We only wanted to stay for 10 days and ended up being in this wonderful cosy home for more than two weeks! This place is so peaceful and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Jen and Fin are adorable people who always made us feel like we already know eachother for years. We had a lot of fun, nice food, deep talks and of course some work. We mainly

Rachel is a unique woman. There is something about her character that just draws you in and makes you want to hug her and become her friend.
She is independent and strong and sensitive and calm. She brought a lot of laughter to our home. From the moment she arrived.

Marine is a lovely woman. She is very caring and sensitive which is my favourite thing about her. You can laugh all day with Marine. She's fun and she brings the group together with her kindness.
I enjoyed her company and we bonded very well. At times she felt like a big sister.
We worked hard together and she built for me the most beautiful

I will miss her crazy personality and her contagious laugh.
Thank you Marine for all you have done. I wish you all the best on your journey through life and no doubt I will see you again one day. Bises! 💚

Marcus! The best anyone could ask for.
Marcus stayed with us for 2 months. He is a true British gentleman and I loved every second of his accent.
He has a heart made of sugar and a mind so lovely you could cry.
He worked his bum off and we laughed, I think, every 20 seconds.
I gained a few kg while Marcus was here because his food is just

I loved each moment with Marcus. He brought me tea every 10 minutes and did things for me which I couldn't do.
You are a very good person Marcus and I hope that you one day realise it. We will always stay friends. Forever your big mama fat, Jen. 💛

I was here for two months and would do it again a thousand times over! Jen and Fin have a wonderfully vibrant and artistic house which is situated in an epic-looking valley with lots of sheep (one of whom I befriended - hi Nell!) It’s a naturalist’s paradise with deer, wild goats, ancient oak forests, craggy mountains, marshes, rivers and lakes -
… read more but, I digress. Walking through the property, one can tell a lot of love and passion have gone into the restoration of their home and garden, and I am grateful I could be a very small part of it.
Jen and Fin are so easygoing, friendly and funny and we had good times together. They were very sensitive and caring as well and I really appreciate that in people. Their hosting was exceptional, and I felt instantly at ease as soon as I entered their front door. I could be myself, and the positive energy of the place facilitated that. I also met two wonderful Workawayers, Jen and Fin’s father, Jerry, and numerous acquaintances who all kept me on my toes and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable and interesting.
I will miss the craic (as the Irish say), but I will carry the memories with me and think fondly of this small corner of the world. Essentially, the whole experience was surreal, but my venture cannot be adequately described in words: perhaps it’s best left to the imagination, as that is what prompts people to travel in the first place.
Thank you Jen and Fin - it was quite an adventure and you gave me an unforgettable life & learning experience!
Perhaps this is a long review, but this place warrants it.
Till next time. From your old friend,

Nerea is an amazing woman. I look up to her. You can learn a lot from Nerea. She is confident yet so humble. She is funny and smart and most of all she has a heart of gold. We had good laughs together and made a lot of good memories. I miss the times we had together already.
Nerea came to us to find some peace and I think the fresh air, the

Well, I don't really know how to describe the amazing time I had in the valley with these wonderful people. Jen and Fin are unique individuals, full of sensitivity and intelligence. I embarked on this journey to find peace and heal and that is exactly what I did in what I like to call "my sanctuary". Besides, I made incredible friends, shared

I am so thankful for Jen, Fin and the rest of the people I met there. Seeing the project come together was a rewarding experience and I am so glad that I got the chance to be a part of it. This was my first experience as a Workawayer and I couldn't have been any luckier <3
See you around!!!!
With all my love,

Where do I even start with this workawayer. Dani stayed with us for 4 months. He helped me so much in so many ways and I am so grateful for how he helped me. On the tougher days he was always there, sitting beside me, listening and giving his positive advice. He is honestly the hardest worker and he does it all because he genuinely cares. At times

He is so creative and has the biggest heart I've ever come across. Dani will always be part of our family.
Thank you for being there each time I bumped my toe. You are too good Dani. You deserve great things. ❤️ forever, your friend, Jen

