I needed help in the house and garden and Annie came up trumps! Being organised, experienced and extremely knowledgeable, she was confident and very thorough with whatever she did. She worked extremely hard. It was easy to entertain her and she was good company at home and on trips out. I think we have formed a firm friendship and look forward to… read more

What a gorgeous experience to stay with Helen! She is a wonderful hostess, full of energy and fun, which you recognize in her colourful paintings. I stayed with her for 10 days and had a lovely room. Apart from work in the garden I helped with framing pictures and some jobs in the house and gallery. Helen did all she could to make my stay… read more

Annie we miss you!! Annie literally brought the sunshine with her when she arrived. It was a great pleasure hosting her and I feel she has enriched our lives, and that we now know more about life and culture in the Netherlands. We enjoyed conversation, meals together and trips out. She is a very skilled, responsible and able person, and easily… read more

Annie was a really helpful and friendly workaway. She stayed with us and helped us in the house and in the garden. She is a very positive and cheerful person, willing to do anything that we asked her to do. We enjoyed her company very much and hope that she might come and stay with us again! (sorry this is so late!!)

It was a real pleasure! I stayed with this lovely family for 9 days. I worked in the garden and did some jobs in the house. They made me feel part of their family and I felt so much at home from the first minute. The hostess is an excellent cook. I really enjoyed the vegetarian meals and our conversations. There's also a very kind dog. They took… read more

Alexandra and David were lovely hosts and they've got a very friendly dog Atlas. I stayed with them for 10 days and I really enjoyed it. The work wasn't very hard. It was a mixture of gardening, ironing, cleaning and cooking. Mostly Alexandra and David did the delicious cooking. They left it to my responsibility what I preferred to do. I had a… read more
