My time volunteering in York was a calm and peaceful experience. I found a very special sense of peace in the city. The place is small but very cozy, and the work was straightforward, which meant I had plenty of energy left over to enjoy the day after my shift. Johnny and Katrin were very kind and attentive to me, always making sure I was comfortable. Their polite way of communicating made me feel so welcome. My roommates became unforgettable friends, and we shared many precious moments together. The city of York is beautiful and full of history, and the local people are very polite and calm.

This was an incredible opportunity! Katrin and Johnny are warm, kind, and very welcoming. The tasks were simple and manageable, and we had our own private space with a fully equipped kitchen. The city center is just a 15-minute walk away, and the route offers beautiful scenery along the way. The locals are extremely friendly, which made it easy to meet new people and truly immerse ourselves in the local culture. I highly recommend it!

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.

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 :)

Had a wonderful time! The family were very friendly and easy to get to know. They were very happy to let us play with their two lovely kids and feel apart of the family. The work is relatively easy and quite fun.

I honestly have no words to express all the attention and affection I received during my days with them. They are an incredible family (special love for the girls 🫶🏻) that I will carry with me forever !! The work, the schedules and everything else that is part of the volunteering are amazing.. not to mention that the city of York is lovely, plenty of things to do, and you have several options for nearby cities too. I felt so good and at home that I ended up staying much longer than expected. I highly recommend the experience.. thank you so much Katrin and Johnny for everything !!!
