I have had an amazing experience where I have met some wonderful people. The staff members make you feel very comfortable from the beginning. Brockenhurst is a beautiful village that is very well connected to other locations and is an ideal place to learn or practice English. I would highly recommend this volunteer placement and would come back again!

My experience at the Thached Hotel has great. The work was not hard, and the hours were respected. They are also very accommodating and flexible.the hosts were nice and social. The village was small and quiet, good for a getaway from big city hubbub. And it's very easy to get to the bigger, more populated cities by train. So there is something for everyone. In the end, I recommend this hotel as a place to da workaway in.

It was a very pleasant experience, Huw teaches you a lot about the culture, food and recommends places you should visit. The town is small and very quiet, perfect for those people who like calm; If you want some fun you're going to have to take a train (the price of this varies during the day).
