We are an open minded couple with a lovable young hooligan dog and a retired lassie collie, living in the French countryside.
We are very rural, in a small hamlet just outside of the village, there is no public transport, bars, shops etc.
Our nightlife consists of star gazing or country walks in summer time and watching movies or playing board games in the winter.
The house is a typical French stone cottage with heating in all rooms, we live as a group sharing bathrooms and eating together.

We live together in house as a group, we normally have 2 shower rooms (one currently under reconstruction) and bedrooms are in house. In high summer if needed we also offer bedrooms in a large cotton tent. We make bread daily, and cake biscuits etc are normally on the table to help yourself to. We make English beer and normally offer beer or wine with the evening meal once the working hours are finished.

John and Ross were really great hosts! Since the very first day they made me feel at home.

I learnt a lot by working and helping John repair different stuff. I really appreciate him being confident enough to let me do different repairs and jobs.
Ross’ meals were amazing every day, as well as the memorable flapjacks and many other delicious cakes she baked for us during the stay. I also really enjoyed playing board games after dinner! Not to be forgotten, Obi and Nuki are super cute and lovely dogs.

Definitely an experience that I would recommend to anyone and one that I could repeat :)

Our stay in John and Rosslyn’s house was a great experience from which we learnt a lot. Tasks were not too hard, you were given all the necessary equipment and the food was amazing.

John and Ross were the best hosts!! They were very welcoming and the nicest people who are always happy to share their wide range of knowledge with you. I loved helping out in their amazing garden and seeing how they reuse so many things and make cool new things :) I loved chilling in the evenings watching quiz games and playing board games with delicious home brewed beer. Loved this experience so much, especially their 2 adorable fur babies ❤️

My stay with John and Rosslyn was superb! They were very welcoming and created a relaxing atmosphere for me. I learned and experienced a lot both in my time off and when I was helping. I enjoyed everything from the cooking and the homemade beers/yoghurts, to John and Rosslyns lovely company! All in all I had a great stay, which left me feeling very fulfilled.

John & Rosslyn quickly made us feel at home here. We really appreciated the amount of knowledge they both had to share, as well as the funny chats & homemade food. Can’t stress enough how amazing the food was! We spent most of our time here helping with household maintenance tasks, as well as some gardening/outdoor activities. Wish we could’ve come during the summer & enjoyed the warmer months here, but we loved our stay here anyway. Thank you both!
