The Experience

We’re a British family of four - Tom, Lucy, Betty (5) and Mila (2) who have moved from England to the Spanish Pyrenees in search of a more tranquil life surrounded by nature, where we can make the most of life together while we turn a run-down farmhouse into our dream home and business. We're looking for help in all elements of our new life here!

My time with Lucy and Tom was amazing! I truly felt at home the moment I met them, and it was so much fun seeing more of the area and getting to know a few of the locals too! The whole family welcomed me in, which really meant a lot after solo travelling for a while! Mila and Betty were absolutely gorgeous, and there was never a dull moment. The work was hard but rewarding, and I loved every minute of it! Absolutely recommend for hiking as well.

Lucy and Tom made us feel like part of the family since day 1. We worked on some fun projects and the work was fair - once we got finished up in the afternoon they often invited us to go and explore some amazing places in the surrounding area or we could go and do our own things. We also had great accommodation and the food was excellent.

Staying with Tom and Lucy was our first workaway experience and it was fantastic! The work was sometimes hard going in the heat but they were so considerate with breaks and checking in on us. Everything was as described, and the food was absolutely delicious. Betty and Mila were an absolute delight to be around and we will miss them loads! Tom and Lucy showed us some amazing places in the local area, and we are forever grateful. We would've stayed longer if we could!

Tom and Lucy were very welcoming and their two little girls were adorable and a joy to be around! :) The nature in the valley is ridicously beautiful and I spend a lot of time in the evenings and weekends hiking and exploring the local area - Tom and Lucy knew a lot about local trails and were kind in giving lifts and pickups when needed :) All in all a great experience and would recommend to others!

La experiencia fue increíble, recomendada al 1000% la familia the home son excelentes anfitriones, siempre al pendiente de nosotras, me hicieron sentir como en casa, las tareas realizadas son claras como las ponen en la plataforma y los tiempos muy exactos, si tienes la oportunidad ve con ellos ya que te la pasaras muy bien! La comunidad es muy pequeña sin embargo siempre hay algo que conocer. Tuvimos la oportunidad de ir a la fiesta anual en el castillo y además conocimos otros pueblos ya que Tom tuvo que ir y nos llevo.
