“Our experience here was truly wonderful. We spent two full months in this beautiful and peaceful place in the north of Donegal. The entire property is surrounded by nature, and there are so many breathtaking places nearby to visit.
The team was incredibly welcoming and supportive from the very first day, making us feel completely at home. We are deeply grateful to everyone for the kindness and generosity they showed us ... Although the work kept us busy, we always had our days off together ... which gave us the chance to rest, recharge, and explore many beautiful places in the surrounding area.
Siubhan and Ciaran are two very dedicated and hard working individuals who care deeply about their work, family, and the well-being of both their staff and guests. We are truly grateful to them for their generosity and hospitality. They were, without a doubt, the best hosts we could have asked for ... We have truly left a part of our hearts in this wonderful place, and we will truly miss it.
We definitely recommend this place 100%!”

“We had the pleasure to spend our summer here, for 2 and a half months. We fell in love with Donegal and this area is especially unique. During our time here, we explored many places ... It’s a very good location to reach many excellent places nearby easily by foot, busses or hitchhiking. The area was so amazing and beautiful that we were really sad to leave ... As Vegans, we had no problem finding alternatives both at restaurants and grocery stores ... We were part of a very supportive team who we could rely on and trust. Everyone was so kind, friendly and welcoming! We really enjoyed working here as we had different positions and tasks, so the job was never boring! We grew a lot professionally and learn many new things. Thank you so much Siubhán & Ciaran!”

“We absolutely loved our 2 months at the mill! From the beginning we felt so welcomed by Siubhán, Ciaran, and the whole team. The staff were super friendly and always offered us rides. The friends we made were the highlight of our experience and we miss everyone already!
We appreciated how accommodating Siubhán was in the type of work and amount of hours we did. Her communication was excellent; always kind, honest, and responsive. Siubhán and Ciaran both went of their way to make our experience the best it could be.
The property is beautiful!! The surrounding area has lots to do - some highlights were Tramore beach, Tory island, and Glenveagh park. Dunfanaghy is a cute town and we loved grabbing a pint at Patsy Dan’s with a pizza from The Rusty Oven next door.
Thanks again so much to the whole team for making our summer such an excellent one. Lots of love to you all and we hope to cross paths again one day!”
