Staying and working in Glencolumbkille was quite the learning experience. The landscape and locals were lovely. Though the BnB is quite remote, you'll surely enjoy the scenery on your walks or bus trips there. It is important to note that the hosts do have conservative opinions regarding race & religion, the LGBT community and others appearances/weight. their information guide does state that you will receive 2 days off, however it is only 1. the daily work can be completed in 3-4 hours. I'm thankful for this experience regardless.

The guest house was my first experience with worldpackers and I absolutely loved it there! I've been there for six weeks, but it felt like much less, because work didn't feel like work and, most importantly, because of Leon, Gillian and Minky of course! From the first second, they made you feel welcome. We shared a lot of laughs and spent beautiful evenings in the kitchen eating cake. I have so many things to say, but the review can't be longer than 600 characters. Nevermind, words can't express how grateful I am that they made my experience so enjoyable! Thanks Leon and Gillian! Wish you the best!

The guest house is a lovely place. As soon as you get there you feel welcomed and as a part of the hostel. If you want to travel, to see the nature of Ireland and simultaneously want to get to learn a lot of new people, the guest house is the perfect place. Gillian and Leon are always very bright and always have a good laugh with the guests and the workers. Both of them are very caring and really love the area and love to show you where the best places to go are. I've been there with a friend and in our 6 weeks we enjoyed the area and had tons of laughs over a piece of cake. Both really make it a unique stay!

I came to the guest house with Aniek and I absolutely loved it there. It is a very remote place, but it is well connected with a bus line. The bus stop is a few meters away and takes you to Donegal. The surroundings at the guest house are absolutely stunning. Wherever you walk to, the view is beautiful. You will be lodged in the BnB. All I can say about it, is that it's very comfortable. You have access to a large kitchen and you can relax in the lounge. And Leon and Gillian are of course lovely people. They make you feel at home and help you with things as much as possible. I will definitely miss the guest house!

The guest house is a great place for volunteering. You will feel as you are at home. The work is very easy and the place is amazing. You will be in contact with nature, you will meet a lot of people and you will have really a good time there! Thanks Lion and Gill for taking care about me.

We have had an amazing experience at the guest house BnB. This was our first volunteer experience. We were there in September, when the season was almost over. The work was quite easy and light. It's very quiet, but the surroundings are beautiful and worth it. Leon and Gillian are also lovely people, they welcome you with open arms (Gillian bakes amazing cakes). They'll show you around the area, and take you to the highlights. We will miss them and the guest house, but hopefully we'll see each other again!

Leon and Gill are the most lovely people and made this experience absolutely uniqe and special. They were so kind and welcoming that I felt at home immediately, I will never forget them and am so grateful for every day I spent at the guest house. As there is not too much to do in the area except of course for walking through the stunning nature, they were kind enough to show me around the area, always telling me interesting stories about the places and I really enjoyed our conversations. The tasks were easy and we worked together as a team which made me feel like part of the family.

Este voluntariado ha ayudado a mejorar el inglés y a aprender cosas nuevas como la comunicación con otros viajeros ola confianza en el equipo, que con Leon y Gillian fue increíble. Es un lugar donde contactar contigo mismo y disfrutar de tu tiempo. En cambio si eres una persona muy inquieta o activa, deberás aprender a crear tus rutinas (caminar, entrenar, comunicarte…) para poder adaptarte bien al lugar, que está apartado de ciudades grandes y realmente tienes bastante tiempo libre. Hay muchas rutas locales y sitios para ver, yo he estado 2,5 meses y he hecho actividades como kayak o pesca.

La casa Bnb es un lugar fantástico para llevar a cabo esta experiencia de voluntariado. Leon y Gulian son una pareja increíble, nos han hecho sentir como en casa y les hemos cogido mucho cariño. Compartimos muchos momentos juntos, Gulian hace unos pasteles buenísimos! Es sin duda el mejor lugar para desconectar y disfrutar de la plena naturaleza. Sin duda repetiríamos está experiencia, en el mismo lugar!
