Volunteering at Caron's B&B was a very good experience ! The tasks were varied and enjoyable, giving me the opportunity to learn new skills while contributing to a beautiful and peaceful environment. Then, Caron is such a friendly and kind person, always ready to share stories, tips about nearby places to visit, and even some of her cooking secrets! The area around the guest house is also worth exploring. The region is full of beautiful nature, peaceful walking road, and charming villages that give you a real taste of the local culture. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone !

Caron and the guest house were amazing! She took the time to get to know me, as well as telling me the history of the area which was great to know. It was an amazing, quiet area, with lots of historic architecture to see. Caron was a great host, she was friendly and attentive (her dog was just an added bonus)

Corey was an absolutely amazing help around the property. There was nothing that fazed him at all he just got stuck in and gave it his best shot! My dog will miss him the most and still sits outside Corey's cabin waiting for him to throw a ball and play......

I spent two weeks here. Caron and the staff are very nice. The house is wonderful, clean and comfy. The place is beautiful and you can go for a walk after work. You can also go to visit different beautiful towns nearby on your days off.
