My experience on the farm was amazing! I learned so much about farm life and production. Mark and Nicola were so welcoming and I felt at home while I was there. The nature and wildlife on the farm and surrounding areas was beautiful and peaceful, and it's a great place to go explore and hike and get in touch with yourself. Nicola's cooking was AMAZING and I discovered many new English dishes I'd never heard of. I loved every moment of being there, and I will miss it a lot, can't recommend enough!

What can I say about this beautiful experience with these amazing people? It was just a fun and lovely time where I got to learn about the juice-making process, but the best part are Nicola and Mark. They are such warm, caring people who genuinely look out for your comfort and make sure your stay is perfect. I felt right at home from the very first minute! I'm so grateful for the chance to meet them and, of course, Shadow, George, Faith, and Hope, the little stars of the place that I grew so fond of! This farm has truly earned a special place in my heart. ❤️

My hosts were absolutely amazing people. I'm neuro diverse and they couldn't have been more flexible and understanding. I learnt differently and they recognised this and worked with me. They were so friendly with great home cooked food every night. The bed and house was great. I got to play with the dogs and cats too, a real home from home. The work is really interesting. The apples are delicious! My favourite was the apple crushing machine. These hosts are so kind and considerate with a wonderful place to stay I recommend them to everyone Thank you so much guys

This was our first experience with Worldpackers, and we couldn't be more satisfied with it. Mark and Nicola were incredibly kind and close. They also shared with us a lot of knowledge about their culture and farming. This made our stay not just a work opportunity but also a constant learning experience. We are going to miss Faith, Hope, Shadow and shy George so much! 💗

The experience the farm was amazing! The tasks are always different so everyday you do and learn something new, Mark and Nicola are always available to help and it's really fun to work with them during the day :) They keep the schedule and are careful if we get tired. The accomodation and food are amazing and something that made me really happy was their interest about my culture as well. Enjoyed it to the fullest and will certainly be back to the sheeps, dogs and cats too <3
