Staying in Ticheville was an absolute dream! It's a charming, quiet village surrounded by gorgeous French countryside and architecture—ideal for relaxing walks or bike rides. It's the perfect getaway to recharge, discover Normandy and spend quality time with yourself or your partner. We spent plenty of time outdoors in the home helping around the house. Debbie is a fantastic host and an amazing person to be around—very open and super flexible about everything. Dan was also extremely kind, helpful and supportive throughout. A huge thank you for such a memorable experience!

It was sooo great, Debbie and Dan are really wonderful people. They explained everything clearly every time and always answered our questions about anything. Debbie also gave us so many tips on trips and on how to get around Normandy. The working hours and work were always agreed upon and clear. The place and the surrounding area were very quiet and beautiful, ideal for creating stronger bond with your partner and relaxing. The local towns and villages are really cozy and beautiful are beat explored on foot, by bikes or by hitching (you can even get to the coast pretty easily).

We had a wonderful time with Debbie and Dan! The property has a vast the home where you can genuinely learn gardening, from planting vegetables to caring for different plants. A great hands-on experience. The accommodation is a separate house completely to yourself, so you will have all the peace and quiet you need to rest and recharge. Debbie is warm, sociable and incredibly kind. Dan is cheerful and easy to be around. Both made us feel very welcome! Normandy is a beautiful region with charming villages and postcard-perfect countryside. Highly recommend!

We spent two wonderful months with Debbie and Daniel, and it was an unforgettable experience. We learned so much about gardening, and they inspired us to create our own the home one day. We really enjoyed spending time together and always felt welcome and comfortable. They were kind, patient, and happy to share their knowledge. We were also lucky to explore beautiful Normandy and experience the authentic French countryside. Thank you for everything. We'll always remember our time with you!

Debbie was an amazing host. She was super welcoming and fun, we had lots of great chats and laughs. The work was abit different to the profile tho. There is no kitchen work and the gardening is more weeding than anything else (the time of year also effected this). The hotel isn't open anymore so we were on the property by ourselves most of the time which was super relaxing. Totally recommend for people who loves the outdoors or love to read in peace in their time off!

Debbie and Dan were such wonderful hosts, very welcoming and friendly. They looked after us well.
The property is lovely, quiet and peaceful and the gardening work, very satisfying. The accommodation and meals are great. On days off we were able to go to local towns and practice French with the locals. This was a really great first experience with world packers and I would definitely recommend this exchange to others who would like a chance to stay in the tranquil countryside with stunning views and walks and take part in gardening work whilst practicing sustainable eating and living.

We had a great time! Despite the location of the house being a bit isolated, it is a perfect place to connect with nature! We learned a lot about gardening and farming as the chores were diverse and we were never bored or tired of doing the same things. Deb and Dan were great in every aspect and helped us with everything we needed. They took time out of their schedule to pick us up and drop us at the nearest train station (30min away) and Deb even took us out to a little party in the nearest town and cooked some delicious the home food for us. It was an amazing experience and we recommend it!

I had sooooo much fun in Ticheville!! It was my first volunteering experience and it was undoubtedly a memorable one. I loved staying in the countryside, life is so much more relaxing, and lots of things to do, lovely walks, animals everywhere, the lovely priscilla (best cat to exist), a lot of cooking and experiencing the home cuisine, a nice way to do new recipes and have fun trying new things! Debbie looked after us extremely well, she introduced us to life in France and taught us about gardening. I honestly couldn't be happier for having experienced this :)

We had a lovely time in Ticheville. We spent a month there, had a house to ourselves with the best cat in the world! The jobs were engaging and rewarding, with lots of variety. Debbie our host was fantastic, she picked us and dropped us to the train station, showed us around the area on day trips, and was always attentive. Being in nature is something I adore and I couldn't have asked for more. I would happily go back again :)

Our experience at Ticheville was a wonderful adventure. Cyn and I were able to do different things we never would have done had we not been there. The assignments were simple, and everything said in the application was always respected. Debbie and Daniel are wonderful people, very kind, respectful, and attentive. The place is in the middle of nowhere, so you can connect with yourself and with nature as you hear the birds singing, the flowers growing, and the sun setting in the afternoon (if the weather is good). Overall, I highly recommend this experience. Thanks a lot Dan & Debbie
