The Experience

I am looking for help in my five-bedroom BnB which is in the third generation of my family and was originally built by my grandfather. I require help cleaning rooms with laundry, ironing, checking in guests, and help all round the house. Accomodation is a mixture of private and dorm where you will share with just one other person, you will be given three meals a day and have two days a week off. You will also have the use of my mountain bike.

Volunteering at the BnB was an amazing experience! Being surrounded by the most beautiful landscapes and nature. The work is straightforward and fair, I was a great balance between contributing and enjoying the surroundings. John is a great cook, he was respectful towards our preferences and eating preferences. The minor issue for me was the occasional lack of organization and cleanliness in the common areas (kitchen and dining room). However, the volunteer's room was comfortable, private, and cozy! Overall, it's been a memorable and rewarding experience, that I'll recommend!!

Thought there were few communication problems at times, John respected the agreement to the t, the workload is fair aaand he's a really good cook (best curry I've ever had) Shoutout to Evelyne, his sister who was super sweet! As for the area, it's simply incredible, the scenery is breathtaking and there's always a place to explore and a mountain to climb! I went off season so it wasn't as busy as it is in the summer which made my experience even more epic and solitary. It's a bit isolating but you can reach the nearest town quite easily since John puts a bike at disposal if you ask him.

I had an excellent experience at the guest house B+B. John was a great host, friendly, respectful, and cooked the best dinners! Activities were super easy as it's a small B&B. Although is located in a relatively remote area, I visited a few interesting places. If you're looking for something calm and relaxing (as I was!), that's the place. If you want parties and sightseeing all the time, read the room lol it's the Irish countryside! :) Anyway, I am very grateful to John, and also to Evelyn, I will have fond memories of them, the horses, and sweet Ruby <3

If you are wondering whether to apply for this volunteering, the answer is a big YES. The B&B has 5 rooms so the cleaning duties are very simple. The shifts are in the morning so you have the afternoons to explore the area or take the opportunity to unplug and relax surrounded by nature. To get there you have to take a bus Dub-Galway and Gal-Letterfrack (30€). John is a very kind man, with great culinary talents, very respectful and polite. Jonh: Thank you so much for making me feel part of the family, I hope that fate will cross our path again! It will be hard to beat this volunteer :)
