Where do I even begin? The Mill was a life changing experience for me. I was originally only supposed to stay one month, and ended up staying three and truly was welcomed in as part of the family and have made lifelong friends on this experience (so much so that my relocation plans are having me staying as close to the Mill as possible!)
The

I slept in a lovely caravan for the three months I was there which has a very comfortable bed and when the heating is on is very warm!Cooking and showering is in Oliver’s cabin which is easy to come and go from and you can enjoy the company of Oliver, Ori and the wonderful and friendly dog, Nero.
Everyone around the grounds is very friendly and they also have outdoor saunas on site! It is a real communal living vibe and was truly an incredible experience in my life.
There are lovely walks around the area, and the site itself is really beautiful. Just a ten minute drive to the towns of Navan and Trim as well as a five minute walk to a great local pub!
All in all I would definitely recommend this experience and I will visit them all again as often as I can.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Emily has been a great WorkAway and we've really enjoyed having her. She has a lot of business experiences and was always willing to help in any way she could. She made beds, cooked breakfast, answered emails, took payments, did laundry, and the like. She also did a Competitive Analysis for us with the other B&Bs in the area and found that our

We unfortunately had a fire while she was staying with us and she lost everything she owned, but she continued to work for us and fulfilled her expected time commitment, all while having a really great attitude. Emily became like part of the family while she was here and we will definitely miss her!

I had a fabulous 3 weeks stay here at the top of the water mill in September 2018. The top of the mill was converted into a little bedsit and was very rustic and I slept very well. Duties were to help make and organise breakfasts in the morning, clear up and then clean and make the rooms up - always with another member of staff. A couple of hours
… read more break at lunchtime and then greet guests who are checking in, in the afternoon. Oliver, Mary and Sinead and of course, Jake the dog, are absolutely lovely and excellent hosts. I was treated as part of the family. On my day off, the village of Trim is a short distance away and there are lovely walks to the castle along the river. I also helped Oliver edit and put together a 2019 "Mills of Ireland" calander.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Fernanda is a really easy going person. She's staying with us for 6 months and we clearly see that she is reliable, practical, disciplined and hard-working. We were very lucky to have her here and much surprised with her abilities to learn how to do the duties very fast.
