A very enriching experience. Annie, Pete and Gus are simply the best. They will make sure to include you in their cultural and very enjoyable activities. Both Annie and Pete are well-informed people, so you can talk to them about a lot of things and learn too. I always felt like I was surrounded by nice people, family and friends. Everyone who frequents the house. I totally recommend this position, especially if you like dancing, music and nature.

My period was in Nov/Dec, it was a challenge for me to get used to the cold inside the house, especially my room, but electric blankets, duvets and clothes were provided and the dining room was always warm and for group interaction. It's a historic country house, it's like traveling back in time and it can be a little difficult for those who aren't used to farms, but it's an enriching experience that added a lot to my trip! ✨️ The people are kind, everyone welcomed me and was available for my needs. I had a lot of leisure time. I hope to see you guys in the summer! Thank you!!! 🫶

Annie and Pete were amazing hosts throughout our whole experience! Definitely went out of our comfort zone however, we believe that is essential for growth and learning. We will miss the amazing dances and yummy soups :) Wishing all your family and Juno all the best for the rest of year. Cheers from Tassie!

Annie, Pete and Gus are absolutely fantastic people! They will make sure that you have everything you need and make you part of the family. They will teach you how to Irish/Scottish country dance in their free time, cook a delicious soup or curry for meals and there will be an array of jobs to be done so you wont get bored. We had a wonderful experience here, we gained a lot of knowledge on Irish culture and sustainable living! However doing this experience you will need to step quite far out of your comfort zone as their way of living is not for everyone, the house is large, cold and dusty.

We want to say the biggest thank you to Annie, Pete and all of their family and friends for making the guest house and Ballinrobe feel like home. The Work was a breeze, Some jobs were obviously harder than others but nothing strenuous. The house is beautiful, a tad cold in the later months but absolutely wonderful. And the best part of all is the music and dancing ofcourse. At least 3 times a week we were invited to an outing of sorts, either a music session in the local pub or in Galway or dance nights held at the house. We would highly recommend and can't wait to return.

This is my first volunteer and I couldn't be more gratefull. I was scared becose this is my first time that traveling alone to another country, but Annie and Pet, and everybody in the house, make you feel part of their family. The task are easy and you are working whit other volunteers, so you have time to enjoy the culture and the nature. You can meet people from different countries and see films or play cards whit them. If you are doubtfull about coming here, don't think too much and just do it, because you won't regret it. This house is pure love!

It was an incredible experience. Annie and pete are wonderful people so they family and friends! I wouldn't hesitate to do this adventure again. Dancing irish sets, enjoying live music, swimming in the lake, getting relaxed with nature. Disconecting myself from the city polution and noise, working in the garden and learning many things. Sharing with different people including volunteers like you! I loved my time in the guest house! I feel so grateful to have had this opportunity

The experience at the guest house was really great. I had the chance to meet interesting people from all over the world, the presence of many musicians made the house full of energy. In addition, traditional dances were taking place which were very exciting. The work is not hard and the working hours are flexible. I recommend this experience!

Without a doubt, a great experience that I encourage anyone to have. I can't wait to go back
