The Experience

I really enjoyed my time here! Nathalie and Eric are both wonderful people, right from the start they made sure I was comfortable and felt welcome in their home. Nathalie is an amazing cook, it was great to try so many different dishes, I am going to miss her cooking. I worked on painting and in the garden, they were great with flexibility of tasks especially on cold days. There are lots of wee villages and scenery around to explore, I was lucky enough to be able to borrow their van to go and visit some of them. This was overall such a good experience and I loved my time there!!

Nati and Eric are incredibly warm people!! I had an unforgettable experience with them. From the first moment, they made me feel very comfortable; they are very kind and treated me wonderfully. Nati's meals are delicious, and they both always check on me to make sure I'm okay and help me with anything I need. I walked a lot around the area: there are beautiful fields. The house is lovely, and the room where I slept was beautiful. Kiwi and Victoria were amazing 😊 I will remember my stay with great affection!! 🥰

I had the most amazing time with Nathalie and Eric and the gorgeous dogs Victoria and Kiwi. We painted, wallpapered, and gardened and had a lot of fun. Nathalie is the most amazing cook and it was wonderful trying so many French dishes. They are so kind and welcoming I truly felt at home, and the house and the area is beautiful too. Would definitely recommend!!

This experience was truly home away from home. Nathalie and Eric created such a warm and welcoming environment, that is unique. When I arrived, they asked me which type of work I enjoyed and gave me tasks related to them. They were always there in case of questions and/or need for help. I didn't have to do anything that I wasn't comfortable with, but they did help and teach me things I wanted to do, however lacked the experience or required knowledge. I felt loved and appreciated as a person and for every piece of my work. The food is perfectly described by others; it was 12/10 amazing....

Eric & Nathalie are warm, generous, and hardworking individuals. You can see how authentic their bond is and their shared journey is rather inspiring. From the outset, I felt welcomed. They were fully flexible with work hours, open, engaging, and by far the most accommodating hosts I've encountered. Their two dogs, Kiwi & Victoria, brought daily joy. Nathalie's cooking is to die for! Almost entirely from the garden too, every meal was vibrant, inventive, and super yummy. It was so good I am a little worried about going back to UK food 😆 I would 100% go stay with them again!