Axi became the bestest friend of mine shortly after she arrived. She is really the sweetest woman and I could not have asked for a better workawayer.
She is very mature for her age and she is so tough. Whatever you give her she can fix. We worked hard together and laughed harder. I will always hold Ax close to my heart. It's not often you come

See you again soon my lovely girl. ❤️

This is the most lovely place to be, the minute i arrived in the house i felt at home, the house is beautiful with all the colours, the space, in the middle of the mountains...
Jen and

Jen is the sunshine of the house, she always wants us to feel good, she has a really good heart ! With Jen and all the workawayers we had so much fun, we worked together, we cooked together... we did a lot of things together ! I really enjoyed working in this place, we painted, we built a woodshed, cut some wood...
Thank you so much Jen for everything’s you’ve done for me/us I really appreciated to stay with you. I grown up so much and I learned so much. This is a real family for me now.

François was a delight to have join us. He's a very kind hearted man and very easygoing.
We became good friends and had great laughs together.
He's very handy around the house and will try whatever he's asked.

I had an absolutely incredible 1 ½ month with Jen and Fin. Filled with joy, good humour and emotional listening! What a lot of laughs! 🌈
The house is warm and Jen is a radiant person who made my stay a most qualitative one. 🌟

Quent is one the loveliest people. He has a heart of gold and is very passionate about what he likes. He cares so much for the planet and animals which is a pleasure to see. Our cat Boef fell madly in love with Quent and will miss the games and cuddles enormously.

I started my trip in Ireland in this workaway. And what a great way to start a journey ! I was suppose to stay for a month but found myself staying 2 weeks more than expected to enjoy this place a bit more.
The house is located in a wonderful place, quite remote but it doesn't mean that you are going to get bored, there is a lot to explore,

Jen and her family (Fin and Jerry) are very kind and it was always a pleasure to discuss with them. Jen is also a really good cook so don't worry if you are not vegetarian, you are going to enjoy every each meal.
To sum up : if you are looking for a lovely place to stay to discover the great irish landscape and meet nice people, this is the workaway you need.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Axelle is a pleasure to have around. He's very aware and will always help out without being asked. He can chop an onion in about 4 seconds and makes a fantastic galette. Axelle is a gentleman and great craic. Good luck on the road and see you again one day for the reunion.

Thank you very much Jen ! my experience in the black valley was wonderful, Jen and his brother Fin live in the confortable remote house in the middle of the natural parc of Killarney.

We share vegetarian food, salsa and traditional Irish danse lesson, job and house keeping together. About work, I made interesting and creative tasks : stone path and stone stair in the garden, painting, build brick wall, etc... Maximun 5 hours per day and we had always enought time to hike and visite around the house and the region during the week end. Jen and his father Jerry are attentive and drive us around for purchase and descover landscape around. In 3 weeks, I hiked 2 mountains : Cnoc an Prise and Carauntoohil ; we visited together Dingle peninsula and a lot of pubs in Killarney ;0
I miss you everyone.
Thank you Jen, Fin, Jerry, Path, Marine, Axi, Quent, Chris and Ellen. Because of you, I loved my first workaway experience.

Pat brings all the laughs to the house. He's a very kind man and loves to connect with people. He's very curious and eager to learn.
If you need something done he'll get it done. Thanks to Pat we are all "professional" salsa dancers now. Thank you Pat for all your help and all the laughs! See you again one day!

Jen and Fin are fantastic hosts. The place feels incredibly warm and familiar. It makes you want to stay forever. Their father, Jerry, is also really friendly and gave us a lot of his time to drive us around.
The work is exactly what I would expect during such a workaway.
We did up the main living house by repainting walls and furniture,

We helped them clear the garden of fallen trees and branches, pruned some vegitation and built wooden structures and iconic stone walls.
The workaway location is also quite crazy. It's a 30min drive to the closest city and the scenery on the road is just incredible. It feels like we're staying in a fairytale valley populated by sheep and a few humans.
All in all a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone. Feels like my second home now! Thank you Jen, Fin and JerrySolo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
