Matty was an amazing host, he was able to answer all my questions and if I needed help with anything he was able to guide me through it. Very knowledgeable and eager to teach me.

My first Worldpackers experience couldn't have been better! the project is such a special place. The farmhouse is over 500 years old, the surroundings are beautiful, and there's something about the atmosphere that makes you feel at home very quickly. Although my stay was short, it was really good… Matty was a wonderful host… friendly, welcoming, patient, and always up for a chat and a laugh (f.u)… Thank you for making my first volunteering experience such a positive one. I will always look back on my time at the project with a big smile… 😬🥰

My week at the project was wonderful! It is a place full of peace and good energy. I was able to cook with vegetables and fruits from the garden and other local products. I also helped take care of the garden for the winter. The work was simple, and Matty is flexible with the schedules. Matty is an amazing person, very kind, fun, and great company. He was also very patient with my English. He always had interesting topics and stories to share. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun with him. I definitely recommend this experience and I would love the opportunity to come back one day! ☺️♥️

My experience at the project was very positive. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The work is physical, but you get used to it. Taking care of the chickens and the vegetable garden was truly enjoyable. The nearest town is a 25-minute walk away. Matty is friendly and makes you feel at home. Overall, it's a recommended volunteer opportunity for those seeking a calm environment and contact with nature.

I had a great time at the farm! Matty is a very welcoming host and great conversationalist. The house and garden are beautiful with a super interesting history. I really enjoyed spending time with Haggis and the chickens and cooking with vegetables from the garden. The nearest town Talgarth is only a 25 min walk away with a great bakery. I definitely recommend the farm!

I have absolutely loved all of Wales and Talgarth is such a cute gem. Matty is a wonderful host and made me feel safe and at home from the first day. Both his house and his farm are stunning: surrounded by hills and woods, I felt at peace, free. He's also been very patient with all my questions ahah: even though I was born and raised in the countryside I feel like I've learned more from my time here than at home. You'll get used to the physical work pretty soon and after a while I've grown so fond of the animals and plants that it didn't even feel like work anymore!

My volunteering with Matty was great. The place is really calm and relaxing, perfect to unwind. Matty is super friendly and welcoming, you quickly feel at home. I went on some amazing walks thanks to his tips, and the scenery was beautiful. Honestly, I had a great time. Thanks again, Matty!

I am so grateful for my experience at the project and couldn't recommend it enough. It is a very special place, a beautiful house surrounded by incredible nature and lots of history. Matty is just a great host and person, very interesting to talk to with a great sense of humour. I really enjoyed working in the garden, I learnt a lot about sustainability and growing food etc. Plus there are chickens and sheep to play with which is a huge plus! If you want to slow down and get in touch with nature this would be perfect for you. Thank you Matty ☺️

I deeply treasure the experience I had at Collage Farm! Matty is amazing respectful, kind, honest, and easygoing. He is always willing to help you learn 🫀 During my stay, I learned a lot about sustainability. It helped me become more aware of the food I eat and how to take care of my body and mind. The site is a bit far from the nearest town (Brecon), but if you're looking for a quiet place to connect with nature, this is the right spot! Thank you, Matty, for trusting me and turning this experience into a beautiful memory.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
