It was nice to spend time at the hotel, Mathew is a really polite person, 45 pounds are provided for your weekly food expenses and you work an average of 2-3 hours a day. There is a big national park nearby, you can go if you like it

Matthew really is an incredible person, very sociable, friendly and really after all the work he has every day, he takes the time to see each other at least once every two weeks in order to culturally get to know the ideas of each of the volunteers. . Without a doubt an incredible experience, I will return, thanks to the entire kitchen and administrative team, I am infinitely grateful and I will always wish you the best. See you soon Amigo :) , a hug.

I had a great experience at the hotel. Everyone that works there is lovely! The working hours were respected, tasks included cleaning the rooms, making beds and vacuuming. Brockenhurst is a cute town and well connected with lots of walking trails to explore. Thank you for everything!

I have had an amazing experience where I have met some wonderful people. The staff members make you feel very comfortable from the beginning. Brockenhurst is a beautiful village that is very well connected to other locations and is an ideal place to learn or practice English. I would highly recommend this volunteer placement and would come back again!

My experience at the Thached Hotel has great. The work was not hard, and the hours were respected. They are also very accommodating and flexible.the hosts were nice and social. The village was small and quiet, good for a getaway from big city hubbub. And it's very easy to get to the bigger, more populated cities by train. So there is something for everyone. In the end, I recommend this hotel as a place to da workaway in.
