This was truely a wonderful experience. We worked on a 200+ year old rock wall, something we don't have in Australia and the weather held out for all 9 days. I learnt so much and can take this new found knowledge with me. Howard is the perfect gentleman & has a lot on his plate with such a large project with many years of renovations ahead of him. I was treated to wonderful dinners & great conversation. I highly recommend this adventure but only if you're ready & willing to work & put in the honest effort & hours. I look forward to returning to help out again some day. Thank you Howard!!🦘🦘🦘

Me and my partner Ben spent two weeks at the home and it was a great time. We learnt new skills, enjoyed the rural life and felt very welcome. Howard and his mate Glyn were always up for a good conversation, we took turns cooking and exchanged experiences. The two dogs, Angus and Minky are super lovely and always happy to be taken on a walk. Highly recommend voluntary work at this beautiful place and we'd be happy to come back one day.

Me and Johanna really loved our time with Howard at the home. Howard is dedicated to the project he has going and is more than happy to get volunteers involved with all different tasks. He will thoroughly go through each task with you so you feel comfortable in what you are doing and is happy to answer any questions you have. You will be fed very well in return for some good work and will take turns in cooking each evening. We really enjoyed spending time with Howard and socialising over dinner with his friend Glyn with good conversation and some great puds :) Also lovely dogs!

My partner and I stayed with Howard for a week and had a great experience, if you're willing to get your hands dirty and get stuck in, this ones for you. We learnt many skills and shared a lot of stories with one another, Howard is a top guy! The home was welcoming and warm as well as the food. The 2 dogs were super sweet and their were also bicycles available to use. Highly recommend, we will be back, until then. 👋 🇮🇪🦮🍽

We spent 8 days at the home with Howard and his mate Glyn. A very entertaining duo to say the least. We had an amazing week learning about the area and sharing stories. The accomodation is perfect and the food was great. You will be expected to put in some hearty manual labour during your working days. If you're up for that kind of thing you'll have a great time. Cheers guys!
