The landscape is beautiful, there is direct access to the river which I as an avid paddler love, the history of the area is fascinating, and I've gotten to learn quite a bit about all kinds of farm work, cooking, and technical knowledge.

The place is really beautiful, with lots of green space and areas to explore, and the river is great. You can improve your English here, depending on your motivation and the people you're with — Dalmiro advanced a lot by speaking with Jonathan. The living environment is good, respectful, and friendly. The only minor downside is the split schedule, which leaves less free time during the day. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and enriching experience, and we hope to come back someday. Baby the cat definitely deserves a special mention!

It's a place full of nature. If you're looking to relax with a good view, this is an excellent option. Jonathan is a great host — funny and attentive to your needs. It's also a good place to learn about teamwork and responsibility. A lot depends on the people you're with, too. It's a place to stay curious, explore the surroundings, and ask questions about how to do things. Jonathan won't hesitate to help you. He's someone you can learn a lot from, if you know how to take advantage of the opportunity.

My stay at the farm was a very memorable and unique experience, where I met amazing travelers and and I truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere. The location was beautiful and I had the chance to learn new skills through a variety of tasks (construction, animal care, cooking, housekeeping, etc). The bedrooms and bathrooms for the volunteers could use some improvements due to the building's age. A little attention to these areas would make the stay even more comfortable :) Overall, this was a great experience - thank you Jonathan!

My experience on the farm was very enriching because I learned a lot of things. For example, I learned to eat healthier, and being in contact with nature makes you feel mentally calmer. I also practiced English with my colleagues, and most importantly, I take with me great friendships that I made. Thank you very much, Jonathan, for allowing me to get to know your farm.

My time at the farm was great and I learned a lot of handy new skills. Jonathan is a great teacher and host. The tasks vary in difficulty and if you are not comfortable doing a certain thing there is always something else to do. The meals were really great. Everyday 2 people cook lunch for everyone which we all eat together. And it's a great way to experience different cultures by eating. Overall I had a really great time and I'm sure I will find myself back in Devon in the future.

I am truly grateful for this month on the Jonathan's farm. I did meet people from different countries, I had an experience rural life, and I was also able to improve my English. I am grateful to Jonathan and all the friends who were with me during this time. La Berega!

I think Jonatan could only change the work schedule, giving people more time to get to know the place and have more time during the week, since we dedicate ourselves 100% to the farm, working 7 hours a day. It ends up straying a little from the worldpackers proposal, which is “volunteering”. Other than that, my experience was incredible, I had a very deep internal and external immersion, the place is beautiful, my room was comfortable and it was only for women. I met people from 8 different countries. I practiced English and Spanish. I thank Jonatan for the opportunity.

While I loved the farm itself, the scenery and learnt a lot, I did not have a good experience. Two weeks in, the host forced me to move from the girls room into the private room. This made me deeply uncomfortable, and I had to leave because I no longer felt safe. After I left, I contacted the host on Worldpackers, but he didn't really understand or address my concerns. He claimed this was for "practical reasons" citing space, scheduling and group dynamics, with no specifics. If you're trans, gender non-conforming or, like me, an ally often mistaken as such, I recommend avoiding this host.
