I loved the experience! Erin and Sally are very sweet and always there for you. There's also a great atmosphere with the rest of the team and the other volunteers. The tasks are easy, and you have the afternoons and two full days off to explore the area. The place is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the Irish culture is very present. I'd love to come back soon!

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel for two weeks! Erin and Sally were really clear about what they wanted us to do each day, and were happy to be flexible about days off and working hours if needed. The other volunteers were also all super friendly and felt like a little family. The town is quite small but there are so many amazing walks to do nearby and the locals are mostly super friendly and happy to have a chat as well. Absolutely amazing first Worldpackers experience! 😍
