What a lovely week I spent with Catherine and Aramis! Catherine is very easy to talk to, we had many interesting conversations while having dinner or drinking a glass or Muscadet.
Yet it was also no problen to have some time for my own from time to time, which I appreciated as well. I was doing some small jobs in the garden like planting a tree… read more

We spent 2 weeks at Catherine's. She is so sweet and easy-going. At the same time, she is a very hard worker herself. She always made us feel at home, making sure we had what we needed and frequently inviting us to sit out on the deck withher and have some Muscadet. The work entailed getting the house ready for Hellfest-goers, so setting up tents… read more

The 3 weeks spent with Catherine have been one of the most amazing time I have ever had. She is an angel and I absolutely adore her to bits. Her home is warm and welcoming, her family open and friendly. This was truly an incredible experience. Leaving was beyond hard and I began missing her and her home as soon as I left.

We stayed with Catherine and her fluffy dog Aramis for 3 weeks. It was our first workaway and I think it will be hard to top that. Catherine is one of the warmest and sweetest people I have ever met. She is really caring, thoughtful and ready to assist you if you have any questions. We got to see and learn so much in those three weeks, it was hard… read more

I can't believe it has taken me so long to leave feedback for my stay with Catherine in December 2017, but I hope the fact that I'm leaving it now can act as proof of how memorable my experience was! Catherine was such a caring host, and thanks to her my first Workaway experience was absolutely incredible. Her home is beautiful and quiet, yet… read more

It was such a pleasure having Mike at home !
He is a very helpful guy. He has done good job with many tasks. At this season, it was especially in the garden and the vegetable garden I wanted to enlarge. He also helps me with DIY.
He was also very comfortable with animals.
On the other hand, Mike is very polite and respectful.
He is also easy… read more

I stayed with Catherine with 10days. Actually this was first time to using workaway, but I had so good time with Catherine.
I did gardening, decorating for christmas, playing with Armis. It was really fun. I also drunk muscadi which is local wine. Everything was fresh and new experience.
Thank you so much, Catherine. See you in the world.

My wife, Charee, and I had an awesome time staying with Catherine, Cloe, Antoine and Aramis! We really did feel like part of the family. It was a very special time to share with the family as part of our broader travels. I especially liked our time with the chickens (the Ladies of Bournegal: Big Bertha, Jenevieve, Peri Peri, Stripey Jo, Floppy… read more

I am not sure there is any sum of words that would do justice the experience I had with Catherine, Cloé and Antoine.....and of course Arimis (small pieces of you still follow me to this day ;). The love, kindness and authenticity you will discover in this home is unlikely to be matched. I felt I was one of the clan. We shared meals, cocktails,… read more
