Krakow is a few hours away by train where you will find plenty to do.

Arnaud joined us for a week, which we extended to two, as he gelled with our family so well.
Whilst he may have lacked some experience, he more than made up for it with an eagerness to learn and enthusiasm to help out with any task at hand. He never shied away from the job at hand.
He also became a firm favourite with our two daughters, aged 3 and… read more

This is by far the best experience I could ever have expected for a first workaway ! I spent 2 wonderful weeks in Eddy and Gosia's place where I could discover a way of life that I thought impossible to achieve. Away from the stress, living simple, very close to nature, without loosing any kind of comfort. I was warmly welcomed and I really… read more

The month stayed at Eddy and Gosha's farm was a wonderful experience! It is a life style I have only read in books and magazines. And yes, the family have a lot of books and magazines on farming, farmhouse building and decorating, food, etc.. Literally they all come out from the books into daily life here.

Daily work including milk the goats,… read more

Sisi and her partner Petar spent 4 weeks with us and it was a joy to have them stay. No job was too much and we felt very comfortable in their company and they soon became part of our family unit.
Much like Petar, Sisi was always looking for things to do and many jobs were ticked of the list that is normally expanding at this time of year and her… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Petar)

Petar and his partner Sisi originally asked for a 4 week stay, but having previous experience with challenging volunteers I suggested two weeks instead. Had I realised at the time that Petar would be such a great help, approaching everything with a can do, upbeat and determined attitude I would have suggested a three month stay :) Coupled with his… read more

Workaway should sent a workaway ambassador to this place because that's how -in my opinion- workaway should be. No volunteers used for the hosts business. No dorms. No -must have- working hours and especially not telling you what to do every second. Eddy is a curious explorer. He is always looking for new things to do, in another - let's say "new"… read more

Oliwia was a most welcome addition to our house and family for her stay, happy to help out with any task that we had and a fantastic friend to our two children who loved their new Aunty. They will never forget her and nor will we.
She would be welcome back anytime as a volunteer or friend, either way we look forward to seeing her again one day.

W Pstrągowej spędziłam ponad tydzień. Gościła mnie bardzo fajna rodzinka, w której skład wchodzą: Eddy, Gosia, Michalina oraz Zosia. Edek jest bardzo miłym i zabawnym gościem z pięknym brytyjskim akcentem. Sadziliśmy razem papryczki, plewiliśmy szczypiorek, a nawet doiliśmy kozy :) Pokazał mi też, jak zrobić pyszne curry z dynią... Na samą myśl… read more

We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay there - including helping out with various tasks around the farm and house, spending time with their family and trying to entertain as well as being entertained by the kids, and taking in the lovely surroundings by bike. Eddy and Gosia are extremely kind hosts, we couldn't have felt more welcome there!

Great place! Cool people! And a fantastic idea in the back ground. Living away from busy cities, in peace with the nature in a sustainable way. Fields, straw bale house, crops, animals and delicious food! Those are the words that come to my mind when I thing about Eddy&Gosia’s paradise. The house has a spirit and you can feel it.

I stayed in… read more
