I had so much fun during my week in the home. The family was very welcoming and encouraged being integrated and involved. It is very clear that faye and the family care about guests having a good experience which was nice. Faye was also very flexible for random requests I had. Truly a memorable week. Food was also very nutritious and delicious. The sleeping arrangement wasn't extremely comfortable but I believe this was a one off since they usually give volunteers a private room. I was there for a party doing photography so the house was full. Overall great time!

Faye was an amazing host and has such a wonderful family. My guest room was nice and I always looked forward to sharing dinner with everyone. The work was fair, even enjoyable at times with no real rush to finish quickly. All in all I had a great time and am thankful for the experience.

My experience in the home was very special. I had wonderful 2 weeks learning so much about gardening, getting in touch with nature and having wonderful conversations. Faye and the girls are so welcoming. She was a very helpful host and the dinners were delicious and fun!

I really appreciated my time here, Faye is a great host, she's really organised and communicative! I enjoyed our conversations, always loads of laughs and I learned a lot. The location of the home is great, it's right by the village centre (Samadet) which is quite small but it has the essentials: a supermarket, a few restaurants, some bakeries etc and it's only like a 15 minute walk, even quicker on bike.
