I had a wonderful stay with Stuart and Mo and felt very welcome. My tasks included feeding the alpacas, cleaning up after them, and filling the hay nets. We built new fences and got to try lots of new things, which I really enjoyed. I was spoiled with delicious food—Mo is an amazing cook!

My stay at the farm was absolutely incredible!! Mo and Stewart were so kind and I immediately felt welcomed and it felt like home :) The tasks were mainly feeding the alpacas, cleaning the paddocks and filling up haynets and I also did some fencing (->new skills yay!) The atmosphere was amazing and we laughed a lot together, played Rummikub, talked politics and Mo showed me how to card and spin wool :D The dogs and cats welcome you as part of the family pretty fast as well! 🥰 Thank you both for two unforgettable weeks and all the delicious food of course!!

I cannot recommend this place. I planned to stay two weeks but left early due to how I was treated. After finishing the tasks on the first day, I decided to rest because of a headache. At dinner, Mo spoke to me in a very rude and condescending way, accusing me of “vanishing” without communicating enough, even though I thought the work was done. When I explained how I felt, she continued with personal and unnecessary comments, and it was clear she didn't care that I was unwell. I felt extremely uncomfortable, unwelcome, and disrespected, so I decided to leave early.

I am writing this with great care.
Sadly, Seinab's lack of honesty about her specific dietary requirements and her reluctance to integrate into life here coupled with her secret departure via her bedroom window before dawn after less than 36 hours suggest that this experience was a very poor choice on her part.
Future hosts and volunteers will see that my reviews are consistently 5* and I do hope that hosts have more honest communication from Seinab before accepting to host her.

Mo and Stewart were exceptional hosts and they live in a beautiful part of France. Upon arrival I was immediately welcomed as part of the family. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable at all times including with whatever tasks were at hand. I learned lots about the alpacas, pyrography and how to spin wool. The work is very manageable and rewarding and there is plenty of time to explore the local area. Mo and Stewart are both excellent cooks and I enjoyed a wide range of delicious meals during my stay. Overall, this was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Mo & Stuart are incredibly kind people who did everything to make me feel welcome in their home. Between the pets and interesting conversations, there was always something going on, so it never got boring! The work is easy and rewarding and I was patiently taught all the skills I needed. I learned a lot, like processing wool(spinning, knitting, etc.) or how to build a fence. The food is amazing: Mo's dinners and of course lots of tea with biscuits..

Mo and Stewart are excellent hosts. I have thoroughly enjoyed my short stay, learning about alpacas, French culture and many other topics. A big bonus is being provided delicious food most of which French or British cuisine and enough apple juice to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool. The work is very manageable and enjoyable, had plenty of time to explore surrounding towns and bike trails. Also loved the beautiful, patient dogs and cats that put up with my endless fuss.

Mo and Stuart are the kindest hosts possible, they really make a big effort in getting to know the volunteers and propose fun activities. They really have a lot to share and teach, it was lovely to be with the alpacas and learn about construction. Exploring the suroundings by bike was a big highlight as well. Thank you for everything!
