I had an amazing time at the House. I even came back this year for the second time around because I loved it so much! The people are really nice, the house and surrounding land is gorgeous, and the food is great! I will miss this place and might even come back for a third time. Thank you so much to everyone who made my time in Ireland so amazing!

It was our first time as workawayers and we could not have made better experiences and more beautiful memories.

We worked in the beautiful garden and it always was a lot of fun! You never have to work alone.
And we can promise you one thing: you`ll never be hungry! There is a lot of delicious food and during weddings you even get delighted desserts! (But the self-made pancakes were the best! We could never resist ;))
Margaret does a great job and took care of us the whole time, so did the other workawayers. Jaka is a really good manager and supporter who always appreciated our work. They offered us a lift, whenever we wanted to go to town or anywhere else.
We stayed there for 3 months and we are sure, we`ll come back again and visit our „second home“.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Lucy and I spent a month at this House and Margarete, Jaka, PJ and all of the volunteers were very receptive, kind and patients.

Our accommodation was really

We had 3 days off that we always relaxed or went on a trip with other volunteers. All of them helped a lot with our English and we could improve and practice while we were there.
PS: we can't forget to tell that if you have sweet tooth, you will be the happiest person with the delicious desserts after dinner.
Thank you for this wonderful experience! And, of course, for my birthday cakes *-*.

Brooke arrived in April 2019 and spent 7 months with us at the House. She came to us with much enthusiasm to learn and grow her cooking skills and to learn more about the hospitality industry.

Brooke is hardworking and always eager to learn with a great heart.

There are no words that would make justice to my experience at this Host...
Everything was Amazing from the moment I entered the country: someone gladly picked me up from the bus station in Nenagh, brought me back to the house and gave me a quick tour of this lovely place.
I worked here for a little bit more than a month, mainly as a cook. The
… read more kitchen atmosphere is fun, and the hours fly because of it. I particularly enjoyed working with Chef Evelyn and the girls (Irene, Brooke and Mireia).
The good thing about working here is that if you don't know what to do, someone will find you something, from housekeeping, painting something, helping outside, setting tables,...
I didn't come here to improve my English but I still did, thanks to the many nationalities living in the house, all communicating in English with each other.
Days off can seem a little "boring" at first because the house is not IN the city center, but the location, with the lake, the gardens, the homy sitting room and a nice fire (thank you Sam) make you forget about it. Also, reaching town is quite easy if you ask someone to drop you off there.
I will never forget this AMAZING experience, the dinners all together, the movie nights, the shopping trips and all the people that made my stay extraordinary. This place became my home for a month and I hope I'll get to visit soon!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Marie was such a wonderful addition to the team. She was a hard worker and got along with everyone. She was usually the first to greet newcomers and give them the tour, and was always there if someone needed help. She mainly worked in the kitchen, and was a great worker. She did any job you gave her, and she always gave her best to the job given.

This was my first workaway experience and it couldn't have been a better one. I stayed for four months and wish I could have stayed longer. The place is beyond beautiful and the area is very quiet. Even though Nenagh is about a 10min drive away, getting to town was never a problem. There are bus routes from Nenagh that made travelling on my days

Wedding days were usually very busy and stressful but the guesthouse isn't as busy during the week which is why there was generally less work to do from Sun-Tue. Delicious food was always provided (sometimes cooked by the chefs) but we were also welcome to bake/cook whenever and whatever we wanted! The staff as well as Margaret are some of the nicest people I've ever met and I'll truly miss working and living with them. Thanks again to Margaret, Jaka and the chefs for making my time so wonderful.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I've stayed at this guesthouse for six weeks. This was my first workaway experience and I couldn't decide on any better place! The people there are so friendly and helpful, I felt welcome from the first day on. It felt like I became part of a big family. The work was very varied, every day was different.

But you get in touch with guests from all over the world and everyone's happy these days. There was plenty of delicious food provided (I couldn't resist the tasty desserts!) and I had enough time to explore Ireland on my two days off per week. The whole estate is stunning and Margaret is a great host! I want to thank everyone for their help and for providing me such a great time. I already miss you all and I will definitely come back for a visit!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Anna stayed with us for six weeks and was a wonderful addition to our team at Ashley Pak. She is caring, motivated and naturally gets along with everyone. With her kind and easy going nature, she is very easy to live and work with. The time she spent with us went by way too quickly and it would have been great to have her stay with us longer.

We had an amazing, unforgettable experience for eight weeks over the winter at the guesthouse. The staff are some of the friendliest people we've ever met, and we miss them already. Not only are they welcoming and helpful, but it's also a good arrangement to have volunteers assisting staff, so that you never feel lost or without a task. There is a
… read more clear spirit of generosity throughout the house and business, and PJ made sure we were well taken care of. The food is incredible -- above and beyond what we expected as volunteers. The nature of a bed & breakfast is that there is always work to be done, and as such, our day to day work varied in tasks and structure. There are advantages to this flexibility (every day is different!), but it may be an adjustment for workers who really like structure and routine. Our work hours were reasonable and we had the time we needed to explore Ireland. We weren't there in the busy season, and we imagine it's hard work but the perks remain the same: friendly staff, great food, and varied work tasks. We worked alongside other volunteers and had an incredible experience making new friends. We're grateful for our time here and know we will be back to visit!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Amazing experience. Everyone in this house was so wonderful and welcoming. Pj & Margaret we're great hosts and always made sure I was comfortable. There were several other workawayers (many from Germany, France, the US) whom I was able to make special bonds with, as well. Apart from my work, I was able to go on trips, hike the Silvermines, and

It was quite a slow time couple of weeks; however, I was still able to contribute in turning over rooms for new guests, computer/social media work, and assist with dinners and the kitchen. I even made it just in time to experience the last wedding of the year! The B&B and Marquee are beautiful, with an incredible view overlooking a lake (the sunsets are everything).
This was a perfect workaway for me, because I plan on working in the hospitality industry. Although, it is still simply for anyone who wants to work hard and enjoy great company. Every person in this house made a huge impact on my life and I couldn't be more thankful. I hope to see you all very soon!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Fiona and Lia have been a great help around the garden, in the house with guests and in the kitchen. They see work that has to be done and work independently! They always had a smile on their faces and were friendly to everyone. It was a pleasure to host them and I would recommend them to any host.
