Experience the Lake District along with living with an English family in a beautiful, rural location

Description

Our old farmhouse is in the middle of the Cumbrian country-side surrounded by fields and wildlife but only three miles from the shops of Wigton and eight miles from the historic city of Carlisle.
My husband and I have lived here for nearly 14 years and would like to welcome people to share our wonderful home and help with a few jobs of painting, gardening, tidying up and general maintenance.
We keep hens and have a cat and dog - a black lab.
