Description
Our house is set in the most beautiful part of Hampshire and we have amazing views over the famous Test Valley. We are a family of 5 and love to welcome people into our home. We are looking for someone to help in the garden and around the house. We would also love someone to spend time with our children speaking German or French.

Help in the house
Language practice
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are an active family and we love to welcome people into our home. We have lived in the US and Germany in the past, so we understand the value of meeting people from other cultures. A Workaway would be made to feel extremely welcome!

We are in the heart of the most beautiful parts of Southern England, full of classic villages and country pubs. There are wonderful paths around here for running, walking and cycling. The Cathedral town of Winchester is 10 minutes away by car. We are also an easy train ride to London or the South Coast. So there is lots to do. Our children all speak German as well as English.
Help
We are a family of five who have recently moved into a new home in the UK. We have a big garden with a small woodland area that always needs maintenance and improvement. We are also always looking to do small projects and maintenance around the house.

Finally, we have three daughters. They speak fluent German (that they need to keep practicing) and they are learning French, so we would love someone to speak to them in German or French to them. They also love doing creative things and playing games, so any Workaway guest would need to be happy to join in!
Languages spoken

Nick, Catherine and the rest of their lovely family have been great hosts. They have cared for me, involved me into activities with their children and more. Additionally they are living in a great rural area with lots of nature and their house has an awesome view.

It was great having Friedrich and Aniki as Workaways. They were polite, reliable, hard working and great fun. They made a huge effort with our children and fitted in really well in the house. They both speak excellent English. I highly recommend them!

I had my first workaway experience with Nick and Catherine and it turned out to be better than I could have ever imagined.
They were very welcoming and although I just stayed with them for 1 week I felt like being a part of the family. It's never getting boring with their 3 daughters who love playing games, crazy piano and all have a very intense… read more

Ewen and Bren were great! They turned up on time, worked extremely hard and fitted into the family exceptionally well. I could not recommend them highly enough. As well as doing some manual labour they are also clearly talented tradesmen. Top blokes all round and I would have them back in a heartbeat.

Both Nick and Catherine were excellent hosts from beginning to end. Along with their three daughters who were all very polite and respectful during our stay. The guest house out the back was beyond our expectations and the perfect for our privacy when we needed it.

However they were more than happy to eat with us and let us join them whenever we… read more
