Tony and Pat are amazing people; they made us feel right at home from day one. The tasks are quite varied, and working hours are strictly respected. The place is beautiful and peaceful, and we were able to learn more about environmental conservation. Tony is a great cook, and we had a lot of fun with them. I am so grateful for the time we spent together and the conversations we shared.

Volunteering at the project was a wonderful experience. It all starts with the place it self, which feels like an enchanted Paradise, sorrounded by nature and tranquility. Tony and Pat's hospitality is second to none. They are incredible hosts and very interesting people. We really enjoyed spending time with them, and it was easy to sit and chat for hours. The work mainly involves helping with the care and maintenance of the property. The agreed working hours are respected and the tasks are fair and Well organized. I would definitely recommend this volunteering oppottunity to anyone.

It was an amazing experience! Tony and Pat are a lovely couple, very supportive and curious about my country.
The house is beautiful and cozy, and the all the meals were delicious!
It's a nice place to have contact with nature, learn about growing your own food and sustainability. The working hours are well respected, and even their cat Maisy joined me :)
They were really sweet in inviting me to their activities with other friends, movie nights, take me to the station for me to visit other places, or even taking me with them in case they have something to do somewhere else :)

We had a great time staying with Tony. Right from the start he made us feel very welcomed and at home. He is an amazing cook and was happy to show us around the area and give recommendations of things to do on our time off. The tasks were all very well explained and therefore were pretty straight forward and easy to complete. We learn't alot off Tony about sustainability and eco living!
