The Experience

We live 2 miles from the beach and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. There are many walks on the Preseli Mountains and in the surrounding woods and forest. We are 7 miles from Fishguard and the ferry to Ireland. The garden is simple and just requires basic gardening tasks. Some help, such as washing up is also required.

I had a lovely time staying with Hywell! He had lots of stories and such a beautiful area, the house is so cosy and inviting. I learnt so much and especially loved the cooking:)) The work was very enjoyable being outside and gardening with flexible times.

Hywel is a wonderful person with amazing life stories and a big heart. The work was easy and always clearly explained. I even learned how to mow the lawn with his cute little tractor—which was a highlight! His two lovely and well-behaved dogs made everything even better. He also took us to visit nearby towns and showed us some cool local spots. Thank you, Hywel, for making us feel so welcome—we truly felt at home!

Had a fantastic week with this host! His cooking was amazing and always available, and we loved his movie picks and fascinating stories. He was super generous with rides and even gave us a tour of nearby towns. The work was light—just some gardening and chores—and we enjoyed every minute, especially hanging out with his two adorable dogs. Highly recommend!

It's been a beautiful experience in my life to visit these magnificent landscapes, friendly people, and amazing nature. If you're looking for a welcoming place full of peace, quiet, good food, and fun moments watching movies... This is a place you should visit. Thank you for teaching me about gardening, driving the tractor, and planting new plants and flowers. I wait to visit again later to see the apricot tree, the rose, the apples... and enjoy a natural cider. There's a nice garden house being rebuilt by another volunteer... Sure it will look great. Thanks Hywel!
