I stayed with Kevin for 2 months and had a really nice time with him and the other 2 residents. They were all very welcoming and always friendly. I got to improve my English and learned a lot about Ireland and its culture.

Spending some time away was also no problem, and there was always someone available to give you a lift to Kinnegad. Kevin and the other 2 residents told me a lot about Ireland, and their cooking was always really good.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone who is looking to stay in Ireland for a longer time and also wants to enjoy their time there!

I had an amazing time during my stay and quickly adapted to the new environment. The house was shared with others, which guaranteed constant companionship and provided excellent opportunities to dive into Irish culture while enhancing one's social skills.
There was always something to engage in, with a significant focus on gardening, alongside
… read more various other small and large projects. The daily routine was structured, and Kevin, our host, offered great flexibility with our work schedule.
This meant that if you wanted to take a midweek excursion, you could do so as long as you made up for the missed hours.
Personally. I learned a lot and got to understand my own, but also other perspectives better. Still, I don't understand why Irish people drive on the wrong side of the road and call fries chips:D
If you desire something, clear communication is key. Being self-reliant is of paramount importance in this setting. Given the somewhat remote location of the house, planning trips or visits to bars is more feasible on weekends. Ensure you bring your computer and some reading material; the internet here is remarkably fast.
I had a great time and would do it again anytime.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Hello to everyone!
i have been in Kevin's house for about one month, from the 10th november to the 7th december.
Overall my experience has been nice, i can say that i am enough satisfried to have passed some of my time in Ireland there.
specifically has been nice because in the Kevin's house live many other people (obviuosly depends when you go
… read more there), who even if they live their life and you don't work with them, you can make a lot of conversation when you see them in the house, thing that is very interesting if you want to improve your english speaking.
for the rest, the work was enough simple, maybe sometime a bit repetitive, but all works that about everyone was able to do: things as clean the house, clean and pick up the leaves and so on. you can work with your own time, because Kevin don't stay there to stare you while you are working, so you can work without rush.
one important thing that you have to know of Kevin's host, is that he doesn't baby-sitting you: he is very open to your need, so if you need something just ask him, and he will give it to you, but don't think absolutly that he will take care of you, you have to be able to take care of yourself. indeed, unless that at the moment there would be someone else workawayer, you will work alone. you will see Kevin and the other people just in the other moment as the lunch, dinner and so on.
His house is in a countryside, so you won't be able to travel or go out during the week, unless you will want do some jogging or walk in the countryside. nevertheless that, kinnegad bus stop is just a 5 minutes of car (and often Kevin took me there), or 40 minutes on enough fast walk, and there you can easily catch a bus for dublin (about one hour of travel), or also Galway (2 hours and half of travel). so there is a great bus connection in Kinnegad, so you can travel on the weekend, but not only, because Kevin can let you to travel for many days also during the week.
so i can advice you to go to him!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

During the evenings you can enjoy some Irish music and a good chat with him, he has lots of stories and knows Irish history very well due to his background in the tourisic sector, but he'll also listen to you and maybe give you some advice from his point of view (he made me think for sure!).
If you can get a chance to stay with him, you'll make the right choice.

A fair exchange !
Kevin is a welcoming irish man with a great humour and hosting experience. He'll ask you to work 5 hours per day (Monday to Friday). During my stay I weeded, mowed the lown, clean the house, and so on. In return Kevin will provide you a confortable accomodation and good food.
During weekends you can easily travel to Ireland by

I have spent 1 months in Kevin's house and let me say that if hadn't had personal problems that make me leave I would have spent another month there.

We also have spent some good nights of good wine, beers and stories that Kevin has told to us. As a tour guide he had a lot of strange experiences that he shares with you with a lot of humour.
In addition, the work was fair. Five hours per day during the week and the weekend are free for you to go and explore the country. Kevin usually cooks very good meals, and sometimes asks you to cook the typical dishes of your nation.
Finally, Kevin usually has more than one workaways at the same time. I had the opportunity to share my time with an Italian and French men who were really cool. That's an excellent opportunity to improve your English!
To sum up, I would like to come again the next time I visit Ireland. It was such an enriching experience. Thanks you Kevin!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I lived with Kevin during 5 weeks and I only have good words for him and his house.
-About work: The work is quite easy and the timetable is fair. You work from 10am to 4pm with a break of 1 hour in the middle. The jobs are 90% gardening: cleaning the garden, mowing, repair the fence, cleaning the greenhouse, or the patch, and prepare it for

