I stayed for two and a half months with the Murphys and I am very glad that I could spend so much time in this amazing family. I knew that they have had many workawayers so I didn't expect to be someone special to them. But they cared so much about me, helped me with all the unpredictable incidents that came from the Coronavirus and let me take… read more

Lena was a pleasure to have in our home and was so great with our young family. She was very helpful, kind and not afraid to take on any task. I would heartily recommend Lena as a future volunteer or employee.

I enjoyed some wonderful weeks at this family. I felt welcome from the very first moment and felt like home the whole time. The family is lovely and everybody is very helpful. The work was very light and fun, especially with the kids e.g. doing their homework with them or just play together. There was plenty of time to explore the area or to just… read more

Enya was a warm gentle presence in our home while living with us , who made a huge effort to be part of all aspects of family life . No task was too big and she was very generous and understanding of the children . I would love to recommend her to any future host without hesitation. Best of luck for the future Enya.

Marie and Patrick recommended the best places to visit and always gave me a lift when I wished to go somewhere. The kids do a lot of different… read more

Mathilde and Benjamin were simply a little piece of France in our home for three weeks. They shared so much of their culture and experiences with us. They were model guests in our home and relished every task that we asked them to do. I cannot recommend them enough to future hosts. Looking forward to meeting in France in April. Thank you for… read more

Patrick and Marie explain the work clearly (clean the house, keep the garden tidy, help the children for the homeworks, ...). The work was not so hard and we had lot of time to enjoy and discover the west Cork ! Marie gave us some advices about that ;)

We both wished we could have stayed longer then the 6 weeks that we did stay. It was absolutely amazing to be able to work and live with such an inspiring family. Right away we felt welcomed and were also able to see much of the surrounding area. We helped keep the place clean, while preparing for bnb guests, and varnishing doors. There was also… read more

We stayed with Marie, Patrick and the kids for two weeks and it was absolutely wonderful! From minute one they included us and made us part of their lovely family. We shared meals, played with the kids and Marie and Patrick would ALWAYS (like really, ALWAYS) offer us a ride to whereever there was something interesting to do or to see. There are no… read more

We stayed with Marie, Patrick and the children for six wonderful weeks and it couldn’t have been better! We felt welcome from the moment Marie picked us up and were included into the family.
