I had a wonderful time with Claire and the kids. I was treated like a member of the family and the location is amazing. I would highly recommend this host.

Linda is such a wonderful person, full of life and up for any task. The kids really enjoyed her company and will miss her. She is a very interesting person, full of life stories and a very positive person. She would be an asset to any Workaway host and we hope she can return to us again in the future.

A big thank you to this family who welcomed me with open arms! Thank you for immersing me in the Irish culture during these 2 weeks. I loved it!!
The landscapes that surround you are beautiful! And all the people around you are great and everyone helps each other. So if you have to go into town, Claire will always try to find someone to drop you

Sandra was a lovely addition to our house. She fitted in perfectly and was a great help with the kids. I really enjoyed her company and learning some French from her. She is a lovely happy girl and any family would be lucky to have her stay with them. She is brilliant with children and always wanted to help out with something in the house.

I stayed with Claire and her kids for wonderful two month. I quickly settled in and soon felt like a part of the family.
Claire is an easy-going, lovely host who did everything to make sure I have a great time.
It was really little work she asked me to do, mainly watching after the kids, helping with cooking and very little cleaning up.
The kids

Tragumna is a beautiful place with an amazing nature. It is only a 10-minute walk from the house to the beach and you can see the sea from the house.

I had a wonderful stay with Claire and her family. Her kids are so well behaved and friendly. The accommodation was 5 star, such a beautiful home with an amazing view of the sea. Claire has a great personality, very easy to talk to and showed me around the area! I would definitely recommend a stay here and I hope to come back some day ☺️

It was a real pleasure having Mairead stay with us. She is a hard worker and willing to do any task asked of her.
Mairead has a friendly and outgoing personality and the kids loved her.
She left her room impeccably clean and tidy. We would love to welcome her back into our home and will miss her around the house.

This was my second workaway experience and it was very good! I stayed for one month and I wished it was longer. From the first minute, I felt like a part of the family. Claire always cared about me and asked after my needs. I had to watch over Zara and play with her during the afternoon. Most of the time Claire was also at home, which was
… read more brilliant! In the evening she showed me some cooking or baking skills. It was always fun to make the dinner together! After the dinner we played chess, watched a movie or just talked a bit. You have your own bed and bathroom with wireless. They live near the beautiful town "Skibbereen" and there is a bus station where you can get a bus to Cork or other little towns. Claire picked or dropped me at the bus station every time, which was fantastic. There is also a little pub and a beautiful beach just 10 minutes walk away. I´ve had enough free time in the mornings to do whatever I wanted for example having breakfast in Skibbereen or just sleep a bit longer ;).At the weekends I had time to explore the rest of Ireland, for example, Dublin, Dungarvan or Cork. So I had enough time to visit different cities.
I would definitely choose Claire and her family as a host again and I wish I could stay a bit longer. I am very glad All the best and thank you for the great time!!

We had a wonderful time with Ellie ( as the kids called her). She was great fun in the house and willing to help out with everything. Our little girl enjoyed baking with her. She was very good with helping with the kids homework. We would love to welcome her back at any stage. She left her room spotless. We wish her all the best for the future

Really enjoyed my time staying with Claire and her family. She made time to show me the beautiful scenery in their town and also learned me to cook some really good dishes. They have a pretty home with a great view. I miss her and the kids already. Thank you for opening your home to me :)

We had a wonderful week with Elfie. She was very patient with the kids and taught our son lots about video editing. She is very skilled in her area. She was also a great babysitter and helped out in the house with any task. I really enjoyed her company and will miss her.

I had a great time with Claire. I enjoyed talking to her and I really liked the children!! Claire showed me around in her car and gave me some advice on what to do around there. She also introduced me to a previous workawayer. Unfortunately I had to leave earlier as I thought because of family reasons at home. Thank you, Claire and I hope we'll

We had a wonderful time with Stefanie and it was a shame she had to leave us urgently to go back home. She didn't stay too long with us but her time with us was very enjoyable and she was a great help to me around the house. The kids really liked her and she was very patient with them. We would love to have her back sometime in the future.

I enjoyed the time in Ireland. Claire and her family live on a wonderful place. I had a room with private bathroom of my own, which was very comfortable. Clair was all the time fair with the working time, if I worked to much she motivated me to go and explore the environment. That was great, I saw a lot of Ireland highlights. My work was taking

We thoroughly enjoyed having Carmen stay with us and the time went by way too fast.
She was a great help in the house and nothing was a problem for her.
She is a fantastic workawayer and we hope our future experiences with work away will be as good as our experience with Carmen.
