hello,
We are an English family living in Spain 30+ years. We have had many workaways (please read their reviews) . We would like help with painting the guest cottage and gardening.
Private accommodation and food is included at the house with us. We are close to the beach and countryside.
Feel free to contact us with questions.
Cathy, Jim & Carla.
P.S. We have a cat/dogs.

Alojamiento
Guest cottage or bedroom in the house with food included in Sotogrande.
Algo más...
The workaway guests can join in with the yoga and hiking and there is a bike they can borrow to go to the beach. In the area there are many nice white moorish villages to visit but you would need a transport. There is country side inland where some like to go for a run. At the weekends there is the option to do day trips up the coast to Gibraltar, Tarifa and Marbella.

It was a pleasure to have Manon stay with us. She is a nice calm person and responsible. Her English is very good and the fact she has her own transport to get here was handy. She helped us clean and paint a roof top, clean inside and outside, paint chairs and do the gardening. I would recommend her and host her again.

Cathy and Jim are THE perfect WorkAway hosts. They made me part of their family, supported me in my work, were flexible when I needed to do personal stuff and appreciated what I did for them... They invited me out with their friends, shared their knowledge and delicious food... What a comforting experience this was. Thank you so much Cathy, Jim… read more

Fran is a gentle soul and very easy to have around as he is quiet and clean. He helped in the garden cutting back the palm tree leaves and branches and doing the many odd jobs around the house. We would welcome him back to our home again.

I had my first Workaway experience with this fantastic family, Cathy, Jim, Carla and also his friend Billy, it was a very good experience, where from the first moment they gave me a lot of confidence to feel one more in their house and that made me feel very thankful.

Frank was a great help and a pleasure to have around. He is strong, calm, polite and a good carpenter. He build us a wooden deck for the guest cottage out of recycled wood. He also made a tree swing for my daughter which she loves. We would welcome Frank back to our home.

Maro is a good worker. He is quiet, polite, clean and easy to have as a guest. He is strong and his English is very good. He helped us with the building and also was the first to offer to help in the kitchen. On the last day cleaned his room before he left, which I thought was mature and considerate for a 24 year old boy.

Tom and Lotti were fabulous, very positive and always cheerful. Tom is a good worker and knows a lot about building, he has a mature head on his shoulders. Lotti is all smiles and a whizz getting on with all the jobs I hate.

I really enjoyed my time with Cathy & Jim and Carla, Cathy and Jim are excellent hosts. They are inclusive and involved me in their lives.

Richard is brilliant. He is extremely capable with many valuable skills and is a perfectionist too. He may take longer to do a job, but he will do it better. Given that he was always working way over the 5 hours that was expected, he could take as long as he liked and we were always happy. He re plumbed our garden watering system, a physical and… read more

Kyle is a great guy and I can highly recommend him. He only stayed with us for a week but we made friends very quickly and he helped me paint the house. He is lots of fun and has had interesting life so full of stories. He is a good painter and cook. We hope he will return again someday.

I had a really good time staying with Cathy and Jim. They are really kind people with great accommodation and tasty meals cooked by Cathy every day. The work wasn't stressful, I mainly helped with building work and painting. Weekends off are great to visit the close beaches.

Jason is fabulous, he is a hard worker and good fun to have around. His dog Maya is really cool too, she is as chilled out as him. Jason helped us a lot with the building work and also was really good at cooking vegetarian meals. I can highly recommend him.

You couldn't hope to meet two nicer or more genuine people. I thought I'd be there for two weeks. 2 months later I had to drag myself away.
Jim and Cathy couldn't have made me feel more at home or more part of the family. I couldn't have spent Christmas and new year with better people. I was included in everything and introduced to everyone.… read more

It was a pleasure to have Craig stay with us. He is a nice relaxed guy who gets on with everyone. We especially liked listening to him play guitar. He worked hard in the garden digging and weeding etc. He also helped look after my daughter who liked him a lot. I would gladly recommend him.

Such a beautiful and friendly family! Extremely welcoming and generous. Straight forward work required at a lovely home in south of Spain. It was an absolute pleasure to help, to talk and to just be around this fantastic family including their beautiful little girl. A beautiful experience with beautiful people. Thankyou.
