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.

I had an amazing experience here:) Mark and Dee are great hosts who made me feel welcome in their home. During my time with them I learnt to stone carve, practiced archery in garden and went on trips to see the surrounding area all of which I enjoyed very much!!

I spent wonderful days in the company of Dee & Mark. They exemplify the principles of hospitality and are the loveliest hosts I know. I enjoyed a lot being able to collaborate on their dream in renovating their new home and I can't wait to be there with them on future projects. There are some lovely villages to visit and Dee & Mark were more than happy to take you to there and meeting also their amazing friends... Thank you for everything and I also thank life for introducing me to incredible people like you. I will miss you all daily. Good luck with everything and we'll see you soon.

Mark and Diane are wonderful hosts who really try to do everything they can to provide a great stay for anyone there, I thought I'd be only resting in the countryside but there's just so much to discover there, and as we only worked in the morning it was quite easy to find some time to get to know the place. There I learned how to shoot with the longbow and explored the Morvan regional park. We also went to Bibracte nearby and the Morvan's Resistance Museum, and much more!

Mark & D are wonderful hosts, both outgoing & involved in the community. We had home-cooked meals every day, took trips to historic landmarks, thrift shops, the lake, bars, & art parties with their friends. Delia even found a cafe for me to play my first "french gig" 🎸 We also visited local towns, & farmer's markets. At home, we played games, watched movies, & practiced archery 🏹 in the yard 😀 They are really easy going, fun to hang out with, and also quite British 😆 My friend & I absolutely loved our time spent as part of this lovely family ❤️ 💙 💜 Thank you so much - Patrick&Rayne

Without a doubt, one of the best experiences! With Mark and Dee I was able to practice my English, help around the house, paint, try ceramics, get to know the city with local tours and try wonderful food. I recommend them if you want to have a spectacular experience like I had.
