I stayed with Tom for two weeks during June/ July 2018 at the start of the season and absolutely loved it. There is spacious staff house a two minute walk from the business which Tom and his wife Penny keep well stocked with delicious ingredients.

This was our first workaway and it was such a great experience! First of all, Tiverton is super pretty and you get to be by the ocean everyday, go fishing, hanging out at the lighthouse and most likely go on a whale watching trip.

Thanks for the great memories:).You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
