It was a very special experience to volunteer at Stone Mason to me. Mark's family are the sweetest, Mark is a laid back person, they will try to provide everything you need. The work I do every day was not that hard. I guarantee they will make you feel right at home. They try to take you to many places to make the experience more enjoyable, and I never thought that I would learn so much from this experience. They also have lots of different activities to do in the afternoon. Mark cooked amazing food every day and everything was FANTASTIC! Thank you, Marky & the fams! Your Indo mate, Hans

A great first Worldpackers experience! Mark and Dee were so nice and welcoming. The food was great and they always made sure to make a non-meat version for me. The work was also very fun - mostly painting, but I also learned some new skills, which I'm excited to use someday. I loved staying with them for two weeks, strongly recommend it!!

We really enjoyed our stay with Mark and Di, they took us on lots of fun trips, had lovely communal meals and they were great company. It was great fun working on their new home and seeing it gradually come together. I would really recommend staying with them and seeing the beautiful French countryside!

I had a great time working with mark and Dee! The work was engaging and really helped me learn and improve skills. We were served 3 fantastic meals a day and I really enjoyed all sitting down together with the other volunteers to eat and share stories. When we weren't working we got taken out to experience wonderful parts of the countryside to get a good taste of French culture and history. We met some amazing characters and saw some beautiful sights. The experience was great for disconnecting from city life and living an authentic and fulfilling country life. I had a wonderful time.

Mark and Dee are exceptional hosts. They do every effort to make the volunteers have an excellent experience that combines work and leisure. They have shown us much of the local culture too.

Mark and Dee made sure that my sister and I had a comfortable stay at their home and they fed us well! They also took us to many local attractions and introduced us to their interesting friends. We got to learn about the history of the region, stone carving, archery, technical skills, and even try on medieval armor. I felt like it was a good balance of work and fun. We mostly worked on wallpapering, plastering walls, and painting/sanding stuff. Our interactions felt family-like which was nice. They took us to art-related activities after finding out about our interests. Thank you :)

Mark & Dee were incredibly welcoming to my sister and I. I always felt really comfortable with them. Mark kept us well-fed- he's a great cook! And always remembered and respected my dietary needs. They took us to events related to our interests and introduced us to some of their amazing friends- visiting Matthieu's museum was one of my favorites. Mark also taught us stone carving, archery, and showed us his armor collection. The work was very relaxed and rewarding-I did mostly painting and wallpapering. I also really enjoyed being in the countryside- very peaceful! Great experience!

The best experience I've ever had. Mark and Delia make you feel like part of their family and as if you were at home. The meals are delicious and there are always fun activities to do in the afternoons and on weekends. The place is beautiful and there is a lot of contact with nature. An unforgettable experience that I will always cherish in my heart. Wishing you success in the future and infinite thanks for making me part of the remodeling project of your house.

I had such an incredible time at the Stonemason's house! Mark and Dee make you feel right at home and are so much fun to be around. They make a big effort to show you local culture, meet their friends/locals, go to fun events and visit historical sites! I also found the work repairing the house very enjoyable and I feel I have come away with new skills. We shared many delicious meals, good conversations, and laughs. I couldn't have asked for a better first Worldpackers experience and I definitely recommend it to other travelers.
