Best experience ever. Sam and James were super welcoming hosts and I felt right at home right away and the whole time I was there. The other volunteer Anto was also amazing and we learned and did so much- gardening, forestry, pool cleaning, sewing, housekeeping, cooking and baking, and chicken care (we gave one of the chickens a bath literally my first day there). Sam is really keen to share stories and everything she's learned in her life (and she knows a LOT) and James is lovely to just have a chat with. The guests great to get to know and you'll feel like a part of the family, I loved it ❤

My first volunteering experience was amazing! Sam and James welcomed me so well, and the house was super cozy. And the food? Absolutely delicious—I loved every meal! The work was sometimes demanding but never too hard, and always rewarding. They explained everything clearly, and I felt comfortable asking questions. I also worked with Meg, an Australian volunteer, who was super kind and supportive. We explored nearby places, and my English improved a lot. An experience full of learning, teamwork, and great memories. Highly recommend—safe, comfortable, and with incredible food!

I had such a wonderful time with Sam and James! They welcomed me into their home, taught me so much about the local area and sustainability. The accommodation is awesome, the food is delicious, and you get to work in such beautiful spaces. Great for people who want to see the countryside and get outdoors. A huge thank you to Sam and James for the opportunity!

Sam and James are fantastic people. They have created something truly impressive for themselves in the guest house, and it is to everyone's advantage that they are so open to sharing it. Their home is beautiful, the surrounding region is beautiful and they are too! Sam is truly lovely, she is a fountain of knowledge and an intellectual of many stripes. She can teach you about many things and her cooking is amazing - you can learn so much from them. James is a gentleman with many experiences and we got on like a house on fire. I could write a tome on how positive my stay was. You simply must visit.

I cannot imagine better hosts than Sam and James, a lovely couple. They are incredibly patient, showing me everything with care and passion. Their generosity knows no bounds—they offered help whenever I needed it. They have a unique gift for seeing the beauty in everyone and are always quick to share kind words and encouragement. Living with them felt like a fairy tale, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, wonderful people, and their adorable dog, Princess Noodle. They are truly amazing!

Sam and James are simply the best! They provide a very meaningful and environmentally conscious experience in the beautiful Corrèze region of France. I felt immediately part of the family and my expected tasks were very fair. I absolutely love their little inn and all that they are doing to provide a beautiful and relaxing experience for their guests and volunteers. Sam is an incredible chef and is so innovative with ingredients and presentation. A true artist in the kitchen! James provides beautiful bike rides around the Corrèze region along with working hard around the inn. Simply the best!

Sam and James are terrific hosts. If you're looking to learn about running a bnb, or about the guest house, they'll gladly let you in. You'll get your own room, and a shared bath, as well as good meals. Work is in two shifts, breakfast and dinner, and you get days off when there are no guests.

I couldn't have asked for better hosts as a first time volunteer, Sam and James made me feel at home right away. They're great teachers, lovely people, and truly passionate about their business and way of life. Sam is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to cooking, I learned a lot of tips and tricks that I will take with me, and the meals we enjoyed every day were simply fantastic! Corrèze is beautiful, picturesque, and with the animals around the property you can't help but feel relaxed and in touch with nature. It was an unforgettable experience that I'd gladly recommend to anyone.
