I stayed five days with Carolyn and Robert.
they are very kind and the work was not always interesting but it was never too hard.
I regret not to speak English well, I will surely have a better time but as a first experience, it was cool.
when my english will be better I may come back;)

We loved having Pauline and Lucas to stay. They fitted in easily with our life style and were always considerate and polite. They did all tasks well and Lucas never complained about the amount of strimming he was asked to do!! And Pauline was great on the mower! We wish them well on their travels!

Perhaps we caught our hosts at an awkward time in life, but our experience there was not at all as the other reviewers have indicated. We were told at the beginning of our stay that the past few workawayers had left early, all with different excuses, which worried us. Alas, our short time there (we also ultimately decided to leave early) consisted… read more
