Bigstyle will always hold a special place in my heart! It's a true irish experience being out on the west coast, the work is super fun and easy and living with all the staff is such good craic. Feel so sad after leaving, all these people are truly special. I would definitely recommend staying longer (over a month) to truly get involved in the community. The nature is unreal - it's in the middle of the country side, far away from any the hostel town. It was amazing to slow down my pace of life and enjoy peoples company and simplicity. Loveeee this place, miss it all already 🫶🏻

This place is very special, especially because of the people. Everyone is friendly and very welcoming. I recommend it above all to the ones who enjoy tranquillity and nature. It is perfect for walking, surfing if the weather permits, or visiting the surroundings. This place is so peaceful and perfect to disconnect from the routine. You'll learn to be happy with little things, and know yourself better. It has been a very positive experience for me and I will miss it a lot🫶

Everything was amazing! The food, the surf community, the landscape. Overall the Irish hospitality can't be beaten. Everyone was very accommodating and made you feel welcomed as soon as you came. Wish I could've stayed longer.

I will remember this experience fondly. The people here have been well-chosen, especially Áine, who made me always feel so comfortable working alongside with her in the kitchen. She exudes leadership qualities and is incredibly talented. The experience allowed me to take some time away as I was able to use the sauna and hot tub in my free time. I had a comfortable place to sleep and in my time off I adored writing my book and heading for sunset swims. The kind hearted people I was surrounded with created a lively and beautiful atmosphere.Unequivocally, a place I would recommend.

I got to spend the last month working at the hostel, I cannot recommend this experience enough. Everyone was so lovely and made the work fun. Defiantly would recommend this trip for travelers looking to be outdoors (lots of swimming/hiking). The lodge will always hold a special place in my heart - thank you for everything!

This was by far one of my best travelling experiences ever. The entire BigStyle team and all the people living in the staff house are an amazing bunch of people. The work at the lodge is a lot of fun and you don't even think about it as „real“ work. The landscape and nature in Killadoon is absolutely breathtaking. This place is especially well suited for folks who are interested in surfing. I cannot stress enough how much I would recommend this place. It's definitely worth a trip :)

Volunteering at BigStyle has been truly amazing❤️ Shane, Áine, all the guys from the staff and the other volunteers made me feel at home from the beginning. The work was very pleasant and the tasks easy, I especially liked helping in the kitchen and making pizza on Saturday night. During your free hours in the weekend you can take part to surf/ yoga lesson or hikes they organise, and there's also a lovely pub where you can spend the evenings. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to be in the middle of nature and experience Irish culture.

The hostel is a special and magical place that will always have a piece of my heart. If you're looking for a wonderful community of people and the best views around this is the place to be. I would recommend the hostel to everyone, especially those looking to really immerse yourself in Irish culture and get more in touch with nature. I also learned so many new skills here! Much love.
