I had a great experience, Sue is a generous and fun person. The work was easy and the schedules flexible. Her place is amazing, very calm and with a lot of nature (I hope to come back one day to see this dream finalised :)).

How special it was to meet Sue and spend two weeks with her! Sue is such a lovely person, a strong woman and incredibly welcoming. She made me feel completely at home in her house, and the work was genuinely very easy-going. She always checked in to see if I was okay with everything and whether I felt comfortable doing it. On my days off, she always tried to make the experience even better. I had the chance to visit Chester and Liverpool, both lovely cities nearby. I definitely recommend this experience and hope she continues to meet many amazing volunteers who will embrace her house dream.

Staying with Sue was such a wonderful experience. Work was flexible, and on our days off, Sue would take us to visit nearby cities like Chester and Liverpool. The tasks were fair and easy, and we enjoyed an amazing view while working. My friend Mariah and I had a room to ourselves, access to any food we wanted, and fast internet for our remote work. It was also a lovely opportunity to get to know a bit more about Wales. As a bonus, Sue is hilarious! We shared a similar taste in music and had great conversations about it all the time. It was an amazing experience an I would recommend it!

I had a truly wonderful stay with Sue in the beautiful village of the home. From day one, her warmth, kindness, and hospitality made me feel completely at home. She's incredibly funny and great to converse with, which made my time even more enjoyable. The work was clear, fair, and flexible, giving me plenty of time to enjoy the stunning surroundings. The place has all the facilities; great food, wifi, peaceful walks, nearby trails and charming towns. On days off, Sue kindly took time to show me around, making my experience even more special. I'm very grateful for my stay :)
