I spent three weeks in february/march with this beautiful family! What a great first Workaway experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt like part of the family.

I was completely immersed in Irish culture, in a beautiful countryside. I especially enjoyed my conversations with Emma, she taught me a lot!
And of course, I can't forget the dogs! Molly, Charlie and Cookie were full of love to give and receive, and taking care of them was the best "job" I could have asked for.
I also had time to explore the area, and they were always happy to give me recommendations and even take me to beautiful places.
I am grateful for this experience, l left with wonderful memories. I hope to see you again one day!

The family is very close and always makes time to get together, such as having dinner all together. I must say that Emma is an amazing chef and her recipes come from all over the world. She's always happy to learn new dishes, so for future Workawayers, I'd recommend sharing a traditional recipe from your country - they'll love it!
The whole West Cork area is beautiful and I would definitely recommend a visit, I had the chance to go on a few trips myself.
In conclusion, I give the experience top marks!

The dogs were so lovely, I had a lot of fun with them!
The house was warm and cozy - I loved my room and enjoyed sitting by the fire and chatting with Emma, Les, Ryan and Miya. They were really welcoming and interested in you as a person. We would talk about everything!
I the beginning of the week I felt ill and Emma would do everything to make me feel top fit again. One of my personal highlights was spending time with them on St. Patrick's Day in Clonakilty. Because I love (and study) theatre, they arranged for me to see the traditional play "the field" from a local drama festival - it was amazing and such a unique experience!
Especially one of my last days I feel really grateful for: Emma, Miya and I went to a Hotel pool and had a good swim, sauna and after that I took a short walk on the sunny beach in Clonakilty. It was so lovely.
Looking back I realise that it was more a vacation than work!

Clonakilty is a beautiful little town with a lot of pubs with fantastic live music.

I'm a bit late with my feedback but better late than never: I absolutely recommend this host family. They will make you feel at home as soon as you've stepped over the threshold.

If you need anything you can just ask. Because the house is not within walking distance from a bus stop or any public transport, Emma takes great care to ask you if you want to go into town with her when she's working or running errands and organises that you get picked up if you want to stay longer. On weekends you can do your own thing or sometimes, the family will take you on a trip if you want to. We went on this fantastic camping trip to the Isle of Beara, slept in tents, made a fire and woke up to a flooded camping side. It was great and we had loads of fun.
You'll have plenty of laughs in the Sullivan house. It's a typical family life - a beautiful mixture of love, fun, enthusiasm, a healthy bit of chaos, a never-ending stream of ideas and things they want to do and chocolate ;) And arriving there, you'll automatically be part of it all. They really appreciate the work you do (even if it's just a load of laundry or walking the dogs). I had a wonderful time and am so grateful for all the memories I made there.
