Can possibly accept pets
Yes.... but with big disclaimer. This is a rural area with LOTS of animals. We cannot afford problems with our neighbours. If your dog or cat kills chickens, that is a problem, if they get into fights with other animals that is also a problem. It is not ok to bring cats (or dogs) to biodiversity hotspots and let them kill anything that moves (there are very vulnerable species here such as newts, frogs, lizards, birds etc). Our dog does not go on the sofas or beds and we expect your companion animals to do the same (they can have their own cushion/blanket. So in short... yes but with responsibility and common sense.
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two
Hours expected
25 hours/week.
