The Experience

We have a large Georgian house with an interesting, beautiful and very overgrown grounds made up of a Victorian water garden, woods, large lake and meadow. We need help in trying to restore these gardens to how they would have looked in Georgian times - 1820s. Also if you're interested we will be doing some lime painting and how it helps these old houses survive. Any questions please ask.

Natasha and Quentin were truly amazing hosts! They were welcoming from the start and always made sure that I had everything I needed. The work is mostly outside, which is nice, and the house and its sorroundings are really beautifull! There is also lots to see in the area! But it is definitly a more quite lifestyle in the countryside, so thats something everybody should be aware of :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and the time I spent in the home was magical. It's a very beautiful place, and the hosts, Natasha and Quentin, were very kind and made sure I had everything I needed. The work wasn't complicated, and the tasks were beginner-friendly. Natasha cooked delicious meals, and I had plenty of free time to explore the area. A 10/10 experience!

I had a fantastic time at the home. Natasha and Quentin are very welcoming, the house is incredible and Natasha cooks some great meals. During my late-winter stay, I would help them with various groundskeeping tasks or general property improvements. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to see this side of Wales!

My experience at the home was incredible. Natasha and Quentin were fantastic hosts - kind and welcoming, made sure I had everything I needed, cooked delicious meals, and were very helpful recommending things to do in the area. The house was fantastic and I was very comfortable in my space. Beautiful surroundings for walks and bike rides, and lovely coastal towns to visit on days off/afternoons. Work was straightforward and explained well, agreed hours were always kept to. For my first Worldpackers experience I couldn't have been more lucky. Thank you both!!!

It was a very good expirience with Natasha and Quentin in this beautiful house! The various work made fun and i could use my free time for exploring the surroundings and the villages by bike that i could use from them. Three weeks was perfect for me to improve my english, learn new things from Natasha and Quentin and enjoy the quite and peacefuel time. Thank you! It was just what i needed