-About food: All food is provided. The meals here are very nice. Sometimes is Kevin who cooks and sometimes you will have to cook during your break of one hour. On the fridge you will find a shopping list, where you can write all the basic food (alcohol is not provided, for example haha)
-About house: The house and the property are enormous so there is a lot of space to be comfortable. It is very clean, but it is necessary that you keep it clean after cooking, for example.
-About room: To share room is a possibility here. There is a double room for volunteers, so if you are two volunteers during your staying here, you will share room. In my case, specifically, we were three and I was the one with more seniority in the house, so I had another room only for me.
-About afterwork and weekend: This house has his own gym into the shed, it has enough things like weights, barbell, jump rope, mat, abs machine, etc. There are three bikes too! Wifi band it’s enough here, I was doing a lot of videocalls without problem. Weekends are full free.

It was my first 'Workaway" experience and I can say It was amazing and really comfortable in Kevin's house. I stayed nearly one month and all moments were perfect for me.

I enjoyed staying with Kevin and I learned many new things from him. Actually about stock Market! If you interest business and investing the money, KEVIN is the MASTER!!!

There is a gym and weights if you want to do some exercises in fresh air and also he gave me one of his bikes and I traveled around Kinnegad. All green and magnificent landscapes. I highly recommend to you guys to visit all around the farm.

Ian came to us in early Aug. '20. We had communicated since Oct. '19 initially. He did workaway with us for 7 weeks. From his arrival it was clear that Ian is a very organised and disciplined guy.

He mixes very well with all types of other people, being chatty, communicative and obliging. He is a very polite and respectful guy, always checking if things are ok or if he can be of more assistance to others.

From the moment Kevin collected me from Mullingar train station is was quite evident that we were going to get along well. Kevin is a very kind man with a big heart. He is also the first person who I’ve ever met who talks more than I do! Kevin has an enormous array of stories from his work as a tour guide, so if cultural exchange or extensive
… read more knowledge about the history of Ireland are what you are looking for then look no further! He is also good to talk to about pretty much anything so that’s another bonus....
The meals here are also excellent and there is a lot of flexibility for workawayers to experiment and cook anything they wish (I am a terrible cook and was quite happy to do the washing up instead but I’m just saying that the option is there to experiment if you want it!). Kevin also grows his own herbs/veggies etc and tries to use them wherever possible when cooking which is nice.
As for the work itself…….Very satisfying. The jobs were varied and included weeding the garden, cleaning the house, fixing the showers in the guest rooms (or attempting to before finally submitting and calling the plumber!), reorganising the gym/shed area. Kevin has a laid back personality so will tell you what he wants doing and then just leave you alone to do it in your own time (without bothering you every 5 minutes like some other hosts do!). This is important as it creates trust and if you plan to stay for a long time (I was here for just over 2 months) then this kind of relationship between host and workawayer is crucial.
Other perks are the gym/punchbag in the shed area and the use of the bicycles. There is a lovely canal to cycle along between Kinnegad and Mullingar which I did a few times. There are also a couple of lakes reasonably close which are a lovely place to relax (and take a dip if the water isn’t too cold and you are feeling brave!).
Staying at the house you kind of have the best of everything. It's very relaxed and you always feel like you have a lot of space, both inside the house and outside in the grounds/gardens. There is a lovely swing bench in the front garden (I have now claimed that as my own and nobody else is allowed to use it!) which is a lovely place to sit in the afternoons. At night you can usually see the stars (another one of my favorite pastimes) as there is little to no air pollution here.
Last thing I want to add is that Kevin made me feel very welcome and ‘included’ when he had guests over for dinner a couple of times. This was a nice touch and says a lot about the man.
Overall a wonderful experience. I have done 6 workaway placements in Ireland and this was by far the best. I would have happily stayed for another two months but I now have a paid opportunity elsewhere so need to move on. But you can’t get rid of me that easily Kevin! I’ll be back to stay with you again sometime in the future!!
Take care and all the best my friend,
Ian

It’s really satisfying watch them growing day by day. I also had the opportunity to use the rotovator for mixing the soil and it was really cool folks!
Other tasks examples were dig and spread clay in the field, mow the lawn, tidy up the shed, clean the yard, painting and last but not least drive a Quad for spraying Herbicide.

The place is pretty nice and quite but the city is about 7 minutes from it and you can always spend the weekend in Dublin wich is around 45 minutes away.
This was a very epic stay there was never a bad moment but lots of great ones, the people in the area is quite lovely as well the great Irish spirit is around.
