min to thr next busstop, around 25min to the coast.
Patrick drove me to many very beautiful places in the area where I could do a bit of hiking.
The amount of work was very fair. I maily did painting jobs.
I enjoyed my time with Patrick and Daniela and would strongly recommend them as hosts!Left by host for Workawayer (Karin)
Karin was with us for 12 days. She was most helpful, considerate and polite, and a pleasure to have in our home. Karin was extremely professional at the house painting work that needed to be done, and proved very adaptable and interested in other tasks involving the garden and our small poultry unit. Overall, a pleasure to have you - thank you,

I spent three wonderful weeks in Patrick and Daniela's superb house and garden. They allowed me to choose my own routine for the work they needed. They cooked me wonderful lunches every day, which were very delicious and healthy (some ingredients even came from their garden). The discussions were very interesting, and they helped me improve my

The room and all the accommodations were very comfortable. I also learned a few things about gardening, which is always useful. I strongly recommend them for any workaway experience! Thank you, Patrick and Daniela!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Ferreol proved to be very pleasant, and a willing and hard worker. He took on heavy physical tasks in the garden cutting timber with a chainsaw, neatly cutting back very tall laurels, strimming and lawn mowing, and digging and constructing a couple of raised beds. He also made guttering for a shed just using available materials (and his own

He enjoyed having a routine siesta after lunch each day, before going back to do more work in the afternoon. Ferreol was very well mannnered and easy to have in the house. His English was good and we had no problem communicating with him.Come and help at my Irish countryside home and garden in Kilmeedy, Ireland
