Unparalleled and wonderful experience. The moment I got off the train, I felt Sam's enthusiasm and friendliness! I also met very kind guests and volunteers here. Every day, I work with a heart full of gratitude. If you are a cooking or sewing enthusiast, congratulations-you can learn a lot from Sam! The work isn't difficult. And Sam & James are also generous to drive you to experience the surrounding town& villages and hiking trails during their free time. By the way, be prepared to gain weight here, because Sam's cooking skills are simply amazing! I will miss the days spent here definitely!

Volunteering with Sam and James at Corrèze the guest house was a pleasure. They're welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. The workload was reasonable and once you learn the daily rhythm, you feel part of the team, helping create a comfortable and delicious experience for guests. Free time included markets, the guest house, mushroom foraging, and trips to 'the beach' for paddle-boarding. We were even treated to a special thank-you lunch. I'm grateful for the warm welcome and hope to return next year.

You are more than welcome to return! I doubt the chicken run repairs will be finished before you come back LOL. Have a lovely time in Georgia and Turkey and take care of yourselves xxx

This is an excellent first Worldpackers experience, I even extended my visit as I was enjoying my time here. Sam and James are kind, knowledgeable, and patient hosts. The work was fair and easy to learn, with plenty of free time to relax in nature. I loved the peaceful location, delicious food, and the new skills learned from this experience. The guests and other volunteers were lovely, and cuddles with Noodle the dog and Miriam the chicken were always a bonus. A truly memorable stay, I would recommend this to anyone.

I spent two weeks with Sam and James and had the most amazing time! The loveliest hosts you could ever hope to meet with the sweetest dog in all the world!! Such a welcoming and caring environment, an experience I couldn't recommend more highly. Amazing hosts for first time worldpackers. I learnt so many new cooking skills and ate the most amazing food. Sam is always happy to teach new skills and share recipes. If you enjoy the guest house and being outdoors James has so many routes to share and there are opportunities to go on group rides. Such an incredible experience! Would love to go back!

This was my first experience in WP and as a volunteer and I'm extremely happy with my stay. Sam and James are wonderful hosts, they're kind, funny and patient and really care about you. Sam will always try to make you feel involve with the area and the events happening around the guest house, she is also a wonderfull person and a great teacher. I arrived with them after a bittersweet experience in Europe and they thought me about kitchen, culture and about patience and most of all, they made me feel at home, thank you Sam and James for this amazing experience <3

Sam and James are devoted to their Inn and both guests' and volunteers' experiences. Sam is a superb chef and really takes care of everyone and James is a fabulous cyclist and ensures everyone is safe and having fun. It's an idyllic property in the French countryside. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

I had such a wonderful 10 day stay with Sam and James. It was my first Worldpackers experience and has set the bar very high! The room, house, property, local area were all so lovely. It's no problem to assist with the daily tasks as Sam and James (and Noodle the dog! ) make you feel so welcome and part of the family. Sam is very inspiring with the meals which were all so delicious and both have incredible knowledge to share. I feel very lucky to have had so many new experiences here and definitely recommend it!

This was my very first Worldpackers experience, and I truly couldn't have asked for anything better. James and Sam are such incredible individuals from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home and like a part of their family. I stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every single day. Sam is an amazing cook, and I learned so much from her during my time there. The daily routine was super manageable the working hours were light and felt more like simple house chores than actual "work." What made the experience even more special was how every day brought something

This place is amazing! I had such a great time volunteering here. Sam and James are the best — always making sure you feel comfortable and at home. Sam knows so much and has a ton of patience to explain everything, which I really appreciated. I also got to improve my English just by spending time with them. I'm so grateful for the experience and I'm really going to miss them... and of course, I'll miss Nuddle (the sweetest dog ever), and Doris and Miriam. Thank you for everything!
