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.

This experience was super nice Mathew and the tea room made feel like a little home away from mine, I really enjoy my time there, the task are pretty easy, most of the time you are going to work with someone which make everything easier, they respect the time you have to work and I got a private room, I highly recommend this experience is you like the outdoors and something more calm the village is pretty quite and the forest is lovely, i got a weekly allowance which is enough for you, I had to cook for myself which is nice because you have and entire professional kitchen to do what you want

The hotel is in a beautiful town. We had fun meeting Ryan, the main housekeeper, the Tea Room team and David and Matthew. Everyone was friendly and welcoming

Matthew and the team welcomed us very well, everyone is extremely kind. The work is easy, and if you have any questions, there's always someone to help. The New Forest near the hotel is definitely a plus! Overall, the experience was good, but I'm giving it 4 stars because I expected more opportunities to interact with other volunteers and practice English. However, due to the small space and the fact that it was just my partner and me during most of our stay, we didn't have that experience.

Thanks for your feedback. As you say, we are a very small place so only have accommodation for two volunteers, so when it is a couple who come to stay they are not going to be able to interact with other volunteers - but they can, of course, interact with our full time staff in the hotel and the tea room.

One thing above all is that all the staff and the owner are so kind, they really want to make you feel comfortable and I really appreacited that. However, personally, I would say that the volunteer wasn't working for me because I had other goals which was learning english and new skills, both were not possible to practice at the hotel. Again, for me it was a negative point but maybe for you It won't. The work is reasonable and is pretty flexible, the owner makes you fell valorized doing your work, which is nice. In general it was a good volunteer, but it will depend on what is your goal.

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).

It was a lovely experience, Huw the manager is amazing as a person and all the local people super friendly and easygoing and the people there are very patient about our English and it was perfect to us can practice. Well it's amazing and if I can for sure I'll go back there! Feeling just grateful about that experience.

The hotel is the perfect place for anyone looking to improve their English. This was my second time volunteering here, this shows how incredible I think the place is. Thanks to Huw and Roxanne for the great work they have done on the place. The train station is less than 5 minutes walking from the hotel. The village is beautiful and welcoming.
