The host is a great project with a remarkable family (the Russells) and friends (Mark and Jim) at the center of it. The work is physically demanding, but very worthwhile as you can see the progress you have made immediately in the rising structure. The hosts are good at encouraging the work and ensuring that all is done safely. Their approach brings out the best in people, and a real sense of teamwork develops quickly among the volunteers with their guidance.

It's my first ever volunteer with worldpackers and the host provide me a really good experience that I will never forget about it. I have done many different kind of task that I have never done before and I learnt a lot from it. During my time there, I ate a lot of delicious food and the accommodation was so comfortable , and warm during this winter period. Thank you for everything that you provide to me Sam, Jim who I spent most of my time there with and quite sad that I could only meet Mark for one day.

One of the best experiences of my life. I volunteered from 1 Dec until 24 Dec. I met 5 other volunteers during this time, with whom I exchanged great stories and ideas. I came here with the purpose of practicing my French, testing and improving my physical strength and getting used to the cold weather. I found this experience liberating, and I gained new perspectives about life. The Morvan Natural Park is beautiful. I went jogging during those days and I had the chance to see rabbits, deers, lakes and beautiful forests. The villages are lovely.

The host is a travel through time and a beautiful experience immersed in the thicket of french hills. Generosity and kindness is something that you will find everyday here. Collaboration can be in multiples ways and I don't want to forget what the stone taught me about working with time and patience. The strengh that have the dreams when you work hard and with passion for it is something that you can see here too, and that was inspiring for me. Thank you so much one more time Sam, Donald, Suzy, Mark, I will treasure this experience forever.

It's hard to understate the sheer ambition required to build a Gothic edifice from the ground up. It's not something that people really do anymore, but they're doing it anyway. *We, I should say. We're doing it anyway. It was an incredible privilege to join the host team, if only for 3 short weeks. Sam & co were so warm and welcoming, thrilled to host volunteers and share their vision. You could feel the energy and excitement rising, not just onsite, but with every interview request, every local who's come to contribute another €20 to tour the work in progress. Truly inspiring.

The host is a nice place to go in order to practise lenguages and knowing new good people. They threatened me very well and the food was delicious. The job was hard but you have free weekends. You can adapt yourself to work hard and improve your knowledge in many things. I am a city girl but I am very glad to had lived this fantastic experience and I recomend it a lot.

My son and I spent two weeks at the host. It rained cats and dogs sometimes, we get used to some mud and discovered sore muscles that we didn't know we had… but we wished we could have stayed longer. The growing gothic edifice, being as impressive as it is, is dwarfed by the unlikely, inspiring and welcoming group of people formed by Don, Sam and the British residents and regular volunteers, Jim and Mark, plus the extra visit of ever smiling Sam's sister. We loved the work and learned a lot, but if you finally go you will soon learn that the best is the flesh and blood behind the stone.
