What's this?

Details

Description
We have a large house and garden with lots of outbuildings so there are always jobs to keep everything under control, such as gardening, cleaning, building maintenance, fruit picking and cooking. We also run a campsite and have people who rent rooms from us long term. So its fun here with lots of new people coming and going. You will not be asked to help with our business, but if you choose you can practice your English on our guests. Let me know if you love to paint we are looking for someone to do a Mural this year.
Type of help
Gardening
Building
General Maintenance
Cooking / shopping
Help with Eco project
Help in the house
Art project
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are happy to help you improve your English and will sit down every evening to have a chat over a meal. I also try (although it is not always possible) to make sure that if we have more than one workaway you don't speak the same language as you learn a lot more English this way. You can also explore the countryside here, we are in the heart of Robin Hood country and there are some beautiful walks just outside the front door as well as some historic old towns a short train journey away. You could end up learning all sorts of things from the varied tasks and you will hopefully find out that some English people can cook.
Help
We are looking for people to help outdoors with gardening and general maintenance. If you have any gardening experience or eco experience, we would love to hear form you. We also need help with cleaning, and cooking all the fruit and vegetables we grow in our garden. But it really doesn't matter what experience you have as long as you are happy to muck in.
Languages spoken
English
Accommodation
Caravan, maybe sharing with one other person.
What else ...
We both love to travel and in fact took a middle-aged-gap year about 7 years ago, so we know what it's like to want to see the world - we found that it's great to see the sights but the most memorable things are always about the people we met. We are now experienced hosts having had 50+ helpers in the last few years, we really enjoy having people come to stay and based on our reviews people love staying here too.

The stay in Retford was the start of my journey through the UK. It was a great start. Chopping or moving wood, picking the raspberrys or preping the garden for the winter. The dinners varied and every evening was another small suprise. Thanks to Andy and Liza for being so kind to me.

Adrian is a great worker, for instance he dug a hole we expected him to take 2 hours to do in 20 minutes.
His English is not great but he is working on it and has enough to communicate what we wanted him to do.
We would recommend him as a very hard worker.

Greg has very very good English and was a joy to work with. You could set him off on a task and he would just get on with it without need for supervision. He is a friendly guy and we would definitely recommend him. Christophe was equally hard working and easy to get on with but had less English but was making considerable efforts to learn and… read more

Liza and Andy have been excellent hosts. They gave us various tasks, gardening, cleaning, building, painting and cooking. They were really patient and always had something to teach us. So it was really interesting and we were happy to help on this beautiful place. I could not recommend them even more =)

A fantastic couple! They worked really hard, were self starters, were neat and tidy and did the little things that really make a difference like helping unload the dishwasher without being asked. They are both full of energy and spent their time off exploring the near by peak district. They were a pleasure to host. Petras English is really good,… read more

I stayed with Andy and Liza for two weeks. They are perfect hosts and really lively people. The job was funny and varied. I mainly worked in the garden. The place is peaceful and relaxing and the house is very big, which is perfect because everyone has his own space. It is possible to visit various tourist places using public transport and to meet… read more

Francesco was a great work away and worked very hard for us sorting out things in our garden. He does not have much English but we still managed to communicate well and he studied all the time he was with us and got better and more confident over the two weeks. Thanks for helping us out Francesco it was a pleasure to meet you.

We loved having Claudia here with us. She was a hard worker and always happy to help. You could set her up with a job and she would then just get on with it, which is just what you need.

Celine was a hard worker and we were lucky and happy to have her. She has a bubbly personally a good sense of humor and lots of enthusiasm . We were able to give her a list of things to do in the garden and around the house and she would just get on with it which makes it easy.

We really love having Romain with us. He is just a really nice guy, a bit shy to begin with but as his confidence in talking in English grew we found he has a wicked sense of humour. He did lots of gardening and various other jobs including DIY, cleaning and cooking. He worked very hard and didn't complain about a few boring jobs we needed… read more

Lysiane and Clemence stayed with us for two weeks in June. They were lovely and we wished they could have stayed longer.
