I stayed one month with Kevin and it was one of the best experiences. Kevin has a very beautiful garden and your work is to look after the garden so the work isnt too hard. For example, weeding or pot up the plants. Moreover, Kevin is a good cook so you are going to eat very well. I recommend to stay wirh Kevin ;)

Julia & Jasmin were absolutely fantastic during their stay here for the month of March 2019. Nothing fazed them and they were industrious and methodical. Their standard of English was 100% (pronunciation and vocabulary) and when they qualify and join a school, their pupils will be very lucky to have them as teachers. Kevin. April 2019.
