My first workaway. Loved it!
Had planned 2 weeks, stayed over 3 - says it all really. Nice team, lovely animals, cozy accommodation, great location in beautiful surroundings. Work started at 8:30. Nothing nicer than being greeted by the animals upon entering the barn. My fav part was mucking out stables in the morning. There is something very
… read more satisfying about this simple task of making beds for the ponies/horses/donkeys. Rest of the time was allocated to whatever is needed, e.g. making up hay nets, tidying up tack shop, moving animals, grooming animals, collecting acorns, cleaning food buckets, interacting with the amazing volunteers from places for people with learning difficulties, playing with the dogs, cuddling the cats, praising the cats for catching mice (and watch them gobble them up afterwards urgh), keeping the farm house tidy and clean, brainstorming improvements, chatting and laughing with the team. I also did the late feed at 8pm, often accompanied by Archie, resident mouse hunter.
I was lucky enough to arrive in time to help with an open day. Such fun and so great to see the local support kicking in for this amazing place. You love unicorns? Well, they have two ;o) You love Shetland Ponies? They have 4 cute munchkins. We even hosted a vintage tea party with Shetties for a 21y old birthday girl. I hope this will become a permanent thing as it was fun to supervise and watch the guests enjoy themselves.
The location is remote, so having your own transport would be good. But the team would def drop you off at nearby bus or train station. You can arrange for food to be delivered. I had a car and did great trips: Tenby, St Davids, Cardigan Bay, a Roman goldmine, several castles, the biggest reservoir and dam in Europe, over the Black Mountain (what a view), and to many of the cute and colourful nearby towns.
I had a hard time leaving and hope to be back next year.

Monika has been fabulous! She arrived the day before a busy fundraising open day and hit the ground running. Monika is trustworthy, reliable and helpful. She has helped us with cleaning, organising and the general day to day care of the horses. She has got on well with everyone she has met and has become a friend, she is an all round good soul. We

Sue stayed with us in 2022 and was a delight, she is a kind and helpful soul and we really enjoyed her staying. She visited us again in June 2023 in her motorhome and stayed for longer than planned, she was a massive help and has become part of our extended family. We hope to see you again soon Sue!

My stay there was an amazing experience. I was warmly greeted when I arrived.
Rhian, Dionne, Shannon and Belinda. you are all 'Angels' in my eyes. Your love, kindness and dedication to these beautiful creatures go way and beyond. There is nothing you wouldn't do to help them. Bless you all ❤️❤️❤️

I fell in love with all the ponies, horses, donkeys and defo Billie and Archie (the 2 resident cats) who loved a cuddle on the sofa in the evenings.
Apart from the normal horsey help as in mucking out, filling Haynes etc. I know they would be appreciative of other types of work as in helping to fix fences, painting fencing, cutting up trees that have fallen. Handyman or handygirl help. there's always something to do! It frees up these dedicated people to do what they do best!!!!
I hope that you get all the help you need and deserve.
I love you all and can't wait to visit you soon xxxxxxxxx

This was our first Workaway experience and we‘ve spent 3 weeks with the team here. We would definitely recommend this host to you, if you like being in the nature and around ponies. And on top of that you get the chance to meet very kind and considerate people, who always make sure that you have enough of everything you need. They always checked
… read more in on us and really made an effort to get to know us and we felt very welcomed. Moreover, our main task was to feed the two lovely orphan foals Juno and Bunny and they asked us to check in on some ponies sometimes. We also did some poo picking, catching and grooming ponies, general help in the barn like mucking out or preparing hay nets and helping cleaning some tack. While doing that, they always made sure that we were okay with the task and insured us that we always could have a break if we’d like to. It was no problem to take a day off and visit some places like Tenby, Hay-on-Wye or Llyn y Fan Fach.
If you consider staying here, you should know some points: We were‘nt aware of the fact that we would stay at the house and the farm alone, but they are looking for someone to live there permanently so this situation could change. We got used to this after a few days and there was always someone reachable via phone. Luckily, we came with our own car because the farm is very rural and there is, as far as we know, no public transport nearby and the next attraction to explore is at least 30 min to an hour by car away. During the working times we had lovely chats and lots of interaction with the people here but since they don’t live at the house, after work or at your days off, you‘ll probably have to explore things on your own.
So to sum up, this is a great place to spend a beautiful time at with lovely animals and wonderful people. Especially when you are interested in hiking and exploring the nature, this destination is the perfect place for you.
Thank you so much Dionne, Rhian, Shannon, Belinda and Ellie for having us and making our stay unforgettable!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Ella and Muriel have been fantastic volunteers, they have been trustworthy and dependable. They both speak very good English and are great communicators.

Skylar was our first workawayer, she was great to communicate with to make arrangements to stay. When she arrived she absorbed all the information, was trustworthy and quickly settled in as part of our team. She has a great sense of humour and was a real help feeding our orphan foals late at night and early in the morning. She stayed with us for
