This was not my first Worldpackers experience, but it was definitely the best! I was surrounded by beautiful nature and views and lived in an incredible house immersed in aforementioned nature and where I could learn useful life skills, but the best part of this experience were definitely the hosts. James and Sam could always manage to make me feel welcome, their house felt more like an home for the days I was there. I always felt welcome, never out of place and they always went out of their way to make me feel like that. Noodle was also lovely Thank you for such an incredible experience!

I absolutely loved my experience at Corrèze the guest house! Sam and James welcome you in like family, so you can't help but to feel excited to help out. You are in the country side, so this is definitely an experience to connect with nature and enjoy the simple things in life. You are expecting to help out with breakfast and dinner service for guests, simple tasks around the house, and some cleaning. Sam is respectful of the exchange and you have about 5-6 hours of free time a day. I enjoyed learning new skills like foraging for mushrooms and working in the garden. Thanks Sam and James<3

Sam & James are an amazing winning team when it comes to unrivaled services through both their cyclist and B&B. Always devoted to providing the very best experience to their guests an volunteers. A strong sence of caring and the highest quality treatment are the trademarks that follow their work every day. Sam is an amazing Chef and I felt deeply honored when she shared many of her gourmet recipes with me. They are such excellent hosts, and will treat you with the utmost care, respect and professionalism. I am happy to say I am taking with me such a wonderful experience!

If you have any interest in cooking, gardening, bicycles, and/or hospitality - Corrèze the guest house is a must! Sam, James, & Noodle will treat you like family from the moment you step through the door. High season responsibilities primarily consist of light housekeeping, setting the dining table, meal prep, dinner service, & dishes. Some favorite moments include foraging for chanterelles, exploring the various communes of Corrèze with Sam, eating many a delicious meal, chatting with the kind guests, and being able to learn, firsthand, how a successful B&B operates. What a great experience!

Sam and James were gracious hosts, welcoming us into their beautiful countryside home and garden. The work was varied and fun - from food preparation to gardening to light housekeeping. Probably the best sleeping accommodations I've had while volunteering, and Sam's cooking was “magnifique.” Along with enjoying the pool, trails, and forests, we took many trips to the market and to nearby towns and festivals. As a volunteer, be ready to move quick on your feet, listen eagerly, and have a wonderful time!
