This was truely a wonderful experience. We worked on a 200+ year old rock wall, something we don't have in Australia and the weather held out for all 9 days. I learnt so much and can take this new found knowledge with me. Howard is the perfect gentleman & has a lot on his plate with such a large project with many years of renovations ahead of him. I was treated to wonderful dinners & great conversation. I highly recommend this adventure but only if you're ready & willing to work & put in the honest effort & hours. I look forward to returning to help out again some day. Thank you Howard!!🦘🦘🦘

Me and my partner Ben spent two weeks at the home and it was a great time. We learnt new skills, enjoyed the rural life and felt very welcome. Howard and his mate Glyn were always up for a good conversation, we took turns cooking and exchanged experiences. The two dogs, Angus and Minky are super lovely and always happy to be taken on a walk. Highly recommend voluntary work at this beautiful place and we'd be happy to come back one day.

Me and Johanna really loved our time with Howard at the home. Howard is dedicated to the project he has going and is more than happy to get volunteers involved with all different tasks. He will thoroughly go through each task with you so you feel comfortable in what you are doing and is happy to answer any questions you have. You will be fed very well in return for some good work and will take turns in cooking each evening. We really enjoyed spending time with Howard and socialising over dinner with his friend Glyn with good conversation and some great puds :) Also lovely dogs!

My partner and I stayed with Howard for a week and had a great experience, if you're willing to get your hands dirty and get stuck in, this ones for you. We learnt many skills and shared a lot of stories with one another, Howard is a top guy! The home was welcoming and warm as well as the food. The 2 dogs were super sweet and their were also bicycles available to use. Highly recommend, we will be back, until then. 👋 🇮🇪🦮🍽

We spent 8 days at the home with Howard and his mate Glyn. A very entertaining duo to say the least. We had an amazing week learning about the area and sharing stories. The accomodation is perfect and the food was great. You will be expected to put in some hearty manual labour during your working days. If you're up for that kind of thing you'll have a great time. Cheers guys!

Wow, I could not have asked for a better experience! Howard made me feel right at home as soon as I arrived. I was happy to assist in renovations and build on my practical skill set. Some days were physically demanding, others were set aside for cleaning and organizing. We took turns preparing delicious meals. The home is beautiful, the views are great, the dogs are adorable, and Howard is a gracious teacher. I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in learning more about painting, decorating, building, and repairing.

The stay at the house was simply great. Howard is an amazing host, always asking if we are ok and explaining the tasks clearly. He make us feel completely comfortable and have good times together. The hours were respected and we could have time for ourselves. The tasks completely manageable, the food was always great and we cooked in turns. The place is amazing, far from cities and great to feel the peace of nature. If you want to feel welcomed, learn more about repairs, gardening and live like locals in the countryside, this is the perfect option for you.

My experience was amazing. There are beautiful views and historical sites nearby. A perfect place if you are looking to be close to nature and in peace. Howard, the host, is a gentleman and a one-of-a-kind. A high skilled worker who can teach you a lot and also share lots of stories. He has two dogs that are very sweet. The house itself is like a picture straight out of a book. The accommodations are clean and cozy. My job was outside, working in the garden. We took turns cooking and helping to keep the house clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this position and I'm very grateful for it

I had a really nice time at Howard's! The working hours are respected and there's a nice variety of things to do; apart from the working hours volunteers take in turns to cook for dinner and to clean. The house is in phase of restoration and it's open countryside, so the lifestyle is quite rural, but I personally found the estate beautiful, and the surroundings as well if you want to explore; the closest pub is at 15 minutes by walk. Howard is really kind and friendly, he helps you a lot with your English and makes you feel like at home from the very beginning. I definitely recommend:)

I had a wonderful time at the home. The estate is amazing! Howard is very friendly, and the dogs are lovely too. I felt comfortable right away. Howard creates a relaxed and open atmosphere that makes it easy to feel at home. There's a good balance between work and free time. Although the location is quite rural, you can get around by bicycle. It's the perfect place to unwind and improve your English.
