Really late feedback, I’m sorry Fran and Derek, you deserve better!! I’ve had such a great time at this beautiful place with very warm and welcoming people. The way this family takes care of you, their sense of community, sharing and connecting to people is really inspirational. The work was very satisfying, I cleared some undergrowth of trees,

Barbara is 100% reliable and trustworthy and takes each task and completes it beyond expectation. All done with love and care. She is completely responsible and needs no supervision. Takes her own initiative if necessary but will always check things out with the host. She has been a delight and a joy to have around and is sorely missed. Thank you

Very talented in many, many things .
Also knowledgable, fun to be with, patient and a perfectionist in what she does.

First of all, sorry for the late feedback... I stayed with Sandy and Mike for too short a time in October 2015 and returned in January for six weeks - I think that already says a lot about these great workaway hosts. My main task was painting, as it is one of my favourite jobs. I had the great pleasure of repainting almost the whole inside of this

I absolutely enjoyed staying with Lorna and Brian at their beautiful place in the Aveyron. They’re a very welcoming couple, made me feel comfortable from day one and were very supportive of my goals to learn about animal keeping, gardening and working the land. During these two and a half weeks I benefitted a lot from their broad knowledge and got

Arrived as a stranger - parted as a friend! Staying with Jo and Daz was exactly the kind of experience I’ve been looking for. I learned new things every day during these two and a half weeks, not only in terms of work but also regarding all the benefits of rural life on body and soul. I spent most of my days outside, the place and its surroundings

Barbara spent 16 nights with us in Oct '15 and worked like a horse, she didn't flinch at a single one of the many various tasks she was given here, form work in and around the nursery, sawing logs, dumper truck driving, brush-cutting with a big mean machine, after builders cleaning, cooking, loving our pets and walking the hounds. She was very
