WE DISCOVERED a Noble House from the end of the 19th century. The house was uninhabited and the garden abandoned!

WE DREAMED to recover the house and to preserve the culture. To reclaim the garden is to preserve nature.

Mat is AMAZING! He is really part of our family that is coming back every year and every time we love the moments with him. Always polite, calm, enjoying helping everyone, very hard working and with good humour.

It was my first workaway experience back in 2016 but over the years became a second home and a family. Let's start with the place. Hostel itself is exeptional. I enjoyed just hanging out there in my spare time and definitely felt proud of what this place has to offer to both guests as well as people working there. Always clean and welcoming. Food… read more

Even now, with a few weeks distance, I can’t possibly summarise all the things I loved about the stay in a brief feedback. Generally, I entirely agree with the previous comments. It is hard to imagine a more genuinely welcoming place than this hostel and the team which really began to feel like a family. Due to organisational reasons I was lucky… read more

Lizzie was an absolute gem. She is really kind, well educated, warm and beautiful human. It was a pleasure and joy working together. She was always flexible and available to help in different areas in our hostel. What ever task we gave Lizzie she did thoroughly and neatly. The communication with her always was very clear and efficient and we loved… read more

Magda is 10 out of 10! :) She is an energetic polish girl with a latin soul always ready to dance and sing and to cheer up the whole room with her big smile. It's great to have her around! All the tasks that were put in front of her were always delivered with no issues. She also learns new things really fast and always with joy. And she really… read more

Patrick is just wonderful! It's like having a brother who is taking care of the family or he can be even your doctor and a shoulder to cry after hurting your toe or having a cold. And he is also a really fun person to work with and share the tasks. He was one of our receptionists and both guests and the whole team loved him. Always ready to jump… read more

It is hard to put it into words how amazing my time was in the hostel. Try to imagine the very best version of volunteering you can, then double or triple it and you might be still underestimating the experience you can gain from working here. From the very first moment, the staff is really like family, they want you to feel home and help you… read more

The tasks are very well assigned and clearly explained, you know perfectly well what you're expected of and… read more
