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 :)

It was my first experience and it exceeded my expectations. The time goes by very quickly. From the first moment you feel welcomed by John and the other volunteers. The tasks are easy and not heavy to do. The food is delicious and the beach is super close and beautiful. I would definitely recommend it.

My experience at castle house was amazing. John is a wonderful person, the tasks are easy and the place has everything you need to have a good experience. John's dinners are delicious, work hours and days off are respected by the host, on your days off you can go to Renvyle beach, climb the mountains in the area that have amazing views, go to Conemara national park or tour the nearby towns. I am very grateful for the experience at castle house, I felt very welcome and I made great friends, I highly recommend it.

My experience has been amazing here. I couldn't have asked for a better place to be at. Tully, Renvyle has captured my heart. About the host: Leaving John expert cooking skills aside, he is the most kind hearted Irish person I've met! Always looking after volunteers, going the extra mile for us and treating us like family. I'm so grateful. About the work: simply fun, fair hours, flexibility, never getting bored and easy tasks. I am beyond lucky to have found this place and stayed in the guest house with John and more amazing people all this time (I extended my time twice already). 🫶🏻

John took great care of us volunteers, offering comfortable accommodations and delicious meals. Becoming part of the small family and form friendships with the volunteers made the experience even better. They came from all over, and it was fascinating to hear their stories, share experiences and learn about their cultures. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking for a fulfilling volunteer experience in a stunning setting. Thank you, John, for an unforgettable time!

I had a good experience in this B&B. he place is very nice, the landscapes are beautiful. I really enjoyed learning about Irish culture. John is a good cooker and he gave me a lot of tips to visit around (he took me to the bus stop so I could visit somewhere else). Overall, I had a great experience and am grateful to have spent time there.

I had a wonderful time staying in Tully and working in the guest house. John is really friendly and a warm-hearted person. He went out of his way to help me explore the area, show me the Irish culture and he cooked delicious meals. The work was exactly what it says on the profile. John often gave me Feedback throughout my time there, which helped me do the tasks correctly. I am grateful for the experience and glad to have made those memories.
