We stayed with this lovely family for around a month and had a blast! Staying at their beautiful home with the amazing garden was such a peaceful stay. They were very kind in taking you to / from the only public transport nearby, so that we could explore a lot of Ireland while we stayed there. Their kids were fun to play with and simply so cute!
… read more They have a huge collection of leaflets and many many tips regarding sightseeing. (The public transport just seemed to make some issues. ;) ) We can only hope they will open their arms to more workawayers and wish everyone staying with them a wonderful time!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We stayed with Sherilyn and Sam for two weeks and we enjoyed every day, even the ones we had big tasks to do. Our work consisted of odd cleaning jobs (for example windows, cupboard & children’s toys), helping in the garden or on Sam´s hazelnutfield, and looking after the kids for short whiles. We felt very comfortable with them.
They have a
… read more beautiful house and a great family dynamic, we felt right at home.
They encouraged us to do daytrips so we could experience Ireland even while living in their rural and quite area.
The family is very lovely and nice. It was just as much joy for us as it was for the children to play with them. Communication about the tasks, the daytrips and everything else was fantastic and very easy.
We are lookng forward to stay in touch with them and would love to maybe visit them again in the future.
In conclusion, as Gen Z would say it (which we are part of): 10/10 would recommend :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Laura and Lina stayed with us for 2 weeks. They were both very friendly, easygoing and helpful. We very much enjoyed getting to know them both and sharing our home and a bit of Ireland with them!
We were lucky enough to spend 10 days with my daughter with this very nice family. Sherilyn and Sam are very welcoming and attentive. They are very concerned that we have a pleasant stay with them. They very often offered to drop us off wherever we wanted to discover the surrounding area or to go on outings with them. They even arranged a visit to
… read more their friends' farm so that my daughter could see puppies, a foal and calves. Thank you so much. We had a very nice room. The house is very pleasant. As for the help I was able to give, it was mainly help around the house, such as doing the laundry, looking after the children, cooking, cleaning windows or painting a desk. They're always happy with the work and very grateful. Their children are really adorable. Sam's parents are lovely too. Thanks to them for spending the day with us and taking us to the farm. They're a really nice family. Thank you to this beautiful family for this great exchange. We hope to see you again.
We has the privilege of hosting Cathy and her daughter Lilly in April 2024, and cannot rate them or the experience highly enough. Both Cathy and Lilly are lovely. They both slotted into our daily life perfectly and were a great help. Cathy helped with household chores, some DIY, looking after our children (2.5 years and 3 months at the time), and

Lilly helped with a few tasks of her own and was great to play with our toddler and walk our 2 dogs! We found that Cathy was extremely proactive and precise in all her work and was always more than happy to help us with anything that we asked. We enjoyed the opportunity to learn a little French and to help Cathy and Lilly with their English. We would thoroughly recommend them to any future hosts and we would hope to remain in contact with them for many years to come!Feedback
