I have spent two and a half wonderful months here and I highly recommend this establishment. The comfort of the house is excellent. The landscape is also very beautiful. It's an ideal place to relax and enjoy yourself. The dogs are very sweet too, and if you like horses, this is the perfect place. You will learn a lot about their nature, behaviour and the care they need to ensure their welfare. Most importantly, you get to connect with them through trust and respectful treatment. For all of this and more, I absolutely recommend this experience!

The experience was amazing. I am very grateful to Yolande and David. They were incredibly kind and respectful, for which I felt really like at home. They gave me the opportunity to learn and experience knowledge in a field of work that I had never experienced before, with regard to the professional care of horses and to gardening as well. It really transformed my life and my professional perspective, and that denotes a high level of advancement in terms of promotion and development, at a professional and educational level, among young people and also women from a local venture. Thank you.

That was my first time volunteering, I'm grateful I could be part of the whole atmosphere, that I could see all those fabulous places Dolton and its neighbourhood can offer! Yolande and David treated my with so much love!They're very inspiring people,I was amazed how they are commited to their lifestyle. The community is truly accepting, I loved attending art group with the lovely ladys! Dolton is remote and exactly that is its magic, you can stroll in the forest, climb up the hills, enjoy the views by the river. I will never forget the memories I gained during my stay, it was lifechanging!

I spent a wonderful month in Dolton and couldn't be more grateful. Yolande and David welcomed me with open arms, and the village community made my time even more special. Through activities like art group, I met so many inspiring people. Dolton's peaceful, remote setting made it the perfect place to slow down and recharge. My tasks in February involved stable work, along with household chores. If you want to take a break from everyday life while growing personally, this is the perfect place for you. But be warned: saying goodbye is hard because in Dolton, you'll find a second family! ❤️

An incredible experience! From the moment I arrived I felt very comfortable and part of the family This was very important for me, especially since it was my first volunteering experience For me, I loved being able to help as much as I could with the horses, the garden... while I was able to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Dolton. In general, Yolande and David have been very good hosts (worrying about my tastes, whether I was comfortable...) in the company of Bertie and Bailey I sincerely thank them for this great experience that I will never forget

I had a wonderful 4 weeks on the farm! Yolande & David are lovely people and you truly are treated like a member of the family. You are part of the local community and attend events weekly, while getting to know the locals. Tasks included caring for the horses in the mornings and afternoons and then doing varied jobs in die garden and house depending on what needed to be done. They were supportive and accommodating of your personal ventures, and it was all round just an amazing stay. I hope to see them again one day soon!

This was my first time travelling alone across the country and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Yolande and David are fascinating and heart-warming people, who truly care for their animals. They made it so easy to feel at home, as if I were truly a part of their family. I learned so much from them and I would recommend anyone staying with them! Thank you so much xx

"I'm grateful for my time volunteering with Yoland and David. They're wonderful people who helped me improve my English and taught me about their passions, including caring for horses. I also enjoyed the company of their playful dogs, Berti and Bailey. Dolton's community is special, filled with friendly and happy people. I've made many friends through activities like crochet, coffee Fridays, and bingo. The retired residents shared fascinating life stories and treated me kindly. My neighbors were welcoming, inviting me to join them for games and dinner."

It is a wonderful experience, from the first day I felt part of the family, and little by little I became part of the community since in the publu there are different activities to socialize, I have improved my English since the community corrects me and speaks to me I can practice all the time
