We had the greatest time volunteering here. The host was welcoming, kind, and always flexible. The tasks were clear and fair, and we also had plenty of time to explore the area. We learned a lot, met amazing people, and felt at home from day one. We would definitely recommend this place to future volunteers!

I'll always remember my time here. It was an amazing experience. I made good friends and got to travel around Sligo county. Mathieu is very flexible and welcoming.

I had the best time here helping the community! Mathieu and his family were amazing and made me feel super welcome! Mathieu is so friendly and kind and if you have any issues he will listen and do his best to help resolve them. He gave me and the other volunteers plenty of recommendations and would give us rides when he was available. The hours are set but also flexible. If you want an extra day off to go explore a different area that's totally possible! I was able to practice my French a bit and loved being in beautiful nature. I learned so much and would definitely return!

The experience was positive. Mathieu is a nice person and I liked his project, the working hours were respected and flexible, and I also had the opportunity to meet friendly people which made my stay more fun. You have a lot of free time but the house is quite isolated and the nearest bus stop is a 25-minute walk away, and the bus wasn't very frequent. When I was there, only two bikes were available. The mobile house was comfortable enough, even though the cleanliness and the beds could be improved. We had some problems with the water pressure, and sometimes taking a shower was difficult.

My experience with Mathieu was ok, I think there are many things that could be improved. The house is not so bad but a bit neglected. The hot water doesn't work properly, sometimes there's no water at all, and the place is generally quite dirty. I really recommend investing in beds and pillows because they are uncomfortable, we often woke up with back and neck pain. It's a shame because the project is interesting but not so well organized.
