It was my first experience with worldpacker and thanks to John it was a great first experience ! I was with 2 other volunteers and there was a very good ambiance. From the beginning to the end of my stay, John never stopped to do his best so that I enjoy the most. He adviced me what to visit and he lent me his bike ! Otherwise, John loves cooking! We ate very well every day, breakfast lunch and dinner were always perfect ! I really appreciated the mix of culture, with John who likes talking about irish history and also with other volunteers. We just had to work in the morning and we were fre

Great experience and location as it's a quick walk to the beach. If you love to the ocean and enjoy swimming this is a great place to be. Jhon, the host is an amazing cook and has an adorable dog. Overall, it was a great experience for my first time doing Worldpackers.

The guest house has been my first experience in worldpackers and the best choice I could ever have done. John is a great host and to work with him is easy. I've learned about Ireland history and culture, and I've discovered amazing places!! And I've learned much more about myself. I'll come back to Ireland for sure, the atmosphere all around is indescribable, you have to live it by yourself. I highly recommend this experience!! No doubts, just do it!! And don't hesitate, ask me anything you want to know and I'll try to help you as much I can. Sláinte!!

I spent 3 wonderful weeks in the guest house, which I can only recommend! John is very nice and kind, and it's true, very good at cooking ;) We could have many conversations on many topics and I learned a lot about the history of Ireland and Irish culture thanks to him. The work is fair, and I could enjoy of my free time to discover the amazing Connemara region and da lot of hiking and cycling! Everything was perfect, thank you again and I'd like to come back one day with pleasure!

The guest house was my first worldpackers experience and it couldn't be better. John is an amazing host. He's nice and friendly (and he cooks as Gods!). Connemara is BEAUTIFUL and I would definitely recommend everyone to stay with him. :)

I really enjoyed staying in Castle House, it is a +100 year old well preserved lovely house. John made my 2 weeks there a unique experience. The landscapes and views from the house are beautiful, including the beaches and castle ruinas nearby. Aside from the daily cleaning tasks, which were shared between both of us, John also had to take care of his sheeps due to lambing season. He invited me witness a couple of births and let me feed the lambs when necessary, it was incredible. John is an amazing cook too, he prepared delicious Irish dishes, I'll never forget any of these. Thank you John!

My travel partner Rudá and I spent 2 weeks at the guest house, we had some conflicts in the 1st week due a lack of communication from both parts. We expected a time schedule and some clarification of what were our tasks in the B&B, which John hasn't provided, but later on we asked and during the 2nd week I believe we got along better. During the 5h of work you will help serving breakfast to guests, clean the kitchen after breakfast time, iron many sheets, strip all 5 rooms beds, clean the guest rooms bathrooms and hoover everything, it's not difficult and all meals are provided. John is a good guy

I had wonderfull two and a half weeks in Castle House. For me it was an great experiance. To work with Jhon was funny. Aaaaaand he is a very good cook. Yummie. Also John is an warm an open minded person. I felt like home since the first second. I would visit again! Everything works perfect. Since the first contact via worldpacks till the day I was leving Castle House everything was very easy and uncomlicated. I often used the mountianbike to explorer the area of Connemara. Everything was perfect.

Mon expérience dans le B&B s'est très bien passée! Les taches sont simples même si elles sont fatigantes. John m'a bien aidé à apprendre l'anglais en faisant la conversation même si son accent est compliqué à comprendre. La nourriture est à profusion, et il cuisine très bien! Ce que je pourrais reprocher : Un manque d'organisation qui peut nous handicaper dans notre travail. Il est désordonné, il ne fait pas le ménage derrière lui On était souvent obligé de l'attendre car il n'était jamais prêt ce qui nous a retardé dans notre travail. Malgré ça c'était une belle expérience, merci !

El paisaje es hermoso, las horas de trabajo adecuadas, días de descanso se respetaron, john es una persona muy respetuosa y cocina delicioso realmente extrañare sus comidas. Además john fue muy paciente con mi inglés ya que yo estaba aprendiendo a hablarlo. Si deseas conectar con la naturaleza esta es una muy buena opción.
