Beschreibung
We are currently working on a renovation on the stunning Isle of Lewis. Alongside this we are working on our Croft which is three acres and runs down to the sea.
We have hosted happy workawayers for a number of years!
We plan to have several helpers during the course of this year. We would be more interested in any helpers wishing to stay for longer periods of time (although happy to consider shorter periods).
The Isle of Lewis is in the Outer Hebrides, the croft is by the sea. It’s beautiful, remote and wild with amazing beaches and abundant wildlife.
There is loads of outdoor activities, stunning beaches, wildlife and sites of historic interest. In Stornoway there are pubs, coffee shops, restaurants, sports centre, a castle, a cinema.
All helpers would be supplied with warm, clean, comfortable and private accommodation.
I’m Tina and I’m very adaptable, friendly and have run all aspects of my own small businesses for a long time now. I unfortunately lost my lovely husband Norman in 2021, I have two daughters living abroad and a son, Calum who lives here in Scotland. Our three dogs Breagha, Tala and Chilli are very friendly and popular with our workaway guests.
I have two young, skilled and easygoing joiners working full time and also use some local skilled tradesmen. We use Workawayers to complete the team and have a good positive working environment where helpers have plenty of opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends.
At present we are looking for people who have experience in renovation (or are hands on and wish to learn) and can help also with cleaning, general maintenance work and some gardening.
I have elderly parents who sometimes need help and are happy to pay for care and cleaning.

Foss is a great central location to explore Scotland.
Would suit people with a love the sea and of outdoor activities.
The Hebrides are remote, spiritual and very special Islands. The area is famed for its special light, frequent sightings of the Aurora Borealis, stunning and quiet beaches and an abundance of wildlife and sea life. One of the best whale watching spots in Europe is within easy walking distance. There’s a regular bus service into Stornoway which is a bustling town with plenty of activity (pubs, coffee shops etc) and regular live music. The locals are very friendly and there are normally plenty of opportunities to explore.
