Vom Workawayer (Sif & Jeanette) für Host
This was our first experience as workaways, and we had a lovely time at Andy and Bekis place. They are very warm and welcoming and really made us feel at home in their beautiful home. We did some painting, gardening and helped with the animals when needed. They were also very helpful about things to go and see in the area. Would love to go and

Vom Host für Workawayer (Glen & Jo)
Glen and Jo stayed with us for a week and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Not only did they take care of all of our animals (horses, dogs and chickens) while we were away, but we were very relaxed knowing that there were two safe pairs of hands looking after everything in our absence. We returned home to a delicious homemade pie, a spotless

We pet sat for Andy and Beki for a week while they took a well deserved family holiday.
They welcomed us into their charming home in the country with such warmth. We immediately felt at home there. We enjoyed the lovely dinner Beki made and had a very relaxed evening with them and their daughter prior to them leaving the next morning.
Beki and
… read more Andy are very good communicators both verbally and via WhatsApp. We never had to ask any questions. They also have a very detailed information pack for their air bnb which they left for us (anything from info about the house all the way to suggestions of what to do in the area).
Their 4 dogs are the most obedient dogs we ever had the pleasure of taking care of, which made our stay easy and enjoyable.
Taking care of the 2 horses and 2 chickens was also very easy. Beki took care in explaining everything about the animals and Andy showed us everything we needed to know about the house and equipment.
Their home is within a short drive to some of the most beautiful villages in the area where you can wonder around feeling like you are in a totally different world. The locals we met are very friendly. It is indeed a charming countryside.
We would be very happy to come back and help with anything required if we are back in the area.
We can highly recommend spending time working and helping them. They are a lovely couple and we feel like we made new friends. Thank you guys for choosing us.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We stayed with Beky and Andy for three weeks in August and it was our first experience with Workaway. We were very lucky to meet these wonderful family. During the day we fed the animals and took care of them and we did very simple house chores. We met also Tilly and Johanna, all of them were always really warm toward us and we had a lot of fun.

Thank a lot for the wonderful experience and for having welcomed us in your family.

Vom Workawayer (Maricela Yaemi & Sandy) für Host
This was our first Workaway experience and we loved it, we definitely recommend it.
Beki and Andy are a lovely couple that received us with a hug. We also meet their daughter Tilly; the whole family was very welcoming and friendly from the start, we never felt we were intruding. Beki its a very good cook, she prepare us some dinners, which we
… read more enjoy having dinner together and we have to say that Andy is a very good story teller, we loved listening to each of their stories.
We accompany them on a camp to sell dinners, this was in the camp where Tilly works and it was the first time they sold their pizzas and we have to say that it was a success!
The dogs were very friendly and well behaved, and they like to be around people, so they followed us everywhere. We walked the dogs in the morning and then we feed all the animals: dogs, horses, chickens and koi fishes. We helped with some painting projects and with the garden, and we had lots of free. The room they shared with us was at the back of the house with its own bathroom, so we had privacy when needed.
When the moment to leave arrived and we went to the train station, it felt like a long time had passed. We can't thank you enough for everything! Hopefully we would see you all again someday.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Workawayer (Amelie) für Host
I had a fantastic time with Beki and Andy helping out with all sorts of things like walking the dogs, feeding the horses, painting shutters and chopping wood.

Amelie stayed with us for 3 weeks in March 2023 and we absolutely loved having her here. She was a great addition to our small team.

Vom Workawayer (Tom) für Host
I couldn’t have wished for anything more from my first workaway experience. Beki and Andy are a lovely sociable couple who made Amy and I feel like part of the family from the first moment. They took great pride in showing us the local area and helped us enjoy the culture of the Dordogne region, thank you so much!
We stayed with them for a month
… read more and in that time we tackled a range of jobs across the house and gardens which included making a pallet compost bin, landscaping, erecting a fence, painting and decorating and preparing the vegetable garden for the new season. We’re already missing the morning dogwalks and tales of Andy’s rugby tours and hope that we’ll get chance to return to this beautiful part of France in the future.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Tom and Amy stayed with us for a month in March 2023 and they were great company. They were hard working and skilful with all sorts of jobs from carpentry to painting and even dog grooming!

Vom Workawayer (Tallbird) für Host
Tom & I loved our month spent in France with Beki & Andy, they’re such a lovely, fun couple, generous, and excellent cooks too. We felt very lucky to stay in their wonderful cottage, and be taken care of so well, it motivated us to work hard to repay their kindness. Great variety of tasks including building a double compost bin using pallets,

We loved all the animals, especially Ned Lasso ;) I miss having the chickens follow me about in the garden, walking the dogs, and feeding the horses. Our fab hosts took us out exploring the Dordogne - to markets, view-points and hill-top villages (thank you!). We look forward to returning one day, and also seeing Tilly’s house transformed!Dieser Workawayer hat sich dafür entschieden, sein Profil privat zu schalten, kann aber von anderen Workawayern bezüglich dieses Feedbacks kontaktiert werden.

Vom Workawayer (Federico) für Host
We stayed at Beki and Andy’s house for 2 weeks in February 2023 as our first experience as workawayers. We are firmly convinced that we couldn’t have found better hosts for our start on this website. We immediately got to know each other due to the fact that Beki, Andy and their daughter Tilly are some of the most sociable, kind, and funny people
… read more we could have possibly met. We enjoyed our staying very very much, they were always available for everything we needed and the work we have done most of the times was really enjoyable and we did it with no pressure. We have learned lots of things, in particular especially about dordogne and its interesting stories and we have improved a lot our English too. It was an amazing experience and we think that it couldn’t have gone any better, we hope Beki, Andy and Tilly enjoyed our staying at least a half as much we enjoyed it. We are looking forward to come back when we will have time, if there will be the possibility.

Federico and Tommaso visited us for a couple of weeks in February 2023 and we soon became great friends. They are intelligent, funny, hard working, have a great sense of humour…. and they make fantastic pizzas and carbonara pasta! They completed many varied projects and were always keen to learn and help out. I would highly recommend them and hope

Vom Host für Workawayer (Agata)
We were lucky enough to have Agata and Justyna stay with us in November 2015. They were hard working, reliable, gentle and confident with the animals and great fun to have around - I couldn't recommend them highly enough! Good luck with your future travels girls and please come and see us again!
