Carmen and Aurora were a joy to work with. Always upbeat and smiling with a passion for nature and a brilliant work ethics. They handled all tasks with equal enthusiasm, daunted by none. Both highly educated we had great conversations sharing a love for film and the arts. Carmen and Aurora won't let you down. They bring the Spanish sunshine

We stayed with Clive for almost a month.
He is one of the most down to Earth and kindly-hearted person we've ever met.
He was always making sure we were okay and ready to help us with anything.
One of the things we are really grateful for was the fact that he gave us a lift whenever we needed.
We stayed in the camper van, that even though it was

The work we were told to do was easy but is was still physical work. It was mostly weeding and making sure that the trees that were planted there were able to grow.
Another thing about the job is that Clive is quite flexible work-wise, we could decide when to work and plan our week as we wanted to as long as we worked the hours required.
The views from the farm were just breath-taking, since it is located up in a hill, you can even see the sea while you work.
We would come back to work at Clive's in a heartbeat. <3
Sara stayed and worked here in the Grove for over a month. She was first of all enthusiastic and no job was too challenging. She has a great work ethic and lights the room with her laughter and great sense of humour. No matter the weather, Sara is right there ready to help out. Great communication skills plus you don't need to explain twice. She's

I have spent three weeks in Clive's house and I highly recommend it. I have lived in the silver streak, which has allowed me to have a space and time for myself. The beach is very close, and the forest too. In addition, having the town 10 minutes away allows you to take buses very easily if you want to enjoy visiting Ireland. Clive is very nice

Thanks again for hosting me and making your house my home. I hope to come back one day :)

We had such a glorious time at Clive's. We wish we stayed longer! When we arrived we were welcomed onto the land by each person and animal who live upon it. Our accommodation was very cosy and it was great to have our own space. The amount of work time and relax time was ideal for what we needed. We really admire what Clive's doing on the farm,

Rather than just working for a boss, we connected with Clive and made a great new friend. He even allowed us to connect with other amazing people in the local area so we really felt welcomed and hope to return again some day. Plus there are some gorgeous beaches and woodlands nearby. We're so grateful to have spent time here and to have made new connections with the community and land in this special part of Ireland.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Charly is one of those special beings you only cross paths with (if you're lucky) once in a blue moon. What struck me initially was her calm,focused yet passionate approach to life. Also Charly is very hard working with a natural curiosity which meant I didn't have to explain anything twice. Her experience with animals and farming meant she was

My partner and I had the pleasure of working here recently and we had such a wonderful experience. Our tasks were varied and the work was enjoyable for us.
