Enjoyed my time in the hotel, it's a great place to be if you want a breather from the city. The hosts, Peter & Loretta looked after me very well during my time there - provided me with my own room, fed me delicious meals every night and took me out on a drive to see Achill Island. Just be mindful about public transport in running to and from the hotel as it comes every 2 hours. Make sure to try a Guinness and a Baby Guinness here!

Loretta and Peter and nice people with a small family run business. The town is quiet and the landscape is beautiful. I enjoyed my calm time on Achill Island very much. Meeting locals can be a hoot and I think it is an accurate picture of Irish culture. Thanks for all the things :)

Great place to go. Peter, Loretta and K are excellent people, they treat you as one more since the first day. I regret not having more time there. If you have the chance to go, without a doubt apply. I have improved my English and could speak with local people at the bar. it's a quiet place so if you want to go party, it's not your best option. the food is delicious. Furthermore, there are some beaches that are awesome.

The hotel is a beautiful, quiet place with very kind people, Loretta and Peter are really kind. The town is small but if you like nature, walking and spending time with yourself, this is the right place. This was my first experience as a volunteer in Ireland and I recommend it if you want to connect with the country culture. The staff and the locals are very nice and welcoming.

Peter provides with the three meals and the private room. However, he is a person who is not prepared to have international volunteers. Out of the 6 weeks I was there, 5 weeks I worked overtime and only had 1 day off, and you never know what your schedule or day off is in advance because he doesn't know how to plan or communicate. If you think about going to a pub at night he gives you a curfew (12-1am) and if you are late you can get scolded as if you were 13 yo or find yourself locked out. He was also very disrespectful to me, condescending and not easy to talk to nor to his wife.

Peter and Loretta are kind to take care of you like one of their own and entrust you with responsibility in the bar/restaurant and/or hotel. The hotel is in a great spot, near the entrance to the Great Western Greenway, supermarket, pharmacy, two other pubs, and in the heart of the hotel, the gateway to the incredible island. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly, and the living quarters are very comfortable. Thanks to the hosts, you'll have a bike to borrow to explore further, as well as many a night at the bar getting to know each other, other locals, and tourists passing through.

O lugar é lindo, a equipe de trabalho é maravilhosa, mas se você precisa trabalhar, estudar ou fazer terapia é melhor rever, por que a Internet não funciona bem e não tem um lugar específico para você fazer reuniões, pois a sala que seria para isso, lá o sinal é fraco, melhor lugar é a recepção e eles não gostam que você fique por lá. Não é possível ter um final de semana de folga, e as vezes o horário de trabalho é quebrado, trabalha de manhã e a noite, às folgas se você não deixar fixo, você só sabe se está em cima da hora, sem tempo para planejar. Se gostar de natureza esse é o local!!
