Jake and Sophie is a lovely couple who are very welcoming and kind, they are very clear on how to do the tasks you will be given. They have two lovely kids, Joubal and Lyra. And of course their dog Apollo ❤️ I had lots of fun on the farm, and hope I can comeback sometime to see a real jousting show! 😍

Definitely an amazing experience! A great chance too see parts of Scotland and really get involved in farm life and nature. 🌱 Sophie, Jake the family and team are very welcoming and kind. Everything felt very clear and structured, I was never confused about what was expected and agreed upon.😌 The jousting show was awesome and truly something to remember, would definitely recommend if you want a unique and fun experience combined with some hard work!😁❤️

My time at Les Amis was truly a unique and one of a kind experience! The horses are lovely and it was rewarding to contribute to all of the bits and pieces that go into equine theatre and stunt work! I'll miss everyone and especially picking wild raspberries with Lira 😭 daily tasks vary but Sophie and Jake are great at communicating what's needed to be done and are always wanting you to feel at home and included!

I had a great time! Joining the medieval festivals as a squire was definitely the highlight of my stay :) The family and everyone around the farm are really sweet and have lots of interesting stories to tell! You can learn a lot from them :) I won't sugar coat it too much though, please be aware you can only shower once's a week (which turned out to be not as bad as I would expect), there won't be much (if any) riding and the working days are long. Though the work can be fulfilling especially if you can pet some of the sweet horses, dog, chickens or cats somewhere in between hihi :)

My time here was absolutely incredible. I experienced so many new things and learnt so much while I was there. The location is absolutely beautiful, the walk into town has some amazing views and a well connected bus station. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful, answered all my questions, had some amazing stories to share and are just great people in general. The tasks vary but are always well explained. Being apart of the work they do is an amazing learning opportunity and a chance to see some really cool stuff. The food was delicious and nutritious meals. Hope to be back one day soon!
