I stayed for a month and mainly worked with 1-3 other volunteers and the manager, Brenda. PROS: Brenda went above and beyond to create a welcoming environment, even doing extra work to ensure we had the best possible experience; Sean or Brenda drove us to town and elsewhere when possible; Shifts ended at 12:30pm or 3:00pm, so plenty of free time; Was given full access to the kitchen and all the food, could put in requests for ingredients; Flexible schedule. CONS: Most shops/cafes (except for pubs) close around 4:00/5:00pm; Sean was at times unclear with his expectations and instructions.

As I write this review, I'm SO upset to be leaving the guest house. It truly felt like a home away from home and its own little oasis on Inishmore. Sean is a very kind host who always made sure the volunteers had everything they needed. And I can't say enough that will encapsulate how amazing the manager, Brenda, is. She is so funny, caring, and supportive and meeting her was one of the best parts of this experience. This experience let me relax in the beautiful Irish countryside, meet new people and experience new things. I would highly recommend this position to anyone!

Hi to everybody! I lived a very nice expeience in the guest house Walker Lodge, i felt very well with the host Sean, a local gentleman of the island, with Brenda the manager, a mexican girl very friendly, aware and wise and with the other volounteers. The landscape of the island is awesome, the location is in a peacefull zone, ideal for relax, hike, swim and meditation, but if you want to live the local social life there is some pub at 25 minutes of bike where they often play Irish music and serve tasty beers. I really enjoy my stay, i met very nice people and i practised my english. Bye bye.

A great volunteer opportunity! the guest house is in such a special location, within a welcoming community. The team is amazing, with Brenda and Sean making sure your time on Inishmore is enjoyable. My work included cooking, cleaning, and helping out at reception. Hours were respected, and your contribution is greatly appreciated. This left plenty of time to explore every corner of the island. There's lots of food for cooking, and the volunteer accommodation is comfortable and in a separate house from the lodge guests, giving you privacy. This experience is absolutely worth applying for!!

I immensely enjoyed my stay at the guest house on Inishmore! The owner, Sean, and the manager, Brenda, were incredibly kind. Brenda trained and supervised us, and was respectful of our agreed time commitment. I also enjoyed taking on some admin work. The only bad experience I had was with another volunteer. The location is amazing for nature lovers. There are stunning cliffs and a beautiful beach very close by, for those fine with cold waters. It's a bit far away from town, so I recommend it for people who are happy to entertain themselves with e.g. a good book in the evening.

I couldn't have asked for a better first world packers experience, Seán and Brenda were beyond amazing and passionate about what they do. The lodge is in the perfect spot, right next to a beach and popular sites but you still get to feel like you're not always around a crowd, perfect if you love being outside and walking. I am already missing Inis Mór and cannot wait to go back!!!

The guest house is a great experience, you will be on an Island inside an Island (Ireland), which can make things very fun since you will have the chance to explore the whereabouts. The volunteers get a nice room and Seàn ensures the food is healthy. If you travel on a tight budget you won't be seeing much of an urban scene since you need the ferry to cross to Galway. I really enjoyed my experience and I am very grateful for all the opportunities given, a special thanks to Claire, our volunteer colleague for such fun times, and Brenda, the manager. Last but not least, Seàn is very kind.

It was an enriching experience. I was able to learn about life on the island and meet the locals. We also had our bikes to explore the place. Thanks to Sean and Brenda for their hospitality.

I volunteered here for a short time and had both positive and negative experiences. Meals were generous with plenty of variety, the other volunteers were kind and the quiet location with private rooms, bicycles, beautiful area and even the cats made it enjoyable. Brenda was warm, open and supportive and the daily tasks were light and manageable. Unfortunately, interactions with Sean felt disrespectful sometimes; when I shared feedback, he denied ever hearing such concerns, although others had raised them before (e.g. on Worldpackers or at the Lodge). This led me to leave earlier than planned.
