This was my first Worldpackers position and it was a really great experience! Amanda and Graham were great hosts and I got to learn a good bit about construction while I was here. Hours were very well respected and the cooked lunches were very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Jo was a great volunteer who worked hard and hopefully enjoyed his experience.

It was an unbeatable experience. Free times and meals are respected. The landscapes, unbeatable, there is a castle very close that can be visited on foot or by bicycle. Amanda and Graham are two very kind and generous people. The dinners that Amanda prepares are great. Graham, for his part, is an excellent and patient teacher who will provide you with all his knowledge while you help him at work. When we had to leave, we had problems with our train ticket and they helped us solve it.

Amanda and Graham are very friendly, they like to talk, but they also know how to respect personal space. They complied with absolutely all offers, including meals. It is a volunteer work focused on construction and renovation and the work and the day are adequate. Strictly respect the timetable. On weekends, they offer us rides and we can explore neighboring villages. The experience was very positive, thanks and I hope they are very successful in the home project.

Luca and I had a fantastic time at the home - Amanda and Graham were awesome hosts. The caravan had some issues at the start of the stay but we voiced our concerns and were offered a fabulous alternative. Thank you Graham and Amanda, we can't wait to see the end result and wish you all the best!

We had a wonderful time working with Amanda and Graham. The work was fulfilling (we like getting our hands dirty), we look forward to seeing the final product once all the gites are complete. The food was wonderful! Amanda and Graham were kind enough to purchase groceries that we wanted for the meals we would prepare ourselves. We had an issue with the caravan initially - there was no running water and a couple other problems - but this was solved quickly as we were invited to stay at their friends' hire and pet sit two gorgeous kittens. All was amazing in the end, thank you for having us!
