Liz was not only an incredible host, but also an incredibly kind and welcoming person. I really enjoyed my short time spent with her and I definitely recommend this host for other worldpackers looking to have a wonderful experience.

This was my first experience as a worldpacker, and it couldn't have been better! Once you get used to Elizabeth's rhythm, everything flows easily. She is a wonderful host, an AMAZING cook, and she knows a lot about Irish history. She also gives great recommendations for places to visit. The work can be a bit demanding at times, but nothing unmanageable, and there's also plenty of time to relax and explore. Depending on the season, you might stay in a chalet outside the house, but it has everything you need to feel comfortable. I truly enjoyed my time with Elizabeth, would definitely come back

The experience was Great! Elizabeth and Sean are wonderful people, they taught me a lot. It was such a pleasure to have met them in the beginning of my experience in Ireland. They were very supportive and kind with me. Totally recommend!

I spent around 10 days with Elisabeth and then most of the time at her brother's place. Staying with her was great! Most of the work was around the house and garden — cleaning, organizing, mowing the lawn, and similar tasks. The days were quite intense and full of little surprises, but I had so much fun and built a wonderful connection with Elisabeth! At her brother's place I lived in a mobile house, but the experience was amazing — there were several families who made me feel part of one big, warm community. Sean and everyone there are fantastic!!

I had a great stay at the guest house. I had a cozy room and even my own bathroom. Housekeeping was most of the work and also lawn mowing once a week (but its quite a huge garden too). I even prepared Irish breakfasts for guests. (I learnt it after watching Elizabeth). I recommend this stay for people who are experienced in housekeeping, who are self-starters and feel comfortable to work on their own and are organised and flexible, because you need to adapt quickly to all sorts of new situations and need to be willing to develop new skills. If you are like that, it will be fun :-).

Ute was a very positive and easy-going lady. And enjoyed good fun! She was very helpful, learned new skills and was a great with guests. We got to travel to west of Ireland for a brief, but fantastic trip. I highly recommend Ute to any potential WP host.... oh, she also makes a wonderful German speciality bread.... she full of life and I wish her well in her next chapter. Thank you Ute.
