Staying at the guest house B&B was a wonderful experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt truly welcomed. John creates a warm, comfortable atmosphere and is always helpful with tips for exploring Connemara. The tasks are simple—serving breakfast, ironing, making beds, light cleaning—and leave plenty of time to enjoy the stunning nature. You can explore the surroundings by bus or bike. John can also give you a lift to the nearest bus stop, making it convenient to visit many beautiful destinations. And on top of that, his dinners are absolutely delicious!

I really enjoyed my stay at the guest house B&B!! John was very welcoming, friendly and chatty and provided us with lots of fun stories and interesting facts. He is patient and if mistakes are made he communicates that with respect. John is also an amazing cook and I had many super delicious dinners at his house! The B&B is located close to the beach and the national park and therefore ideal to wind down and relax (after the work is done of course :)) and should you want to go anywhere a little further away John is always willing to help you get there as long as you are kind and appreciative :)

My experience at the guest house B&B was wonderful, I felt really at home there and I cannot recommend it enough. John is such a caring and kind person that goes out of his way to help others. The work is not too much but not too little, I really enjoyed getting into the routine of it. We started in the morning and always finished at lunch time, after that we were free to do and visit wherever we liked. The nature there it's amazing, be ready for many beautiful walks and stunning views! My time there was special and I know I'll always look back in the years to came at this experience!

My stay at the guest house bnb was an amazing experience and I definitely recommend it! The tasks (ironing, cleaning, helping with breakfast, making the beds) are quite easy and great to acquire some experience as a first time volunteer. The bnb is located in a really nice area of Connemara and is great if you like hiking and nature. The beach is also very close and beautiful! John is a great host, really welcoming, friendly, and kind. He made me feel at home right away. At dinner we always ate all together, it was really nice and I will miss John's cooking!

The stay at the guest house was amazing. It was my first time volunteering and I definitely recommend it. John is very nice, cooks great and loves to talk to the volunteers. The tasks are easy: often we worked only 4 hours per day. The landscape is lovely and even better than expected. There are lots of possibilities to hike and you can use the bicycle of John too. He convinced me to stay 3 instead of 2 weeks and I'm glad I spent that much time there:)

The place has such a real, authentic vibe with proper Irish charm. From the first day, it felt like I was part of something, not just passing through. The work was honestly a breeze, what made it even better was having loads of free time, which was perfect because there's so much to do in the area. What truly made the experience shine, though, was John himself. One of the nicest people you'll meet. He makes you feel right at home, like you've known him for years. He's full of stories and always up for a laugh. This is the kind of place that sticks with you forever. Can't recommend it enough.

I spend five weeks in the guest house b&b and had a great time! John is kind and a really good cook. I always worked from 8/9 am until around 1 pm. My main tasks were cleaning the rooms and serving the breakfast for the guests. The landscapes are so beautiful and the nearest pubs are worth a visit. I can recommend this place!

John is easy to get along with and a great cook. The tasks are easy and quickly done. The area is great for hiking and exploring nature, but there isn't much else to to do. John can drive you the Bus station in Letterfrack, from there you can go to many places and explore Connemara. This was my first volunteering experience and I enjoyed my stay :)

It was my first time volonteering, and i loved it. The tasks were really easy (cleaning, ironing, help for the breakfast...). John is a really nice person, and he will advices you to visit the connemara correctly (the nationnal park, kylemore abbey...) I really enjoyed my time there. I am a vegetarian and John cooked some really good vegetarians meals. The place is trully beautiful; we can see the hills and the sea from the place, it's a really nice place to stay for volonteering.

I had so much fun! I was there for a month and I was able to visit a lot of places nearby, because John was so kind to drop me and the other volunteer off at the bus station. It is possible to walk to the station, but it takes over an hour and there is no sidewalk or grass where you could walk on, so you would have to walk on a road with cars driving 80km/h. It also has to be noticed that he may not be able to do that for everyone because it depends on how busy the BnB is. In return we almost always cooked the lunch for which (and in general) we could use everything that was in the house.
