Descripción
I live in a Grade 2 listed Georgian Rectory in the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands area, at the foot of the Peak District National Park. There is comfortable living accommodation in the house, with space for 2 travellers. I have a smallholding with 2 large Newfoundland dogs and goats.

Travellers would learn about the local environment with the Peak District on the doorstep.
Ayuda
Volunteers would need to be experienced with big dogs. I have 2 Newfoundlands aged 9 and 10
.
Cleo needs a daily walk of about half an hour.
Duke has anxiety after having spent several years in an abusive environment. I have had him for 4 years and he is a loving and gentle dog. He gets exercise in my large garden but is not walked every day. He is very anxious of other dogs.
You would take care of my dogs whilst I am away. I would of course ask you to keep the house clean and tidy during your stay.Idiomas

Algo más...
Being at the foot of the Peak District National Park there are numerous visitor attractions, historic buildings and famous gardens plus fantastic hill walking in the area. We are also near to the famous Potteries region where traditional china potteries still operate using old techniques. We are 4.5 miles away from the theme park Alton Towers.
Please note that Kingsley is a small village in a rural community. There is one small shop in the village and there are two pubs in walking distance.
The nearest town is about 2.5 miles away. There is a bus that goes from outside the house.
The location is very rural, but there are bus and train routes. The city of Stoke on Trent is 8 miles away. The Peak District towns of Buxton, Leek, Bakewell are reachable by bus within half an hour to an hour. Since Covid, buses have annoyingly become less frequent but there are still several buses per day to Cheadle/ Uttoxeter and Stoke on Trent.
There are nice walks in the area and a picturesque canal and river are within walking distance.
Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, London, Oxford are within 1-2 hours by train.
There are a couple of mountain bikes for the more adventurous.
As no work is required other than looking after my dogs I no longer provide food for workawayers.Un poco más de información

She is probably the most courageous and adventurous woman that I have ever met. She has done so many things in her life that most people can’t imagine! Around the house she was very clean, tidy and organised. The dogs love her.

I loved every minute of it. Nikki is such an amazing person, her dogs just love to be loved and cuddled and the house is fab.

Our mainly job was dogs sitting, and I cleaned the house sometimes.
Luckily, Duke and us became friends quickly! Cleo was always polite.
When I stayed with dongs in livingroom, I was able to enjoy their snoring. And I've enjoyed her garden with dogs. Cleo will wait expectantly for you… read more
The main duties were obviously the dogs - I learnt more about doggy medicine and care then I thought I would ;) - but they are both lovely and easy to manage.

She doesn’t have many life skills but has pushed herself out of her comfort zone to learn some. It is courageous to do Workaway in the current climate.
Hannah was tidy and respectful. She did the tasks that I asked her to. I showed her how to do gardening tasks, painting and cleaning.

We stayed 3 months at Nicki's and it was a great adventure. Nicki is adorable, and this summer has been a great time for us two.
We love working with animals, dogs, goats, horses and without forgetting Bruce the goose.
See you Nicki ! ;)
If you're looking to stay in a breathtakingly beautiful part of the world, in a 200 year-old quintessential English mansion, with friendly dogs, horses, goats, and even chickens, with a funny, intelligent, warm and generous host, together with a long-term (and most awesome) workawayer...then my friends...do not look any… read more
