Hello, my name is Elissa and I live on the borders of England and Wales in Herefordshire, within 4 miles of the beautiful market town on Monmouth. I live in a large historic house with my dog and cats and pet sheep.

The area I live in is steeped in history with many local places to visit and beautiful walks. I often travel around the county and would happily take some with me. Both Monmouth and Hereford are lovely towns with lots going on. There is a bus stop outside my property. I love to go around markets looking for antiques and interesting things and you would be welcome to join me. I also go fly fishing on the local river during the summer and can take a guest. I am engaged in work to improve local water quality and would be happy to share this knowledge.
I also write stories and poems and would be happy to share any insights I may have.
Local pubs have great bands on the weekend so good for music lovers.
Ayuda
Ideally I am looking for a couple or single person who is happy outdoors. Any experience with sheep or animals in general would be fantastic.

I am mainly looking for help with the outside areas of my property, this may include some gardening. Also some help around the house would be great, some DIY type activity or just cleaning, cooking etc.

This is good exchange for those who are self starters, enjoy working independently and are keen gardeners. For me I enjoyed the daily walks and ball play with dogs, freeing the sheep from the brambles, thistle pulling and clearing the brook of weeds as this meant I was out in the paddocks. I also helped clean the bnb accommodation. It was nice… read more

Kim stayed for a couple of weeks and it was a complete pleasure hosting her. She gets stuck in to any task and gets it done. Really easy and interesting company.
She is fantastic with animals.

I spent a lovely 3 weeks with Elissa, her gorgeous spaniel May and Buzz the bouncy black lab who was also staying for a while (separate from the cats, who had their own wing of the house so I didn't see so much of them). I loved working in the garden, pruning, weeding and mulching. I also helped Elissa with the sheep and pulled quite a few… read more

Elissa was a perfect host for my first Workaway stay I felt welcome and at home upon arrival and the area she lives is beautiful. Easy links into the nearby towns on your time off Elissa was flexible on the work needing doing to fit in with sightseeing time for myself. Plenty to do for people with a bit of initiative and putting some effort in.… read more

In no time at all Louise settled in and became a member of the family. She was happy in the garden and luckily the weather was good. Louise is really fun, interesting, kind and she works with integrity. A pleasure to be her host.

Where can I begin? I have stayed for almost 9 months with Elissa. The best 9 months of my life. I have learned a lot about everything, from how to paint a wall to how to deal with antiques. Where to buy the best food (chocolate included) and how to pet a sheep.

The best cultural exchange or my life. I will be always grateful with Elissa, May,… read more

wow, what can I say? Carlos got stuck here for months because of the pandemic. He is very easy going, funny, great at making pizzas, hard working and it was a genuine pleasure to host him. Come back Carlos!

Zih Syuan, or Ann from Taiwan, is a lovely person to host. We had some great times doing a range of things. Ann was hard working (my windows have never looked so clean) and very good company. Excellent English speaker, interested in history and nature. We had some great chats and I really enjoyed hosting her. I would be totally happy to host Ann… read more

I had a great time staying at Elissa's beautiful, big house. Elissa is politically active and interested in political and cultural topics, therefore I had very interesting conversations and a great cultural exchange with her. Her lovely and enthusiastic dog May joins in on all the outdoor activities.
Thanks for welcoming me into your home and… read more

Thank you for staying with me. Mark and Julia are very special people, thoughtful, kind, they do everything with good humour and a sense of fun. My spaniel misses them both! I would be very happy if they came again and we can try more great vegetarian cooking and Marks world famous pancakes.

Lovely Elissa took us last minute Canadians into her home with such a warm welcome. We had a workaway cancel and when we reached out to Elissa she was flexible and again I must add so warm & welcoming!

We did outdoor & indoor work. Both were a pleasure. The land around Elissa’s beautiful historic home is breathtaking.
We did some hedge… read more

We stayed only one week with Elissa and Nick (another brilliant workawayer) and we would highly recommend this workaway experience.

Elissa lives in an amazing house (very old, very big, very beautiful) in a wonderful landscape.
Her sheep are so curious and really like pet-sheep. May, the English springer spaniel, will accompany you when you are… read more

We had a great time staying at Elissa's house. It's a beautiful place, with lots of vegetation and huge trees
Elissa tries to clean the land without chemicals, loves to recycle, and is very aware about the energy consumption, which is great :)
We spent most of the time helping outside, with great views, the hours went flying, and of course we had… read more

Elissa was a perfect host, i didnt stay long enough! I stayed with Elissa the end of July/start of August. Luckliy i was able to enjoy the best summer the UK has had in some time - I spent my days working in the garden, ´sheep husbandry´, fixing up a few things, and generally helping out around the place. Elissa provides excellent accomodation and… read more

What can I say to adequately convey how brilliant Jonathan is - I only hope he comes to stay again as he would always be very welcome. Capable, good humoured, easy to get on with, great with the sheep, worked with a good heart and able to tackle everything from lawn mower repair to sheep wrestling. It was a total pleasure to have his company for… read more

Thanks Elissa for the review :) But it was an absolute pleasure spending time with you, and May,
made even easier with you being a great host, laid back and easy going.
Fully recommend Elissa as an excellent host and to anybody looking to enjoy a bit of the wonderful English/Welsh border country side.
Thanks! Elissa :)x Hope to see you again soon.

Nick was my first work away experience and he couldn't have been better. I hope he comes again. He is friendly and easy to get on with but also tactful and knows when the host wants a bit of space. Hard working, steady and reliable with a great range of skills and a willingness to have a go at most things (including sheep turning). Totally… read more
