We had an exceptional month in the company of Heidi and Des.
We had the opportunity to discover the region thanks to their advice, as well as learn more about the history of Ireland.
On several occasions, they also offered us the chance to accompany them into town. Sometimes, we shared meals with their family, Marc, Orlaith, and their adorable… read more

We were so lucky to have Shann & Swein stay with us for ( just) 1 month, we d happily would have them stay on longer.

Both were absolutely fantastic workers. Every job & project was tackled with enthusiasm, skill and near to perfection work ethics.

We got so much work done & we couldn't be happier. For example our old compost area dismantled &… read more

We spent the month of February at Emma’s place. She had planned a long list of outdoor tasks for us, but unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side. Nevertheless, we managed to clean a large part of the garden, the flower beds, and the courtyard, as well as remove dead leaves. We weeded, cut back dead vegetation, turned the soil, and added… read more

SUBERB and IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN - Swein and Shaan stayed for a month in February when the weather was very wet weather and far from ideal. However, that did nothing to dampen their spirits and their contribution as Workaways. They have a huge skill set and are extremely driven and professional. In fact they excel in everything they turn their… read more

Swein and Shaan were wonderful helpers. When they arrived they had no experience of working with horses but they were really keen to learn and became very competent very quickly.
Eanna, my gelding was being difficult about being groomed because he has a sore area, so he can be very intimidating - especially for beginners, but as they gained… read more confidence, they managed to handle him very well. They were really gentle and patient with both horses and all my cats. Cleo, my mare, has stiff back legs so doesn't want to pick them up for cleaning her feet, but Shaan managed that too.

Swein had ridden a Quad bike before so he took over shifting all the muck up to the heap, which saves me lots of time. He also managed to fix my hay steamer when a hose started leaking. That was essential because both horses have just allergies.

They had warned me that their English was limited and I now realise how much French I have lost! Communication was a little difficult but we managed, using Google when we got desperate, and Swein in particular worked really hard to improve his English while they were here. Shaan understood more, but was more shy about speaking English. I would say that they both improved dramatically in just a month.

While they were here. I slipped on ice late at night and ended up in hospital for two days with concussion. On my return I had severe vertigo for several more days. They were my heros and took over all the work, putting off their days off until I was able to work properly. Not only that, but they thoroughly cleaned my whole yard so I would not be in danger of falling again.

One day we had a severe downpour and the stable gutter was leaking, so they went around and cleaned all my gutters - on the house as well as the stable block - without being asked. They also cut down large branches off damaged trees, using a bowsaw which is pretty hard work. Swein even helped me on two of his days off, in exchange for practising his English with me.

They had a terrible time with the weather because the caravan water froze and they had to fill the tank by hand, but they never complained and just got on with it. We also had a major storm which cut off power for two days. They helped me to set up a small generator but sadly it wouldn't run a steamer.

They are both really nice people and hard workers. I am very grateful that they decided to stay here and would recommend them to anyone.

We spent one month at Valerie’s place, and it was our first Workaway experience. The caravan was clean, and Valerie immediately took the time to teach us how to take care of the horses, cats, and birds. Despite the language barrier, she was always patient with us.

Through this review, we would like to thank her once again for this wonderful… read more
