Jo and Daz truly are as good as advertised. I couldn’t have hoped for a warmer welcome for both me and my dog. They have two lovable dogs themselves (dear Mr. Chadwick and cuddly Aubry…) It was a joy for me to see my dog play and roam with them through the French countryside. The gîte they provide you is moreover very comfortable and you will want… read more

We had a great first workaway experience with Jo and Daz! They were very friendly and made us feel really welcome, and the accomodation and food provided was great!
We spent two weeks with them, the work wasn't bad at all, we got to do a variety of jobs including cutting and stacking firewood, gardening, trimming trees/bushes, building a… read more

Arrived as a stranger - parted as a friend! Staying with Jo and Daz was exactly the kind of experience I’ve been looking for. I learned new things every day during these two and a half weeks, not only in terms of work but also regarding all the benefits of rural life on body and soul. I spent most of my days outside, the place and its surroundings… read more

Barbara spent 16 nights with us in Oct '15 and worked like a horse, she didn't flinch at a single one of the many various tasks she was given here, form work in and around the nursery, sawing logs, dumper truck driving, brush-cutting with a big mean machine, after builders cleaning, cooking, loving our pets and walking the hounds. She was very… read more

Jo and Daz were our first workaway experience, and they certainly set the bar high! We were with them for 2 weeks, and it was a great time. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, providing us with lots of food, care and laughs. They even took us out to eat to local bars and restaurants, which was really fun. There are many… read more

This was our first workaway experience and to be honest, we weren't entirely sure what to expect! However, our apprehensions we're removed as we immediately felt very welcome by Jo and Daz, and their two lovely dogs! The house was lovely and the… read more

It was my first experience work away with Chloé, Elliott, Tom, Dareen, and Jo' and that was very nice.
Dareen and Jo' live in a very lovely place near Angoulême.
During two weeks we worked with Jo to built a wall, and that was a good experience for me.
And everybody helped me to perfection my english language.
Thank's for all.

Jo and Daz are a great couple who made me feel very welcome at their beautiful chateau in rural France. The house and location are both absolutely stunning - the pictures don't do it justice. I spent two weeks helping to build a dry stone wall which was a completely new experience for me so I learnt a lot during my stay. Daz offered on many… read more
