A great volunteer opportunity! the guest house is in such a special location, within a welcoming community. The team is amazing, with Brenda and Sean making sure your time on Inishmore is enjoyable. My work included cooking, cleaning, and helping out at reception. Hours were respected, and your contribution is greatly appreciated. This left plenty of time to explore every corner of the island. There's lots of food for cooking, and the volunteer accommodation is comfortable and in a separate house from the lodge guests, giving you privacy. This experience is absolutely worth applying for!!

I immensely enjoyed my stay at the guest house on Inishmore! The owner, Sean, and the manager, Brenda, were incredibly kind. Brenda trained and supervised us, and was respectful of our agreed time commitment. I also enjoyed taking on some admin work. The only bad experience I had was with another volunteer. The location is amazing for nature lovers. There are stunning cliffs and a beautiful beach very close by, for those fine with cold waters. It's a bit far away from town, so I recommend it for people who are happy to entertain themselves with e.g. a good book in the evening.

I couldn't have asked for a better first world packers experience, Seán and Brenda were beyond amazing and passionate about what they do. The lodge is in the perfect spot, right next to a beach and popular sites but you still get to feel like you're not always around a crowd, perfect if you love being outside and walking. I am already missing Inis Mór and cannot wait to go back!!!

The guest house is a great experience, you will be on an Island inside an Island (Ireland), which can make things very fun since you will have the chance to explore the whereabouts. The volunteers get a nice room and Seàn ensures the food is healthy. If you travel on a tight budget you won't be seeing much of an urban scene since you need the ferry to cross to Galway. I really enjoyed my experience and I am very grateful for all the opportunities given, a special thanks to Claire, our volunteer colleague for such fun times, and Brenda, the manager. Last but not least, Seàn is very kind.
