The perfect place if you're looking for a mix of reconnecting with yourself and meeting people from all around the world. Leon and Gillian are incredibly warm and kind hearted people, always smiling and ready for interesting and pleasant conversations. They're also very trustworthy and adopt a wonderfully patient and pedagogical approach when it comes to the tasks to be done, something that really stands out compared to many hotels around the world that focus more on profit than people. I highly recommend this place which helped me improve my English and gave me a truly great experience !

I don't recommend it, issues of constraints between differences I didn't have luck this time in the guest house.

Unfortunately Jardel misrepresented himself, claiming Intermediate level English, while he cannot understand nor speak any English. But that was not the main issue; We could not get him to even make a bed without making mistakes. For example : He did not think a sheet was needed on a bed with a mattress protector. He paid little attention to cleaning and for example left a lufer and used soap in a bathroom and could not understand why that was a problem. So we had to ask him to leave.

Me and Luis stayed there for one month and we can say that it was an incledible experience in a gorgeous place, though one month is too much because after two weeks you have already explored everything. Despite all, the experience was more than positive. the guest house is a very good place to improve and get confidence in the language because you can meet a lot of people from all over the world. Gillian and Leon are super kind and the work isn't difficult: only 2/3/4 hours in the morning (with some fast task in the afteroon). We think that it is an experience that can improve your life.

My experience in the guest house was very good, the hotel is located in a beautiful place full of hikings and beaches to go, as a hiking lover, it was amazing to me. Work was simple but had a high volume since it was holiday season so the hotel was always busy. You'll have 1 day off and they'll take you to Donegal once a week to buy your weekly food. Leon and Gillian made me feel part of their family, I enjoyed a barbecue with their family. I had a great time there and would recommend the experience for people that like nature and want to spend some time in a remote and calm place

The guest house is situated in a gorgeous place, there are a lot of beautiful trails I really enjoyed because I love hiking. Gillian and Lion are very good persons. They easily made me feel like one more of their family. I especially liked hearing their laughters at the mornings while they were chatting with the guests. Another positive thing in the guest house is you will meet people around the world, for me it was so good, and I could improve my English conversations with different accents and I made friends from different countries. I spent a great time there, and I will miss some things, especially the hosts.
