I shouldn't even tell everyone how great it is here...... so many people will want to go here that i won't be able to get in when I want to come back!!!! And I do want to go back!!!! Its wonderful to see people with such passion about their "way of life". Job just doesn't describe what they do...... its way more precious and important than that.… read more

He was my first host and this was my first time in an Irish family!
At first, I said, "I could stay for 1 or 2 months", and in the end I stayed longer than I thought at the beginning.

Gerard (the farmer) is a very friendly and very helpful person.
Whatever you have, he wants to help you!
