Such beautiful kind warm hearted people in a beautiful location in Ireland...
Mark and Emma are wonderful people to stay and volunteer with, as are their 3 boys, and all the other members of Staff, and even though i stayed for 3 whole months i was actually very sad to leave.

I stayed in Emma's place last summer. It was my very first experience with workaway AND my very 1st experience abroad by myself.
Emma, Mark, Joshua and the twins have all been very kind with me. They made me feel welcome and at ease. They allowed me in their family life. The work was never boring. I never felt alone
thanks to all of you
