Kim and Gram are the sweetest couple. They were incredibly kind and I felt so welcomed into their community. The 2 year old is the cutest and funniest little guy, he was so much fun to mind. The sea kayaking was amazing and thrilling experience in the beautiful celtic sea. The mobile was spacious and cozy with everything I needed. Work was easy aswell. Fethard is in a wonderful location with beaches close by and with breathtaking scenery. I already miss it. It was one of the most extraordinary experiences. 100/100 would definitely recommend!

I had the most amazing time at the host. Graham and Kimberley are so lovely and accommodating. Great organisation and commutation of tasks and respect for work hours. Oisin is a lovely kid and a pleasure to mind. The area is also beautiful and while a ways out was accessible by bus right into town.

10/10 DO IT! My time at the host, while short, was so fun. Graham and Kimberley are very welcoming and have a real feel for team culture/collaboration. Since many of the workers/volunteers lived together on site, it made for an inclusive, welcoming experience, where you'll meet people from all over the world, AND locals alike. Fethard is small and quaint but cute, has everything you need, and is perfect for nature + sea lovers. :) My job as a social media creator was to join one tour a day to capture video content, and had complete freedom to edit anytime that fit into my sched.

Staying with the host was an incredible adventure! I loved every second of it. 🇮🇪 Graham, Kimberley and the whole team are lovely, kind, and professional — they truly care about your experience. They also made transportation super easy, so I didn't have to worry about how to get there at all. I joined kayaking tours, created content, went surfing, biking, and explored freely.. The accommodation is fully equipped, close to everything. Honestly, the only hard part was having to leave at the end. I HIGHLY recommend it — every moment was 101% worth it! Hope to be back soon! 🇮🇪☘️
