Linda and Phillip are extremely nice, educated, and welcoming people :) I was very happy to meet them and their amazing pets! Dogs are friendly, cats get used to me quickly as well so taking care of them was full of fun and pleasure. Very comfortable house and beautiful area. Linda knows a lot of receipts and can teach you. I was happy to be

Ruth and Alba are such lovely girls. They were a pleasure to have in our home. Our animals loved them which was so important to us as we were able to go on holiday and know that our animals and our home would be well looked after.
They also tidied my polytunnel which was great as I can now plan ahead to next year.
They would be welcome back any

Linda and Philip were excellent hosts. They were always making sure that we had everything we needed. It was a relaxing stay and everyone was really friendly. Henry, Burtei and Molly are amazing dogs, we already miss them so much. Thank you for letting us staying with you. It was our first time doing this and we couldn’t be happier. It was really

We loved having Alex here as part of our family. She brought much fun and laughter into our home.
Our animals absolutely adored her! Nothing was ever too much trouble for Alex and we knew that she would care for our animals and our home as we would when we went on holiday - as she did:)
We look forward to welcoming Alex back for her holidays!

It was WONDERFUL :-)
Linda and Philip are excellent hosts and I felt as part of the family.
Both were very lovely , helpful and supportive and gave me lifts whenever I needed them.

If you love dogs they will give you all the love they have. I had a adorable time with them and I really miss the dogs and cats there - and of course Linda and Philip as well.
Thank you very much for everthing also helping me to improve my English , which was really great and teaching me so many things about gardening.
Happy to see you again and thank you for a wonderful time in your family.

What a nice experience we had in this little paradise!
Linda and Philip are great and always made sure that we felt like home. We spent a lovely month with them and we enjoyed a lot our conversations and our amazing trip to Dingle peninsula (even if the weather was quite crazy!). We also learnt interesting and useful information about organic
… read more gardening and about the beautiful country of Ireland. We are now in a road trip around Donegal thanks to their recommendations. :blush: Besides, they were very flexible and we could organise our time as we needed. We were really happy to help them in the garden and we hope that they will enjoy it this summer. We also loved to keep the house clean, to cook some vegan meals for all of us and mostly to take care of the nice dogs, cats and hens that live with them. Since the first day we left we were already missing this lovely family!
Linda and Philip, thank you for everything and thanks to your kind neighbours and colleagues. We hope to see you soon!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Mar and Paula were a pleasure to have in our home. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they spoiled our dogs and cats. They also cooked lovely meals for us and I have learned that smoked tofu is great in a vegan carbonara! They were great company and always in good humour.
Our garden is also looking great again:)

Alex and Bettina were wonderful workawayers! They looked after us and our animals:)
They did so much more than we asked of them. They kept our house clean and tidy, fed the dogs, cats and hens, (and more importantly to us they loved our animals and were so kind to them). They cooked for us and gave us back our much neglected garden. I can't praise

If you ever have the opportunity to spend some time with Linda, Philip and the family, we'll tell you one thing: don't miss it! We have no words (or enough stars) to express our gratitude for the experience we had during our stay. Since the first couple of days we've been there, we knew we'd want to stay longer. We felt like we were home. Taking
… read more care of the dogs (Henry, Burty and Molly), cats (Daisy, Ernie and Jet) and hens (Samuel and his protected ones) was a lovely task. While working at Linda's gardens and polytunnels, they were around all the time. We basically did a deep polytunnels cleaning, as well as weeding and tidying the gardens, alternating between being in and outside, according to the weather conditions, which were very rainy during the month we've been there (November/2018). We also did home cleaning and tried to keep the house tidy. Betina loved the opportunity of cooking dinners and the freedom Linda gave her in the kitchen. We took care of the house for a couple of days, while they were away and we had everything we needed during this period and during all our stay. The bedroom is lovely and Linda was always making sure we had everything we needed. We had the freedom to do our own work schedule and worked on our own most of the time, just following Linda's instructions. We learned a lot about organic farming and really had classes about plants, as Linda is very experienced on the subject. Philip offered us lifts to Cork whenever we wanted and they showed us around and gave hints about attractions we could visit either using their bikes or even going by foot, as they're not far (Mount Musheramore, for example). One last warning: if you go there, be prepared, because leaving won't be easy; you'll want to stay longer. :)
We'll certainly come back visiting you to make some more Tapioca Bread (Pão de Queijo = Cheese Bread)! We can't thank you enough!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
