It was my first volunteering and I can say with complete clarity that it was an experience that I will always cherish, thank you very much Anthony for teaching me the art of ceramics, Maria, thank you for letting me make some typical dishes from my country, you are a great family, the children Euan , Idilia and Shirley-Jane left a wonderful mark on me, also connecting with volunteers like Aline, Luis and Lorena made my experience wonderful. Thank you for teaching me about your culture and a little English. God bless you more every day. I'm going to miss them

I had my first volunteer experience with the Parfitt family and it couldn't have been better. Everyone has an endearing personality and takes an interest in you. They always have a kind word to say and time to give you if you need it. It feels like being part of the family. I taught French and did a bit of food preparation, I had never done it before and I was pretty stressed, but Maria explained everything very well and there's no pressure, so you really enjoy doing it. She's very patient and always answers questions with a smile. It was a very enriching experience and wonderful meetings.

My time at the home was amazing! I spent two months there, and it flew by. Maria, Anthony, their children, and friends were very welcoming. I mainly worked with Anthony in the field—harvesting, weeding, planting, and caring for animals. Anthony explains tasks clearly and is encouraging, which I appreciated. Their house is just a five-minute walk from the sea, and there are great hikes nearby. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to discover a beautiful spot with wonderful people

Je conseille sans hésiter ce volontariat. Cette famille est débordante de gentillesse et de générosité. Les enfants sont matures et pleins de bonnes valeurs. J'ai été accueillie comme un membre de la famille, conviée à toutes les activités et toujours la bienvenue pour tout. Je suis arrivée avec un très faible niveau d'anglais et tout le monde m'a aidée à progresser dans la bienveillance. Je vous remercie tellement pour l'incroyable expérience que j'ai vécue avec vous, et j'espère vous revoir très vite. 🫶

J'ai passé un agréable séjour à the home! La famille est adorable, on a fait beaucoup d'activités ensemble (jeux de société, films) ! On y mange très bien, le pain fait maison est très bon ! Le travail est simple, à la portée de tout le monde, et le planning est bien respecté ! Une incroyable expérience pour ma part ! Merci encore Maria, Antoni et les enfants pour l'accueil :)

The family is so friendly, I felt very well received, as I were another member of the family. The kids are a charm, and I am going to miss playing cards, listening to the piano, painting with watercolors, making jewelry and the film nights. I have memories that I keep fondly Also, I had a lot of free time that I spent visit the surroundings( ridind the bike). It was my first volunteering, all my experience was an adventure outside of my comfort zone , and my expectations we're over met.

The family is very welcoming, they included us in everything, we really felt like part of the family. We always had all meals together, Maria always cooked, and Antony makes a very good bread! The kids are adorable, I really have a lot of affection for everyone and I will never forget you all! We were supposed to stay from March to early May and we decided to extend for one more month because the family is wonderful and I improved my English a lot! Thank you for everything ❤️

Wow. This month long experience has been so incredibly fun, beautiful, peaceful, full of love and overall pretty life changing. Maria and Anthony are absolutely amazing hosts who will respect your hours, free time and space (you get a hut all to yourself!!) while also making you feel like you are part of family and including you in everything they do if that's what you want! The kids are also absolute gems!! This is a great place if you like walking, swimming and birdwatching! The Parfitts live a very sustainable, healthy , simple lifestyle that was perfect for me❤️

Emélie stayed with us in the month of February with the brief of teaching our children French and helping out with general household chores. However, this mature 19 year old brought much more to the family with her gentleness, warm, intelligence and sense of humour.
Firstly, she has an eclectic taste in music that supersedes many of the young people we have come across and we relished listening to it; especially while cooking in the kitchen with our 14 year old son.
Apart from teaching French to the children, she taught some songs on the guitar to our eleven year old daughter (in French) and a wonderful piece from the film Amélie on the piano to our son and daughter. She taught them to sketch in pencil and paint in watercolours of seascapes and flowers. Emélie was also a natural in encouraging our daughter with Downs Syndrome to draw “faces” and built a very special relationship with her.
Indeed, Emélie is a catalyst for creating things to the point that, from her inception, we made a music video together called “Pembrokeshire Skies”.
In addition, she is willing and hardworking and always available to help where needed. Often – “Could you scrub some potatoes?” would translate into a delicious meal be cungered up with laughter and singing to be heard along the way.
