Country: France

Description

Come and join us in our small B&B in Central France. We would like some help in the house for change overs and watering the garden as all the planting of our vegetable and flowers has been done.If you are interested in a long or short term stay we would like help in finishing some building projects, such as finishing the new outside shower and toilet.
Malcolm, Gary and Graham have finished working on the barn roof. We hope to have a games room done some time but not this year as we have run out of time and money, are you builder who needs a project next winter 2010/2011? we need help in re-roofing our main house. Helpers would have the caravan and have a toilet and shower and their own kitchen when it's done, so at the moment you have to use the inside loo and shower. We also have bikes for you to use. If it is something you would like to do please email us and do contact us for transport options, eg, Ryan Air, Trains. Thanks Edward and Malcolm

Malcolm and I have been here since July 2003 and have renovated this house and done the garden in that time , it took us 2 1/2 years to renovate so we could open as a B&B, we have 4 rooms and can take up to 12 people.
We have had some great helpers this year and we hope to meet some more later in the year and coming years.

I stayed with Malcolm and Edward for three weeks and had a fab time. I did a mixture of work - help with the change over of rooms, work in the vegetable patch and polytunnels, and helping out at dinnertime. They are superbly generous and easy to get along with. With their bikes I was able to explore the lovely countryside surrounding them too. Thanks for a lovely time.
