I have spent a beautiful month during summer staying with Kate and John. Every aspect of my time with this cheerful and easy-going family was great, and I wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend this host. I have mostly worked with kids - they are gorgeous and friendly! I loved the two dogs too. The accommodation was very comfortable, and Kate and… read more

All the help i could have needed and a new friend. The children loved Michaela and she was full of ideas of activities to do with them. She was a great help in the Salon de The and a good painter.

Jon and Kate were great hosts, the perfect start to my workaway experience! The kids are gorgeous and energetic and fun to be with, and the whole family (and even the village!) make you feel at home straight away, a wonderful, relaxed and warm time in France.

I was supposed to stay for two weeks but I only stayed with Kate, John, Abi and Jaques for 5 days (for personal reasons).
I enjoyed the village, the views, the dogs and the company. I learnt how the tea room worked and enjoyed working at the gites.
I personally would have preferred more organisation and structure, but I was there in a… read more

I stayed five weeks at this family and it was great ! Very nice family and a wonderful village. I really liked to play with the kids and also the conversations with Kate and John were very nice. It was a good choice to start my workaway experience here ! I wish you just the best in the futur.

Francesca was great to have, she got on well with the kids straight away and was very helpful throughout the week, her painting was great, we only wish she could have stayed longer, she is welcome back anytime.

My first workaway experience has been really good staying with John and Kate, they made me feel very welcome and were extremely kind. The kids are great and even after a short time I was very sad to leave!
