We had a wonderful time staying with Rob and Eleanor. We felt straight at home after arriving and welcome in their house. The jobs were straight forward and included things like gardening, painting and sanding. The hours working were balanced well with free time, allowing us to explore the surrounding area. Rob and Eleanor were fantastic hosts and we were sad to leave after spending 3 weeks with them!

We had an incredible few weeks at Rob and Eleanor's house in Glastonbury. They're wonderful hosts and we really enjoyed getting to know them. The work we did involved painting inside the house and helping renovate their annex. It was satisfying to see our progress and build on our skills. Glastonbury and Somerset is a magical place to explore. The house is very close to everything you'll want to see in Glastonbury. And there are bus connections to the home, Bristol etc from the doorstep! Thank you to Eleanor and Rob for having us, we'd come back in a heartbeat!
