My stay in the home was a great experience when it comes to social aspect. Other volunteers made my stay really fun and lovely. Faye's place was very cozy, meals were great and as a volunteer you can spend the evenings in a game room, which was really nice. However the work was demanding and the tasks usually took much more time than the host assured, which is why I felt pressured and worried that I'm not meeting Faye's expectations, while doing the best I could.

Hi Maya, I believed you left as I was unexpectedly travelling not because you felt pressured. You had very easy tasks to complete, weeding and planting bulbs with zero expectations on completion time as you were supposed to stay for 1 month and not 2 weeks. We are grateful for the work you did and we enjoyed getting to know you.

Château the home is a beautiful property in the French countryside. The facilities are perfect, comfortable & traditional, & everything I needed was provided. The food was delicious & meal times were enjoyable. Each task is well structured & detailed. Although I learnt a lot about gardening & came prepared to work hard, I found the work physically intensive & each job came with expectation & a short time frame to complete, resulting in extra hours that weren't agreed upon. There was a lack of involvement from the host, only spending some dinners together.

Faye's the home is a lovely place with beautiful surrounding countryside and a lots of open land. The sleeping arrangements were great, and we had a lot of space as volunteers. The food was also very nice. Faye is organised and accommodating. The work was demanding and we were expected to work long hours to complete a task or project. The experience felt more transactional, which was different from other experiences I have had. Also, the host wasn't very active in participating in activities with the volunteers.

Thank you Luke, yes unfortunately as you are aware, it was an extremely busy time for me and my children and therefore I did not actually eat a dinner for 3 days in a row. So however much I would have liked to have joined dinners it was not possible. Sorry you felt the work was demanding, your project which I allowed for 1 month to complete was actually was completed in 1 weekend by my.casual worker after you left.
We enjoyed getting to know you know and we are grateful for your help.

Staying at the home was a great first volunteer experience. Faye and the family are so sweet always made me feel welcome. After dinner we sometimes played card or board games making it feel like home. The tasks were layed out at the beginning of they stay and you can always ask questions for clarification and Faye walks you through specifics.

I enjoyed getting to explore the local area with the students and kids and play fun English games. Thank you for taking care of me this week!

La host fue muy linda y su familia igual, no te va a faltar nada, las habitaciones de los hombres son muy cómodas pero hace mucho frio en ellas en la mañana, el trabajo (mínimo en el ámbito de jardinería) es mas duro de lo que uno espera pero no es molestia si disfrutas del trabajo duro

This place has an amazing location, there is a lake pretty close and you can see the Pyrenees, not to mention about the atmosphere of this old-fashioned building. The tasks were nice and pretty demanding, sometimes I felt them too much. Faye and Ben are kind and the food was delicious. I really liked that I could cycling and playing ping pont and darts with the other volunteers in the game room. P.S. I MISS YOU SCRATCHY

I've had a very good experience at the home, Faye is a very kind, respectful and charming host, I also enjoyed meeting other volunteers, sharing fun moments and enriching cultural experiences, the room was spacious and warm enough, the bathroom was shared with other volunteers and I was free to prepare my own breakfast and lunch meals, everything was explained at the beginning and Faye also answered any questions I Had, we've shared good and fun conversations on diner time, the workload and and tasks met up with what's described.

This experience was quite enjoyable. On the one hand, the family is always willing to listen to you and attend to your concerns or needs. Thus, the tasks and working hours are comfortable and challenging but you always feel the gratitude given by the host. And on the other hand, the meals cooked by the host are gorgeous besides being a space for interaction with the volunteers and family. If you are looking for an experience of cultural exchange and disconnection but connection with nature, this is a very good opportunity.

My experience at the home was fantastic. Faye and her family are welcoming and always enthusiastic to chat about the day. The tasks were challenging but rewarding and the schedule made these tasks easy to complete. The meals in the evenings cooked by Faye was a highlight each day and made finishing the tasks for the day even more rewarding. Overall I believe this volunteer experience is one of a kind and the best I have done so far without a doubt. Thankyou to the home!
