After working 6 out of 7 days I was there, I was woken up with a knock on my door at 8 am. I walked over to Conors house and he told me I needed to pack all of my stuff and leave because him housing me in this house was a breach of contract that he had with the Irish Government to house Ukrainian Refugees. I was then on my own for housing and food. I liked Conor originally, but after being yelled at for saying good morning to a coworker and just general dealing with him not caring about me at all I was over it. Lunch was also forgotten multiple times. I worked ~50 hours doing construction work

Conor and Laura and their children were so welcoming and kind right from the start of my stay. I loved being in country island and going on bike rides and walks. The accomodation is more than you could ever need. I had a great time bonding with Conor whilst we worked on building his house, he was even kind enough to take me to the local pub to drink Irish Guinness together. Overall I wish I was there for longer, Thankyou Conor and Laura once again. ❤️

My experience with Mr Conor, his wife and daughter was very good. They are very kind, respectful and fair. They taught me many things, I was able to practice and learn English with them, I learned about their culture and their history. The housing is very comfortable, it has everything a person needs to be comfortable. They speak very good English without accents, the internet is good and there is a bicycle available for you to explore the region.
