I had a truly amazing time at Colleen's house, it was a huge contrast to my life in the city so I definitely had to adapt but Colleen made everything flow very well and I felt part of the family since the first day. I had a really good time learning how to feed the animals and getting very hands on everyday. Colleen was an amazing host!

My friend and I had an amazing time staying at the host! Colleen is a lovely person who made us feel at home with home cooked meals and lots of different stories. She gave us the opportunity to see many exiting places and introduced us to the Irish way of living. The amount of work we did was very fair and manageable. Colleen patiently explained how to do tasks in the most efficient way, which made everything feel easy and enjoyable. Overall we had a wonderful experience staying with Colleen, who is one of the kindest and liveliest people you will ever meet, and would highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of spending time volunteering on Colleen's beautiful farm in Ireland, and it was an experience I'll always treasure. Colleen is one of the kindest, most welcoming people you could hope to meet, generous with her time, knowledge, and stories. She made me feel part of the family from day one and truly cares about making her volunteers feel at home. The farm is full of the cutest animals and provides you with lots of opportunities to learn new skills. Thank you Colleen so much for everything!

I had a wonderful time at Colleen's house! The environment is nice and relaxing, the tasks are varied and interesting, and the balance between work time and free time was perfect. Colleen is a very generous and kind woman, full of stories to tell. The accommodations might feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but everything else around makes it totally worth it. I had an amazing experience in this place, thank you !
