We had an amazing time volunteering for Fridus and Roswitha! They made us feel so welcome and really made sure we were comfortable. We helped with a range of tasks so each day was different and fun! We wish them a very happy retirement!

We really enjoyed our time here! Fridus and Roswitha made us feel very welcome when we arrived and always made sure we had everything we needed. The work was very varied but fun, and we had lots of down time to enjoy the nature. We hope they enjoy their retirement and their new house :)

Thank you Roswitha and Fridus for this experience. We wish you a wonderful retirement, happiness and rest after giving your all in your restaurant. You deserve it! It was a pleasure to meet you, the beautiful dogs 🐕 and to be immersed in your daily life. We learned a lot about cooking and also about us. Tack så mycket !

This experience with Roswitha and Fridus was really rewarding. I loved looking after the dogs, all four of whom are adorable. I learnt a lot about organising a kitchen and a team and I'm happy to be going home with a lot of new recipes. I really loved cooking and preparing for the guests. Despite working hours that exceeded the quota of 5 hours a day, I learnt a lot from this experience. If you're looking for peace and quiet and contact with nature, I really recommend it. I wish Roswitha and Fridus all the best for the future. We were honoured to do the last JulBoard with you. Tack så mycket

An unexpected experience after reading comments as I was one of the first volunteers after the restaurant closed. Working hours and days off weren't set from the start and tasks became repetitive, packing and unpacking as the hosts were moving, and walking the dogs, even on days off, which made it difficult to fully rest. There was confusion with our leaving date, which forced us to leave early, at greater expense. We did enjoy lovely dinners cooked by Roswitha, who also introduced us to some Swedish traditions. I am grateful for the experience, and thankful for what I learnt.

A mixed experience, slightly disappointing, however we visited during a challenging time, helping them move house. Jobs were varied, accommodation was decent, dinners were provided and were tasty, breakfast and lunch we made ourselves, but often from a limited selection of foods. I never felt totally at home, and the hosts were often quite pedantic about how things were done. Working hours and days off weren't structured which meant we couldn't plan ahead, and activities on days off were limited. The dogs were often a challenge as they were untrained. Still, I am thankful for the opportunity.

I loved staying at Roswithas and Fridus place. I had the best time and it was the perfect start in my travel year. The working hours were always respected and i had so much fun working that it dident even feel like work. I was here during the Christmas time and it was just perfect. Roswitha and Fridus are both so welcoming and i felt right at home. I had my own room that was a cozy place for some privacy. The Restaurant was a great place to meet up with the other volunteers. We did so much from karaoke night over game evenings and hiking. I would recommend them to 1000 % and miss them already

As soon as I arrived, Fridus & Roswitha made me feel incredibly welcome, which I really appreciated as I was quite nervous. Working hours were respected and, when I was feeling a bit under the weather at one point and worried about letting Fridus & Roswitha down, they were both so kind and understanding about it. I learned a lot, including some local recipes, which I am so excited to try at home for my family in time for Christmas. There's also so much nature and I would absolutely encourage anyone to volunteer here while you can. Their dogs are the absolute cutest and so friendly as well.

I spended one wonderful month in Tolvsbo. Roswitha and Fridus are so kindhearted, creative people who are always cheerful, positive, and generous! I enjoyed having all kinds of different tasks (inside the restaurant and outside). On the days off, I loved spending time with the other volunteers and exploring the beautiful surroundings. Walking the 4 sweet dogs with other volunteers was also something I looked forward to every day! I felt so welcome and can only recommend that place!

My time in Tolvsbo was wonderful. The work in the restaurant was demanding at times, but this was balanced out by plenty of periods for rest and fun, and there was always good communication and understanding around work hours. Roswitha is fantastically organised and creates a very warm atmosphere for everyone; It felt like a home away from home for four weeks.
