This was our first time as workawayers and we couldn’t have asked for more! We had a lovely time at Bridget’s, so much that we didn’t wanna leave! We went there for two/three weeks and ended up staying almost two months. Bridget was also kind enough to welcome us back again after a disappointing experience with another host.
What to say? First,… read more the place is great and the location amazing! At night you fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and when you wake up you feel glorious; it doesn’t matter if it rains or if it’s windy outside, just looking out the window is enough to feel at peace with the world.
Every day we went for long walks and we had a lot of free time to explore the area, to go to the Cliffs of Moher and to visit the towns near our place, such as Milltown, Lahinch, Ennistymon, Liscannor.
After some hesitation, we finally plucked up courage to jump in the ocean… best decision ever! It felt unbelievably great and after that first time we became addicted. Every sunny day was swim day!
We had our weekends off, so we were able to visit around and we spent fantastic time in Galway, Killarney, Doolin and Lahinch.
The workload was more than fine; loads of things to do and lots of different activities, from gardening and cutting grass to painting, cleaning and organize stuff (which we were pro at 😉). Bridget was flexible with working hours and we never worked under pressure. We enjoyed doing everything and listening to music while working helped!
Last but not least, Bridget is wonderful! She is a very easy going person and great craic! We had really nice walks with her, to Spanish point, to St. Brigid’s Well (a very unique place), to Ennistymon, to the Burren national park and so on. She’s an excellent host, in just a couple of days we felt completely at ease. She was also very supportive and gave us great suggestions about our future as psychologists (giving us a bit of hope too). We miss her and we miss our movie nights with her, the perfect ending to long, but happy, days.
We also spent great time with the rest of the family. And what a family! Everyone was extremely nice, kind, caring and fun to be with and there always was this relaxed and chill out atmosphere around the house.
We loved the afternoons spent drinking tea/coffee with Arthur, looking at his artworks and eating cookies (and scones). Bridget’s sons are the best! Tom was always there when you needed a ride, always available and super friendly. We spent lots of time with Kieran, watching movies in his “cave” and having fun. He’s an upbeat guy, always cheerful and very pleasant to be with. The two O’Connell brothers, Kieran and Jon, took us to lots of their gigs and we loved it! To the magical ones in Doolin on Monday nights to the reggae/ska ones, which were lot of fun. We met cool people there and we miss deeply not only Jon and Kieran, but the other band members too, that made us feel one of them. We still can’t believe how lucky we were and how lovely everyone was.
Bridget and her family, not to mention Indy the dog, became special to us and we know we will always be welcomed there, to a place that feels like home. We left a piece of heart there and can’t wait to see everyone again!
Thank you for everything Bridget, it was like living a dream!
See you soon

We spent just a few days at Bridget’s place, but it was an all in all perfect stay. We painted and organized a room with bathroom that she rents out to guests. It was a really pleasant job and Bridget was flexible with working hours if we made sure to get the job done within the time frame (which we thought was a really nice principle). We ended… read more

I have been for 2 weeks and it was a wonderful moment ! Bridget and Kieran are so kinds and funny and I felt very great in the house ! The work is not really hard and there is no pression for that if the work is done as it was planned.
Thanks a lot for this first workaway experience and share with you the concerts, dances and chocolates!

I have been for two weeks and have been amazing ones good two weeks of sunny days, fortunately, in one of the most beautiful places of Ireland. Lahinch is a seaside town specially lively during the summer, and a perfect place for going surfing. Bridget and her family are lovely. There is a familiar atmosphere which make you feel really… read more

I had a great time at Bridget. I stayed during 2 weeks (without rain !). Bridget received me friendly. I worked on my own, but her sister had 2 others workers, so we could see each other. Her son is a musician and makes many concerts in the region; he even drived me to one of his concerts.
The house is very nice, and the location is incredible. I… read more

A year has passed, but I didn't forget the good time I spent at Bridget's place. It was the best month of my one year experience in Ireland. I met great people in there, great musicians, warm hearts and I was treated as part of the family. It was my first workaway experience and It couldn't be better. The work was intense for e person who's not… read more

My stay with Bridget was an amazing experience, her and her son made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They live in an amazing part of the world, and I got to cycle up to the cliffs of Moher.
I found Bridget a very interesting person and we had some great conversation and an incredable walk from Doolin up to the cliffs. Not to mention the… read more

This was our first time with a workaway experience and we really had a great stay with Bridget and her family. The house was nice and located in an enviable and quiet enviroment. Perhaps it was a little far away from the town and the beach but we had always the possibility of going there by bike or hitchhiking. Bridget and her family were very… read more

my experience with Matt and Jen was that they were not here to work, they have been my least favourite people to come to my house, unable or unwilling to follow simple instructions, and constantly picking up things wrong that I would say to them. despite constant reminders that we start work about 9 or 9.30 Jen rarely appeared in my kitchen before… read more

Our stay with Bridget lasted 17 days. Our emails would take 3 or 4 days to get responded to and it wasn't until the day before our anticipated arrival that we were given an address or phone number. There were some surprises when we arrived that we had not previously encountered. We were told that we were expected to be out of the house every… read more

I just had a perfect time with Bridget, Thomas and all her family around. A lot of things to do in the garden or in the house, but you never work under pressure, and Bridget is, as she says herself, an "easy-going person", as well as a very good dancer!

The weather was good, and the area or town such as Miltown Malbay, Lahinch, Ennistymon,… read more

I've spent about ten days with Bridget and enjoyed the gardening (sometimes together) and helping her with her holistic counselling website. Bridget is a great Ceili dancer, a good listener, and cook. Her house offers an astonishing view over green fields and of the sea. Although her house is quite remote I got never bored since there were often… read more

She's a great, fun, out-going person and a very good host - and so are the members of her family. They really made me feel very welcome.
