I volunteered here in early 2024 and enjoyed it very much. All my tasks where fully listed and relayed before I arrived. Nick and Alison's place is set in expansive Greenery with some of the best accommodation. I am from a similar part of the UK to Nick and Alison, so enjoyed their company both at work and socialising.
Christian came to stay with us in the Spring and was a really pleasant and knowledgable guy. He was happy to do all jobs we asked and brought lots of equipment with him.

Communication was great from start to finish. Penny was a nice person and pleasant to be around. She did some light gardening with us for a week and left her room tidy. We wish her luck with her onward workaway experiences.

This is a lovely property in a beautiful and tranquil part of France. The hosts also work constantly on the property, and have put a tremendous amount of maintenance and restoration into their gorgeous home. Nick and Allison are both talented people, and my stay here was special in several ways. I was able to stay in the large suite in the main

Allison loves to cook, and every evening after working and running after the animals, she prepared a delicious meal with copious desserts! I enjoyed my time here, especially pruning the large Roses, which were still blooming in the pleasant climate in this part of the world. Allison gave me a nice tour of the nearby villages as well. I highly recommend!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Gordon)
Gordon was a great find and epitomised everything good about workaway. He fitted in immediately and was willing to have a go at most things. He works well on his own and is diligent and hard working. He has multiple skills was tidy and did not leave stuff around the property which is a particular niggle of mine. I would recommend Gordon to anyone

I stayed with Allison and Nick for three weeks and found it to be a very enjoyable experience. The accommodation provided was of a very high standard with it's own kitchen and bathrooms, although there was no need to do any cooking as Allison provided excellent meals throughout my stay.
The work I carried out was mostly property maintenance, and

The grounds of the property are extensive and in a very pretty location. The nearest small village has a cafe/restaurant and was a 10 minute walk away. Allison and Nick were always available to drive to Auvillar, the nearest town, and I walked back to the house via the Chemin de St Jacques.
Nick and Allison are excellent hosts, very relaxed and kind. The two dogs and the cat are also very nice. I can thoroughly recommend staying with them all!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Vero)
We had a great 2 weeks with Vero and she was very easy to get along with. She worked in the garden and did some woodwork preparation for decorating in the hallway when the weather was bad. She also did some housework for me which was really appreciated. Meal times were easy and she was happy to cook in the kitchen with me or on her own and enjoyed

I had a wonderful stay with Allison and Nick. You will hardly find a nicer house, it's a wonderful place to life and work in. The work is varied and not too difficult. It is helpful if you like working independent. A good place to hike and enjoy nature. I'd like to come back and see how big Ruby has gotten and if she is following yet 😊 thanks for

Brian was a very conscientious worker and made a great job of our numerous shutters. Thank you so much for all your hard work, we really appreciate your help.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Claire)
Being first time Workaway hosts we were not entirely sure how things worked or what to expect. However we hit it off immediately with claire and were on the same wavelength. She was easy going, cheerful, happy and willing to tackle almost anything. She did weeding, gardening and cleared an overgrown area around our small lake as well as sanded and

We would 100% recommend her to anyone and would welcome her back with open arms if she wanted to return. Good luck with your ongoing Workaways a Claire. We miss you already.

Allison and Nick are amazing hosts!! 💑
I was originally going for 2 weeks, ended up staying 3 and could have easily stayed for longer - I was sad to leave!
During my time there I was made to feel incredibly welcome from the start, and the three of us soon fell into an easy rythum of work, catching up over meal times and relaxing in the

It is a beautiful property that makes you feel proud to have a small part in! I spent most of my time in the garden: stripping ivy, transforming the lake, pruning trees, weeding, digging over the veggie patch and generally getting the property ready for there guests!
Instructions were easily and clearly discussed the night before, with all the necessary tools provided and a nice balance of being “left alone to get on with it” and knowing there was always someone close by if you had questions was soon created!
Allison and Nick go above and beyond to look after you and are very generous and mindful of doing ‘the right thing’ by you.
I unreservedly recommend Allison and Nick as wonderful hosts and hope that’s I’m lucky enough to return sometime 🏡💑💖Dieser Workawayer hat sich dafür entschieden, sein Profil privat zu schalten, kann aber von anderen Workawayern bezüglich dieses Feedbacks kontaktiert werden.
