Staying at the guest house was an amazing experience! From the moment you step inside, you feel at home, Annie and Pete (+ Gus and Joe) are incredibly warm and welcoming. The work is fair and hours are respected. Annie is flexible if you need a different day off. What makes this place special is how included you feel in their everyday life. Whether it's joining a music session in Galway, dancing to traditional Irish music, swimming at the lake, or going out for brunch with friends. Music and dance fill this house, and the atmosphere is full of good vibes. I couldn't recommend this place more :)

The guest house is such a magical place 🍀 Spending time here felt like suddenly being dropped in the middle of a huge and loving family, a wonderful community full of joy, and laughter, and stories to tell. You're surrounded by music ALL THE TIME, which is already beautiful by itself, and if you enjoy playing any instrument it's also an invaluable learning experience. I improved a lot on the fiddle for such a short time! I had a lot of fun learning the dances, and swimming in the lake and ocean, and going to sessions, and working too! Being here was a delight, I really can't wait to be back! 💖

Fun place to work. People are nice. Annie and Peter are very welcoming. I like to work with Gus. My level of English has significantly improved and I'm more confident speaking with people in English

Although the people were friendly, I found the environment to be completely chaotic and neglected. Even though I fulfilled my volunteer hours, I had to spend much of my time cleaning and organizing on my own initiative, since the place was in total disarray. This left me exhausted and prevented me from making the most of the experience in the way I had hoped: improving my English and sharing in a spirit of community.

Annie, Peter, Gus and everybody else were very welcoming, flexible and human in the way they treat volunteers. They sit on the table with the others, eat together and are really warming! The place is well located in Ireland, and you have access to a beautiful lake. The landscape is awesome and we have felt immersed in Ireland culture. The jobs were easy and the hours are respected. The only problem is that the environment in general is considerably disorganized and dirty. It seems to be cultural, for what we understand, although the conditions of cleaning could be improved.

The guest house was the best place for my first volunteer experience. It was so fun to learn Irish dancing and go to trad gigs in Galway and Annie and Pete and their sons Gus and Theo were so lovely and welcoming and made us feel at home. The community at the guest house was so wonderful and the other volunteers were wonderful. The work wasn't too hard and there was always someone around to offer advice or help if we needed it. The hours were flexible as well which was super helpful.

I had an absolute blast at the guest house. The work was flexible, straightforward and always shown in a way that helped me to learn, there was always another challenge. Annie, Pete, her two sons Theo and Gus and all other residents and volunteers at the guest house were the most friendly, inclusive and welcoming people allowing me to get involved in Irish trad music, dancing and culture. This may have been my first volunteer experience but I'm not sure I'll be able to top it anytime soon.

My experience at the guest house was absolutely amazing. Annie, Pete, and the whole the guest house gang are incredibly welcoming to all who come through the doors. The work is simple and varied so you won't get bored. The house is full of music and dancing (and soup!). If you are going during the winter, take an extra pair of socks and get a taste for tea.

This was one of the most enriching cultural experiences I've ever had! At the guest house, I was welcomed like family, with work hours respected and a flexible, understanding environment. Visitors should bring warm clothes in winter and clothes that can handle dirt or paint, as tasks often involve renovation, repairs, or gardening. I immersed myself in Irish culture, learning traditional dance and music, and enjoyed the stunning nearby lake and nature walks. I'm so grateful for this incredible opportunity—it's an experience I'll always cherish!
