I absolutely loved my stay in York !Johnny and Katrin are wonderful people, truly kind 🤗 The work is done meticulously. Instructions are shared with our group based on the needs of the day. And they make the best tea I've ever tasted! Thank you, Johnny and Katrin! 🌞 I spent very the guest house time in the room; I preferred to enjoy York and my friends as much as possible. York is close to the accommodation and it's a beautiful city! If you like parks, bars, and restaurants with lots of charm, it's perfect! I met incredible people in York who showed me their city. I'll definitely come back to York ✨

Katrin and Johnny are amazing hosts, have been really nice and helpful during this whole experience, I loved spending time with them and their lovely family and it was very satisfying to see the progress in their beautiful witchy house. The work is not very difficult and can be done within the expected time and since most of the time there were other volunteers working together it was even faster and easier.

My experience was very special. The work was great and not difficult at all, which allowed me to enjoy the family atmosphere even more💖. Katrin, Johnny, and their daughters, Emily and Louisa, welcomed me with kindness and made me feel at home. The family moments, our conversations, and the songs they sang together filled me with warmth and joy❤️🥹. I truly appreciate their hospitality and the time we shared. I wish them all the best and send hug, Johnny and Katrin🫂, a special hug to Emily and Louisa 🫂

I had a wonderful time there :) Johnny and Kathie are perfect hosts, i felt at home from the very beginning 🌸. The work itself is relatively easy and the hours you work are really fair. From the guest house it is an easy 15 min walk to the city york. York is a beautiful city which offers so many activities to do and places to explore + lots of pubs which have great life music :) Lots of love to Emily and Luisa as well 🌻 I can highly recommend this opportunity! Thank you for this wonderful stay and the good vibes you're spreading. I really enjoyed my time ❤️

Had a fantastic time at the guest house the last few weeks. Johnny and Katy were very kind and respectful hosts and their two little girls were adorable! The cleaning work was easy with well explained standards and helping Johnny with renovations adds variety to a repetitive routine. York itself is beautiful and the city centre is only a 15-20 minute walk away. I can't recommend enough and I hope to be back one day :)
