Anna and Mike helped us in 2020 and also 2021.

Ashton came to help us in February for 1 month, however due to lockdown ended up staying for nearly 5 months. We enjoyed having Ashton around, his calm approach to any tasks, helpful attitude and willingness to help with anything needed.

We spent 8 wonderful weeks on Moorside Farm Campsite and absolutely loved our stay. The hosts immediately made us feel very welcome and were always very friendly, kind and thoughtful. The work was exactly as we imagined. Once we had finished the cleaning and rubbish round we enjoyed finding jobs to do around the site grounds and helping out where

We will really miss ‘Alison and Romy’ and the help they have given us over the last couple of months has been invaluable.

We are very happy to be this summer with Simon, Helena and the girls. They are one of the most good people we´ve meet. Simon and Helena helped us everytime, they were very kind. We love their girls, they are really good girls and we loved to spend time with them swimming in the pool, or playing a board game. This summer was amazing because we´ve

We loved having Elizabeth and Manuel to help us over the summer. Nothing was ever a problem and they were always kind and considerate.
Our children loved them and miss having them both around. They helped us with our business, animal and with the kids.
We wish you lots of luck in the future 😊

We had such a great experience with Sula and Nazareth helping us. They were always smiling, dancing, singing and brought such a happy vibe to our home!
Having such amazing helpers for our business and also for the kids to play with, was a great experience.
Miss you guys, hope all is going well with your new adventures 😊

We stayed at the campsite for 5 months and it was the loveliest experience.
Simon, Helena and the kids were super welcoming and warm, always taking us with them to their trips, having lunch together or playing in the garden. We really felt like being a part of the family.
The caravan is perfect and was just like a second home for us.
Helena is

The work was really easy to do, and Simon always adds fun to it, making horrible jokes you can't help but laugh at haha
In resume we had a peaceful and very happy time in Somerset, will definitely come back one day and totally recommend it!
We'll also always be grateful and miss you guys
lots of love,

Left by host for Workawayer (Lisa & Mark)
Mark and Lisa were a huge help to us over the winter period. Duties included cleaning the toilet and shower blocks and refuse collection. Also checking customers in and working alongside us on the campsite.
Easy communication and nothing was too much trouble. Always honest and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them both to other hosts, best of luck

Working with Simon & Helena was a great experience. We were going to arrive earlier than expected and we were graciously allowed to camp until our Workaway formally started, which helped us out enormously. The accommodation is great and it's like your own little piece of privacy within the campsite, and all needs were catered for. Work
… read more expectations were clearly laid out and nothing was too much trouble. Our duties included some light maintenance, mowing grass, emptying and sorting refuse bins/areas, cleaning and replenishing toilet/shower blocks, helping customers with wood for BBQ's, being point of contact when owners were absent, helping customers with queries and being friendly to ensure a good experience was had by visitors.
We ended up staying for 6 months during the campsite off-season and winter - the area is picturesque and on waking up one morning to a blanket of snow was wonderful. Helping out with moving the horses, feeding the hens and guinea pigs, the occasional dog sitting. We were pleased to help out this lovely family and were happy that they were able to take time out for breaks and holidays and felt happy that we were entrusted to be responsible in their absence with the day to day running of the site.
Both Simon & Helena are super friendly and I especially miss our chats over coffee around the aga (traditional kitchen oven), not forgetting some of the scrumptious cake!! For us this Workaway opened our eyes to life on a campsite and we actually moved on to a more formal paid position a few miles down the road, so for that also we will be eternally grateful. Was also great to bump into the family again, and see their smiling faces, down were we moved too.
The area itself typifies life in the English Countryside and the views of the Quantocks are fabulous.
This is a great Workaway and couldn't recommend it highly enough really. We really did feel appreciated all the time we were there.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We loved having ‘Maggie and Konrad’ to help us on our campsite. From the moment they arrived, nothing was ever an issue and they always approached tasks with a happy smile and willingness to get stuck in!
We enjoyed having an extra pair of hands to help us with daily tasks and the children LOVED playing with Maggie and Konrad.

We had such a wonderful time volunteering for Simon and Helena! They are incredibly kind and generous hosts who always made us welcome and comfortable. The accommodation is spectacular (the best we’ve experienced on Workaway). The work is easy and straightforward, we were on a regular morning schedule cleaning the campsite bathrooms and collecting

We were never bored with Simon and Helena, there’s always something fun going on. The girls are lovely, and we had a great time getting to know them and looking after them around the farm.
We can’t recommend this workaway highly enough :)
Thank you all for everything, we miss you and hope to see you again!
