We had a wonderful week with Lottie, JP Ellen, and Barry. We really shared their daily lives and celebrated Easter with their family. All four of them are lovely and communicated with us a lot. The work was enjoyable, and they are very grateful for the help they provided. They really enjoyed all the meals I prepared for them. We had a beautiful

Cathy and Lilly stayed with us for a wonderful week. Cathy likes to keep busy and did lots in the house, cooking, painting and washing windows.
Lilly loves animals and enjoyed helping to feed the calves and ponies. Our children really enjoyed playing with her.
We would be glad to welcome them back anytime.

Julia stayed with us for five weeks. She fit in well with our lifestyle and came at just the right time as we were busy on the farm for the first few weeks of her stay and it was lovely to come home to a clean house and dinners.
Julia took part in all our family outings with enthusiasm and we would love to have her back any time.

I had an amazing experience staying with Ellen, Barry, JP and Lottie! The kids were adorable, and I felt right at home. The dogs were also really friendly and cute. The daily chores were simple and quick—mostly cleaning the floors, doing laundry, and cooking—which only took about two to three hours each day. I had plenty of free time, both on

Ellen and Barry took me on some great outings, showing me lots of hidden gems around Ireland during the week and every weekend. I would absolutely go back and highly recommend it to others! I hope I see you soon again and thank you for the wonderful five weeks :)!!

Sophie's stay was unfortunately cut short due to unforseen circumstances. But Sophie was a great addition to our home while she was here. She is a very calm and kind person. She was great with the children and helped around the house.
We were sorry she had to leave early as we were only beginning to get to know her and would love to welcome her

This was my first Workaway experience and I couldn't ask for better, I've been with them for 3 weeks : Ellen, Barry and JP are such a nice and friendly family, they made me feel part of it since the first moments. They live in a big and beautiful house in the countryside, and also my room was really nice. My works have been: painting fences,

I highly recommend this place, in particular to those who loves living in the nature, away from city traffic, and who likes dogs and animals in general. My staying with them was such a pleasure, I miss them and I hope to see them again one day.
Thanks for everything, AlessiaYou can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Ellen and Barry were such a pleasure to stay with. They were both very welcoming and made me feel a part of their lovely family. The work was light, any chores or housekeeping they needed, mostly involving things like cleaning floors. I would highly recommend doing workaway with them!
