    Help

    I am needing help with household duties. Cooking cleaning etc. Also in the garden and with the horses. So some one with horse experience would be good. You will have the opertunity to ride ( English saddles ) helping fetch hay. Stack wood. Cut grass etc and spend some time helping to build a rock garden. Fence the garden and help renovate an old cottage belonging to my Aunty. You must be able to cook. As I’m no good at it but enjoy eating!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    This place is quiet. And ideal for nature lovers. We have a lot of birds of prey. Wild bore. Wolves. And brown bears in the mountains . There is a good bus service in the local village. And the medieval mountain villages are waiting to be explored. The beach is 20 mins away and the beautiful coastal town of vasto a short bus drive away. Please note this is non paid work. We offer food. Accommodation and an insight into our world. it is remote. and would probably apeal to older people who like a quiet pace of life.
