Thanks a lot Maggie for all your love and support.
Thank you Barry for your enthusiasm and for the fun I had with the kids during the camp.

Missing you and all the lovely doggies already ❤️. I have just left Maggie's home and I have no words to describe such an amazing two months' stay. Thanks a lot Maggie, always being so affectionate and helpful. Thanks Pat for being so kind to me. And thanks Barry, Darren and Sara for being so nice to me too. Also, thanks to all the family I have

I will miss so much all the doggies: Cora, Justine, Nela, Lucy, Holly, Trim, Keyla ... and all of them, always following me while working on the farm 🥰. I'm passionate about dogs and Maggie and her family are too. I promise I'll visit you in the future. Un abrazo! Gracias! ❤️You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I have nothing but love for Maggy and her family, and I cannot decide whether I miss the amazing people or the dogs more. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the many, many dogs are the sweetest and nicest animals I have ever met. Whatever you do around the farm, you will always be accompanied by at least one or two of them, which
… read more makes the work even more fun. Speaking of work, my friend and I did a lot of painting, which was fun! Days off are respected, and if you are as lucky as we were, you will get to see unique places. We visited Limerick city a couple of times, and Barry, Maggy's son, also took us to the puck fair, Kinsale and the Dingle peninsula. I stayed at the kennel for nearly four weeks, but I wish I could have stayed longer. Whenever I was sad or homesick, the dogs, especially Nella, always managed to cheer me up.
Thank you, Maggy, for saving us from our horrible previous host!
Thank you, Pat, for our pleasant conversations!
Thank you, Barry, for always making me laugh and for showing us all these gorgeous places!
Thank you, Darren, for always having an open ear!
And, of course, thank you, Sarah, Ronan, and the rest of this family, for welcoming us!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

This was the perfect Workaway experience, really. Maggie saved us last minute from a different host and granted us a wonderful stay. Everything was exactly as described on the profile and I felt very much included in the family. No day was the same and the tasks were always fun. I learned a lot and I especially enjoyed feeding the dogs. A big
… read more thank you also to Barry and Darren, who made fascinating trips to Dingle and other places possible for us - I‘m gonna miss you guys so much. You always took care of us, listened to us, and I had so much fun with you. Thank you, Maggie and Pat, for taking us in last minute and letting us stay at your beautiful home. I will forever cherish the time at the puppy farm and I hope to come back one day, to cuddle all the pups once more.

Our stay with Maguie was unforgettable.
Magui is a lovely person, she was pending to everything we need and always gave us a lot of confidence and support.
Very grateful with our work and pending that we know the most beautiful places in Ireland.
We were also lucky to share with Barry, one of Maguie's children, who supported us in work projects

The work was amazing and unforgettable experience, due to we love dogs, and we had the opportunity to share with puppies of various breeds, feed them, clean their areas, take many pictures and play a lot with them.
The day to say goodbye was very hard and difficult, because we had become very close with the family and all the dogs and puppies.
If you like dogs, this is going to be paradise, we really would like to come back.
We will always remember you and wish you the greatest success, health and prosperity.
Thank you so much.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

My new Irish Family! I laughed, I cried, I cursed and I smiled. This experience has left me with new friends and lots of great memories. The dogs are amazing, a little hard work and lots of poop but the cuddles you get from the animals are so worth it. I was fed well and had a very comfortable bed. There is always someone popping by so was great
