I had the opportunity to spend some time volunteering at this beautiful château, and it was such a wonderful and unique experience. Being surrounded by nature, spending time with the sweetest animals, and experiencing everyday life in such a special setting made my stay truly memorable.

Kevin was an absolutely fantastic host! I especially enjoyed our great conversations over delicious food, learning about all sorts of fascinating topics, and sharing stories. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience, the wonderful company, and all the lovely memories I made during my time there.

Kevin made us feel welcomed from the first day. Amazing host! Food was great. He prepared an amazing beef pie to welcome us. We prepared the rest of dinners. He is very flexible with food and chores.
The castle can be a bit overwhelming as it is very big, but Kevin makes you feel at ease.
Willow and Wanda (the 2 dogs) are great as well.
We were there in a middle of a heat wave and couldn't help us much due to the heat and he was very understanding. Will definitely come back.

Absolutely amazing time! This was my first experience with Worldpackers so I wasn't too sure what to expect but Kevin was very accommodating. He gave us plenty to do whilst also having free time to explore the local area. We did a range of things like feeding the animals, gardening and more. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful week staying at Kevin’s château and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Kevin was incredibly accommodating and flexible with work hours, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
The animals were lovely, and being surrounded by nature was such a treat. The setting is peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect place to switch off and enjoy the countryside.
Thank you, Kevin, for your hospitality and for making us feel so welcome. We would definitely recommend staying here and would happily return in the future.
