Everything was amazing! The food, the surf community, the landscape. Overall the Irish hospitality can't be beaten. Everyone was very accommodating and made you feel welcomed as soon as you came. Wish I could've stayed longer.

I will remember this experience fondly. The people here have been well-chosen, especially Áine, who made me always feel so comfortable working alongside with her in the kitchen. She exudes leadership qualities and is incredibly talented. The experience allowed me to take some time away as I was able to use the sauna and hot tub in my free time. I had a comfortable place to sleep and in my time off I adored writing my book and heading for sunset swims. The kind hearted people I was surrounded with created a lively and beautiful atmosphere.Unequivocally, a place I would recommend.

I got to spend the last month working at the hostel, I cannot recommend this experience enough. Everyone was so lovely and made the work fun. Defiantly would recommend this trip for travelers looking to be outdoors (lots of swimming/hiking). The lodge will always hold a special place in my heart - thank you for everything!

This was by far one of my best travelling experiences ever. The entire BigStyle team and all the people living in the staff house are an amazing bunch of people. The work at the lodge is a lot of fun and you don't even think about it as „real“ work. The landscape and nature in Killadoon is absolutely breathtaking. This place is especially well suited for folks who are interested in surfing. I cannot stress enough how much I would recommend this place. It's definitely worth a trip :)

Volunteering at BigStyle has been truly amazing❤️ Shane, Áine, all the guys from the staff and the other volunteers made me feel at home from the beginning. The work was very pleasant and the tasks easy, I especially liked helping in the kitchen and making pizza on Saturday night. During your free hours in the weekend you can take part to surf/ yoga lesson or hikes they organise, and there's also a lovely pub where you can spend the evenings. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to be in the middle of nature and experience Irish culture.

The hostel is a special and magical place that will always have a piece of my heart. If you're looking for a wonderful community of people and the best views around this is the place to be. I would recommend the hostel to everyone, especially those looking to really immerse yourself in Irish culture and get more in touch with nature. I also learned so many new skills here! Much love.

With this being my first Worldpackers experience, my time with BigStyle really raised the bar for any following volunteer trips. Not only are you close to the sea and the most beautiful nature and views, but the people you will meet are the kindest souls who will make you feel right at home. I had the best time in Killadoon and cannot recommend this place enough!!

Pack your bags, get on a plane to Ireland, and get your ass over here. You won't regret it.

My time with the host has been amazing and I am so grateful for this beautiful experience. Killadoon is quiet and georgeus and the lodge is unique. Everything is wonderful around there but the best of all are the people that work in it. If you are looking for a nice spot with the best people, the host is the place. Thank you for the funny moments, for all that kidness and for making me feel at home.
