Description
If you are in Ireland in early Spring 2026, we need help with some gardening. We are looking for help in our garden surrounding our house.
Nothing too strenuous but some experience doing outdoor chores with good energy and work ethic, it would be ideal couple who appreciate nature, scenic views in a fantastic part of the West of Ireland.
PLEASE NOTE: Only hosting couples, at this time.
(Sorry single travelers; keep on looking...and please don't contact me thinking I'll make an exception for you. I won't!
***
You'll share food preparation and general clean up, as part of living together, preferably no cooking later than 6pm, outside of your Workaway tasks. You have your own lovely room with a comfy bed, and a separate bathroom.
Our family have hosted people since 2005 and I've been a helper overseas, so know what makes a good helper experience. See the feedback!
Non smokers and no drug use please. Good conversational English is required.
PLEASE MESSAGE ME via this site re a possible stay rather than phone-call or texting. I will answer all messages, even if I can't have you. I don't take on people who call or text, as they usually haven't read this far!
********************
PLEASE MAKE CONTACT ONCE YOUR PLANS TO BE IN Westport Ireland and BE WILLING TO COMMIT TO HAVING TIME HERE.
We offer hosting because we have work to complete and we need the help. When people let us down at the last minute it is hugely inconvenient for us.
I will commit to having you here, buy extra food and will turn away others who request time with us so that you can be here. Please respect this by turning up, and on the day we arranged.
Thanks
Also looking for someone to sand floors, again some experience would be necessary.
Can only accommodate one couple, solo volunteers maybe later in the year.
In a private room with Wi-Fi.
Volunteers with References are preferred.

Amanda stayed for 3 days and worked for 3 hours. As a host of many years with exceptional volunteers, I was disappointed in Amanda’s approach to volunteering.
What a pity , but Amanda was not a good fit for basic gardening duties.
I wish her the best.
She has a lovely house in Westport. one kilometre from the town. We worked in the garden , we went around his area together , she gave me a lift to the mountain ( Croagh Patrick) and in Conemara. She was patient and friendly , she gave me a big help with English… read more

A great Workaway experience, Charlotte was a willing worker, she threw herself into everything that was going on in the house from gardening to putting labels on envelopes
A willing worker with great maturity. I can highly recommend Charlotte to future hosts.
A very independent young woman who was eager and very willing to help in the garden. Sonia was also happy to share her expertise of IT And social media and she also worked hard on her English pronunciation..
I wish her the very best alway as she moves on in her life to become self employed.

She was eager to get started on her household duties and worked diligently and precisely.
