The Experience

I am looking for help in my five-bedroom BnB which is in the third generation of my family and was originally built by my grandfather. I require help cleaning rooms with laundry, ironing, checking in guests, and help all round the house. Accommodation is a mixture of private and dorm where you will share with just one other person. You will be given three meals a day and have two days a week off. You will also have the use of my mountain bike.

My experience at castle house Bnb was so lovely! I felt right at home from the very start because the atmosphere is very cozy and friendly. John is such a kind and funny person and his Bnb is absolutely great. Also really loved John’s bike that we were able to use because I really got to see some of the beautiful Area better:))) Unfortunately I did fall of the bike because I wasn’t looking at the road but thankfully John and his sister took care of my after. I am so grateful to them! Thank you for all your help and care and especially the great experience!!!

It was my first volunteer experience and it couldn't have gone better! John is helpful and kind in explaining the tasks the volunteers have and finding compromises if necessary. The BnB is near some beautiful beaches, and if you want to visit the surrounding area, John will gladly offer to accompany you to the nearest bus stop. It's the right place if you want to relax and it's also wonderful to be able to create bonds with the other volunteers that work there.

My first volunteering experience with John at the guest house has been an amazing one. I spent one month in the BnB and it felt like a second home. John is an amazing person who goes out of his way for the volunteers, cooking them amazing dishes, giving recommendations about what to visit and most importantly, making everyone feel welcomed. The tasks are simple and don't even feel like work when you are chatting with John at the same time:) Even when the BnB is really busy, John always make sure that you have your time off. I even had the chance to help him with his horses which I loved to do!

Had such a great volunteering experience here! John is an absolute legend 🥹 he's super kind, easy-going and genuinely one of the nicest people you'll meet! he was always happy to have a chat! the volunteering itself is straightforward, I mean, once you understand the process, everything runs smoothly and John is always there to explain things and make sure you feel comfortable u'll also have plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings, which makes the experience even more special. I'm really grateful for the opportunity and only wish I could have stayed longer!

I felt really welcomed in this house. I had fun experiences and learnt a lot. John is an amazing cook and he always makes sure you feel welcomed and are cared for.
The work was manageable and it was really fun helping with the horses.
John made sure we would see important landscapes and drove us to other places if needed.
