As a first WP experience I was so nervous yet when I got there Mark and Dee made me feel welcomed immediately! They are incredibly kind people and I felt honored to volunteer there! We worked on fun yet hard working projects that were amazing to see when finished and were able to come on fun adventures after! Meeting Mark,Dee, and Charlotte has really made a big impact on my life and my journeys after! I learned chainmailing, stone carving, archery and were able to meet amazing artists! So much more to say but 1000/10 experience I hope I get the opportunity to see you guys soon!

My time with Mark, Dee, and their daughter Charlotte was absolutely incredible! I would highly recommend it for anyone. They da great job with filling your day exploring and trying new things, and the work is far from fair for what you get in exchange. Excited to see the Duck Inn get completed and have a return party :)

Mark and Dee are wonderful hosts!! The tasks are varied but the work schedule is consistent and very fair. Our main project for the last 3 weeks was renovating an outdoor storage space into a winter retreat and bbq area with a semi tropical theme. We got to use lots of tools and building techniques which was fun and with hard work we made progress very quickly. Most afternoons and every weekend we had some outing or activity planned, we visited a cheese farm, vineyards and plenty of live music shows. Thank you Mark, Dee and Charlotte for including us in the family for a few short weeks :)

Mark and Dee were wonderful hosts! The tasks were really diverse so you never really get bored. The working hours are good, and you get plenty of time to explore. Even though the town is small, there were lots of activities going on and they were kind enough to take us. It was a really fun experience and would 100% recommend it.

Mark and Dee were absolutely wonderful. So welcoming, generous, warm and kind. Work hours were absolutely respected, and the work was never too challenging. We had excellent chats, delicious food, and they planned fun outings for the afternoons so it was never dull. I sincerely hope to return one day, and I'm forever grateful to them for opening their home to me.

My time here was absolutely wonderful. Mark & Dee were very welcoming and the hours were as stated. Mark was very patient in teaching us new skills which I appreciated, and was also a great cook. One thing to note is that the house is very rural and in a small & quiet area which takes some getting used to. However, the two went out of their way lots to show us the local areas which I loved. I also expected there to be more volunteers, but I think this has been fixed now on their profile. Overall, I very much enjoyed my stay & would recommend to those considering! :)

My very first volunteering experience could not have been better. Mark and Dee are really sweet, thoughtful, wise and welcoming. There isn't much to see in town and yet I never got bored, as they would always take me somewhere nice or teach me something new. The tasks were easy, the room is nice and bright with comfortable beds and even a sink, which is really convenient. The house is located in the Morvan Regional Natural Park, so the views are stunning and the whole region is peaceful, just perfect for nature lovers. I highly recommend this experience!

I enjoyed my time at the home. Super reasonable working hours, delicious home cooked meals, lots of optional activities to participate in (longbow archery, trips to nearby cities and museums). Mark and Dee are very kind, welcoming, and they have lots of great stories to tell.

It was my first experience as a volunteer and I couldn't ask for more! Dee and Mark are a wonderful couple, they were from the beginning very friendly, welcoming and easy-going. Mark fed us well and taught us new skills and Dee was very sweet and thoughtful. During the stay we visited really interesting places, relaxed and worked the right amount, also I had a great opportunity to practice my English and a little of French. They really put effort in hosting and I really felt at home.

This was a wonderful first Worldpackers experience! Mark and Dee were lovely. We worked on the house during the mornings and they tried to have a fun activity planned for every afternoon. Dee is one of the sweetest people ever and Mark is a man of many skills. I got to meet many of their friends and visit a lot of the local landmarks. Overall, an amazing experience.
