    Description

    Hello, we are an English couple in our sixties that have a 2 bedroom c1750 house in Cherval, France. We have a renovation project attached to our house that we need help doing a lot of pointing. It is a 2-man job so any help would be great! We can offer a bedroom that has a double bed and it is a shared bathroom. A single bed could be added if required. We live in a quiet hamlet but the local village does have restaurants/bars and in the Summer live music nights. We love cooking, especially barbecuing and George cooks a mean curry! We are very sociable and Jan offers Afternoon Teas in her vintage barn. Ideally, a couple who don't mind sharing would be great but we're sure we could work around it. We look forward to working with you and hosting you.
