I had the most wonderful experience at build school. I met the most lovely people on the course that I will definitely be staying in touch with to help on building projects in the future. Taught us to build a house from scratch. I loved every minute and the food was just amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone!

Such a beautiful place and the food was amazing. A lovely, vibrant, open, creative environment. A must go for anyone looking to enjoy nature and engage with open-minded people. The instructors on the building course were so good and made learning the concepts enjoyable and gave us all confidence to try our own projects.

A fabulous place to stay. Nestled amongst 50 acres of tranquil countryside. You can choose to sit inside the cosy communal area with a book, by the stove or wander through the beautiful permaculture garden. The staff are really welcoming and have lots of information to share about places to visit in the locality. The food is delicious, nourishing and prepared with care and attention. You feel like you're part of a big family when you're there.

What a wonderful warm, friendly and inspiring place. Staff are superb, the food is excellent and I felt very well looked after. The common space is stunning and so comfortable to be in, especially when the fire is lit.Build School is great fun!

Gorgeous grounds, friendly staff, delicious food, and lovely room. Highly recommend coming to one of the courses they host, and make sure you go on the curated walks around the grounds to get the full experience. Couldn't recommend the place more highly.

Lovely comfortable room, welcoming and very friendly staff, offered me absolutely everything I could’ve needed and gave me a nice tour of the place. The breakfast was just lovely too, especially the creamy porridge and homemade nut butter, would definitely recommend it to those looking to stay in the Lisdoonvarna area or for those who just want a quiet retreat.

Amazing enterprise in a great setting. Great teachers - Harrison and Cian shared their knowledge and skills. Delicious food. A super setup. I really enjoyed the chats with other guests in the library on the first evening. I will definitely go back to do more courses.
