I spent a month in this lovely tucked away Bed and Breakfast!! :) You work 5hrs a day and get two days off. If the weather is nice you do some work in the garden. Otherwise it was mostly organizing things and cleaning guest rooms and bathroom, going grocery shopping, cleaning kitchen and common areas. Pretty straightforward! All in all, I had a wonderful experience in the guest house and enjoyed my time with Dave, Brandy and sometimes other volunteers (my first and last week overlapped with people leaving and arriving). Thanks for everything :D I highly recommend!!

Unfortunately I do not recommend this place at all. I didn't feel welcome, u participate a lot at the owner life style which drains your energy. It's not a family atmosphere, you will fell not welcome. The owner is moddy so u night have a private room as offered or u just will have to sleep in the living room together with his dog in a cold place with no privacy, this is what happened with me so I had e o shorten my stay in 6 days. Quite havy energy, the owner says lots bad words, you can not use the kitchen, breakfast and diner is included but u have to eat what Dave's prepare it.

El señor vive solo con su perra Brandy y lo que quiere es tener un asistente de limpieza en su casa que le ayude con las tareas. Es un hombre particular y el ambiente es un poco frío, no te sientes bien recibida. El señor cocina todas las noches un plato de diferentes países (esto fue lo único bueno). Tuve que acortar mi estancia por un tema personal y se lo comuniqué días antes de que me tuviera que ir. El señor me dijo que me fuera ese mismo día, fue muy grosero. no recomiendo esta experiencia. No aprendí nada.

🚨Not Recommended
* Does not understand English-Beginners Level

*Broke Glass Casserole Dish before leaving and did not tell me. Instead she tried to hide it.

* Not dependable and did not work to agreed terms. Spends a lot of time on telephone.

I ask for 5 hours/5 days, with 2 days off for helping with household, garden, etc… it’s in my profile and discussed beforehand.
At the moment I am somewhat handicapped being hit by a car on my motorcycle 2 weeks before this helper arrived. Broken collarbone, smashed ligaments and horrible pain.

Eu fui embora na manhã seguinte. Chegando na casa não senti uma boa energia. As instalações são antigas, o quarto não é tão privado assim, o Dave não é comunicativo e é um pouco rude. Conversei com os outros voluntários e todos reclamaram do quanto ele era rude e que os expulsavam a todo momento de lá. Não indico essa experiência e principalmente se você for mulher acredito que você não vá se sentir muito a vontade e segura. Quando avisei que iria embora de Manhã, Dave foi extremamente rude e mal educado comigo, outros voluntários compartilham do mesmo sentimento de descrição.

Encontré lo que buscaba, un ambiente tranquilo en un país increíble. Dave es un buen anfitrión y excelente cocinero, vive solo con su perrita Brandy. Tendrás que ayudar en tareas de la casa, nada exigente y fuera de lo ordinario. No hay mucho para hacer aquí, pero si quieres paz y tranquilidad es el lugar indicado por unas semanas.
