Yaz, his family, and the whole team are so incredibly warm and welcoming. They truly treat you like family. The accommodation is wonderful; you'll share a spacious place with the most amazing volunteers from around the world. And to top it all off, this is such a lovely, charitable organization. They are the epitome of hospitality and solace. They provide refuge for those in need, support small businesses, and promote sustainability; and that's just to name a few. It's wonderful to have such nice accommodations, but it's invaluable to work with truly kind, caring people. I highly recommend.

Cory has been an absolutely incredible person to work with. The enthusiasm she brings to the team is infectious. She brings a sparkle to any room she enters. The guests absolutely loved when she gave them the tour of all the magic props and the estate. She truly elevated the experience for all our guests and I thank her wholeheartedly for everything she did while she was here. We will certainly miss her.

My time at the guest house was nothing short of transformative. Every day brought new insights from practical skills to deeper understandings about life, people, and myself. Yaz and his family are incredibly kind and welcoming. His daughters radiate joy and intelligence, and the entire team, Joanna, Pauline, and everyone involved, creates a truly supportive environment. The work is well-organized and meaningful, the surroundings are peaceful and breathtaking, and the volunteer space is cozy and well-equipped. I'm deeply grateful for all I've learned and the beautiful memories I take with me.

I had a truly meaningful experience at the guest house. From day one, I felt welcomed by Yaz, the family, and fellow volunteers. The accommodation was clean, safe, and newly renovated. I was lucky to support a major charity event during my stay and loved witnessing the heart and purpose behind everything they do. The environment is warm, creative, and full of care. I'm so grateful to Yaz and the whole team. Thank you for such a special and inspiring time.

If I could describe my stay in one word, it would be "harmony." Yaz, her family, the staff... the guests were my favorite part; you really feel the magic of the hotel. The working hours were organized. You can work remotely without a problem. Yaz has a creativity that's contagious. Thank you for so much smoked salmon ;)

My stay at the guest house was great! Everyone that I met was very kind and helpful. Yaz and his family are very welcoming and sweet people. Joanna and Pauline are incredible too and helped a lot! I always knew that if I need or have trouble with something, I can always approach someone and never felt alone. It was wonderful to see how many ideas Yaz has and how much he tries to create a great experience for both volunteers and guests. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature but not too far away from the city center. Would definitely recommend! :)

It was my first volunteering experience and I fell in love with it! The place is stunning, full of nature and very comfortable. The family is very welcoming, Yaz's daughters are so polite and Nice (Maya is very mature and Miriam is super funny and dear, we had a great time singing Disney songs together!) Yaz is very funny and cares a lot about us, always trying to make the experience even better. Joanna & Pauline are just amazing, they are always there for you, are super understanding and lovely. I could go on saying lots of other things about how amazing it is, I'm going to miss this so much!

The guest house is a really special place, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The volunteers space is super comfortable, well-equipped, and has everything we need. Groceries are always provided based on what we ask for. Yaz and his family are incredibly kind, generous and welcoming. From day one, I felt at home. The work is well-structured and flexible. The host is always thinking of ways to improve the volunteer experience and genuinely cares about making it great for everyone. I had a lovely time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and meaningful experience.

This experience was truly amazing. Thanks to the wonderful people I got to meet, the great accommodation, and the provided groceries, my two months flew by. The hours were flexible, and if a trip was planned, asking for a few days off in a row was no problem. In addition to housekeeping, we also learned how to temper chocolate—an interesting and valuable skill to acquire. All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for an extraordinary volunteer opportunity. I am looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you!

I had the most amazing time at the guest house! Yaz, his family, and everyone I worked with were so welcoming, supportive and generous. They truly made me feel like part of the team and I loved that I could bring my personal skills (yoga teaching) into the experience. The space is cozy, comfortable and really well-equipped. The stunning location, inviting atmosphere, along with the chance to explore Oxford and London during my time off, made it even better. Over all, it was such an unforgettable experience and I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it!

I had a wonderful time at the guest house! The work hours are clearly organized and respected. Besides the cleaning you also do lots of other activities like chocolate making, which is a nice change from time to time. Joanna and Pauline, the cleaning staff, are very sweet and helpful, giving guidance if needed and making sure the volunteers feel comfortable to ask questions. Yaz is very kind and attentive to the volunteers needs, ensuring everyone feels at home and that each volunteer has a good experience. I can definitely recommend volunteering here!
