Our experience with Andy and Liza was perfect, they are very kind and respectful, complying with everything agreed upon. We feel very comfortable and the place is very beautiful. They helped us a lot with the language. The work was simple, they always respected the schedules. They included us in meals with their friends. We tried typical English food and it was excellent. Experiencia super recomendable.

Liza and Andy were incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts. The tasks I did were mainly weeding, gardening, cleaning the campground and house, and housekeeping for their rental caravan. They were very respectful of my free time after working hours. I had a caravan to sleep in, which had electricity and a mini fridge, and used the campground toilets/showers (though we could use the ones inside the house, too). Everyone took turns cooking dinner for the group each night, and they provided food and snacks for breakfast/lunch. Going to town or the train station was about a 20-25 minute walk.

Andy and Liza treated me great, it was my first time volunteering and I felt very welcome, I will miss eating those raspberries, I am very grateful to everyone for the way they treated me and welcomed me, I highly recommend this place. You connect a lot with nature but if you are afraid of spiders I hope you are prepared to see them hahahaha. I wish the best for them, they are really good people. ❤️

I felt welcomed, appreciated and trusted at the camping. Communication with Liza and Andy was always open and pleasant, and they are always patient to explain until you really understand . Tasks are fair and easy, working time is respected, you have your own caravan and it is comfortale. Other than work you will also learn wisdom of life. The area is good for jogging and lots of places to visit during the days-off. The only thing you might fail at is if you want to lose weight...as the volunteers and hosts take turns to cook, you would not miss the chance to appreciate a world kitchen at home.
