Descripción
We live in the Aude department in the South of France. We have been here for 12 years and we love it, but it is a large house and has a lot of grounds so we could do with some help - general repairs and lots to do in the garden!
My partner Alan and I are from Scotland. We love it here it is very picturesque, with the lovely rolling hills and the green countryside. We have four dogs, a cat, a parrot and some chickens so you've got to love animals to come here.
If you'd like to join us and enjoy this part of France please get in touch

I had a good time whilst I was staying with Catriona and Alan, (+the dogs Misty, Coco, Clova, Sootie and the puppies McKenzie, Mc Robert, with their great imitator Mac the parrot...oh and the cat!) who welcomed me warmly in their big house. The gardening on their land gave me great pleasure and energy to and I therefore enjoyed our nice and… read more

I just spent 10 wonderful days with this lovely couple helping in the gardens at their guesthouse/B&B. Katriona and Alan made me feel very welcome and part of the household; as well as did the dogs, kitty, and "Mac" the parrot. The room was way above what was expected with such a stunning view. The food was delicious and healthy. As I came… read more

We stayed with Alan and Catriona for just over two weeks and they were wonderful hosts. We were made to feel so welcome and we can't thank them enough for having us. Catriona is a fantastic cook and mealtimes were always a delight.

Catriona & Allan are a really wonderful caring couple . I stayed with them at their lovely B&B in a lovely location surrounded by beautiful fields full of sunflowers. I enjoyed helping out doing garden work and fixing some tiles around the pool and giving a hand to generally tidy up around the place . They are very kind and relaxed and… read more

We could not have asked for a better Workaway. This place was paradise! Catriona and Alan are two of the nicest people I've ever met, and it was such a pleasure to spend our time in the Pyrenees with them. Catriona is a fantastic cook and Alan is a wonderful guide. They're both incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the history, and so much… read more

Alan and Catriona are one of the best hosts we had the pleasure to meet! They really know how Workaway should be: a real exchange experience. With delicious meals and hilarious conversations, weeks at the Domaine just passed too fast.

Mike and I had an amazing first work away experience with Alan and Catriona. We helped out with gardening on their beautiful property that looked out to the Pyrenees Mountains. Each day either during or after our working day we were rewarded with a refreshing swim in their pool. We also ate like nobility as Catriona is a talented cook, even during… read more

Alan and Catriona are fabulous! I stayed there in Mya for two and a half weeks. It was a very unusual rainy time - ugh! But even so, I had a lovely time. Catriona is an amazing cook. I ate like nobility and put on ten pounds! Alan is a font of knowledge about nearly anything especially everything in the vicinity and was very generous with his time… read more

An example of hospitality and friendliness! Alan and Catriona treated me like a member of the family, I felt very much at home and spoiled with excellent food. Even with difficulties around, they keep their positive attitude and humour... two great people!
