Descripción
I live with my husband a few miles outside Arbroath in the countryside in an 18th century house with a big garden, with a lovely sandy beach about 3 miles away. There are also a seacliff path of several miles to explore. We have grown up children who visit. We have dogs, cats and chickens. Arbroath is on the mainline to London, with good links to other parts of Scotland. The area is very attractive farmlands with the Angus glens close by as well as the coast to explore. Dundee is 40 minutes away by car and is a great cultural centre with art,theatre and cinema. Arbroath is an attractive seaside town with a swimming pool, golf, library, sports centre, theatre, cinema and excellent fish and chip shops.

Ayuda
I would like help to make to extend my flower borders. This would involve digging and planting and weeding. There would also also be some work with bringing in cut wood to be stored for the winter.I would also like help with painting and decorating in the house, and general sorting out.

Alojamiento
Bedroom with shower/bathroom and eating with the family, the bedroom is on another floor to the rest of the family so there is a lot of privacy.
Algo más...
This area has many interesting and historical buildings, lots of walks, and in October the autumn colours of the trees around us are very beautiful. The east of Scotland is one of the sunniest places in the UK, altho not the warmest! I have often had au pairs in the past who have helped when my children were little so I am used to sharing my home and enjoy meeting new people. There would be a bicycle for your use and also a car depending on your age and driving experience.

Super nice people, we loved living there for a few weeks experiencing the countryside life. The house is beautiful, we loved to walk the 3 whippets around and enjoying a rare weather over there (almost all sunny days in Scotland!!).
They were easy on us about the tasks we had to do. When they were out for a few days they filled up the fridge with… read more

Matias and Joanna helped me for three weeks and I recommend them to other workaway hosts They were quick at the jobs I gave them and keen to get them right. They did a great job of painting the tennis court and looking after my pets when we were away. They were good company and easy to have around and I enjoyed meeting them.

It was our first experience as workawayers and it couldn’t be better. The house is well decorated and cozy so we felt very comfortable living there. We stayed in a double bedroom on base floor of the house with our own bathroom. We had lot of privacy.

The work was easy and enjoyable: gardening (digging, planting, weeding), picking fruit and… read more

Rahel was a delight to have to stay. She was so helpful and good company. She had sole charge of seven puppies whilst I was away and looked after them so well. She played with them and cleared up after them as well as caring for my two adult dogs and three cats, as well as the geese and chickens. I was very happy that she came to help out!

It was my first experience with workaway and I am glad that it was with Kate and Simon. They and their friends are very friendly and nice. I regret I couldn´t get to know them more, because my english wasn´t good enough. I stayed there for 3 weeks and I enjoyed it a lot. Everything was super, I loved their animals, house, garden, and beach, where… read more

I stayed one month with Kate and Simon and I really had a great time with them.
The work was not to hard, I made mainly painting and gardening.
If you like doing sport, there is a beach not far from the house where you can run or bicycle. There is also a tennis court in the garden where we played some times.
Kate, Simon and their friends are great… read more

I can't thank Cate and Simon enough for the wonderful 3 weeks I was able to spend with them. Together with a french Workawayer we did mainly outdoor maintenance and gardening work: weeding, planting, sanding, painting,... But there is enough free time to play some tennis, take a walk and explore the area. Arbroath has a good train and bus… read more

Thais and Rafael were great to have to stay and were very helpful in the garden and painting. We enjoyed getting to know them, learning about Brazil and having them in the house. They put up with the Scottish cold very well! They helped me alot with my design for a new garden feature and were enthusiastic and cheerful.

Every night we had a good conversation over dinner and it was great.

And the dogs are… read more
