Descripción
Covid-19 update. We have been in Spain, Portugal and France since January 2020 and returned to UK end March to comply with Brexit 90 day rule and visit family.
As of September we are now back in France. Please get in touch if you have independent accommodation with food or food budget available in return for work. We have good skills and experience, including housesitting. (Also registered with a housesitting website.)

Hi! We're Sue & Dave, happily married and enjoying life together. We are fit, energetic and have spent our spare time renovating our 200 year-old farmhouse, horse-riding, cycling, trail-running, looking after our animals, growing our own fruit and vegetables - whilst working full time.
We've decided to take some time out to travel, but would like to carry on doing the things we enjoy as well!

(Maintenance, Gardening and ...)

We highly recommend this Workaway. The description in the profile is very accurate, we had good communication with Paul re arrival and the accommodation was extremely comfortable. We did quite a lot of decorating and diy tasks. Paul gave very clear instructions and made sure all equipment/tools were available. We also appreciated their flexibility… read more

Was great to host Sue and Dave and they were a huge help, very proficient and able to work well on a variety of tasks. They were a pleasure to have around, and were super amenable and independant. A great workaway experience.

We were pleased to meet and Dave & Sue and enjoyed their company when we were together. We found them both reliable and hard working and as Dave is a builder the various light building, DIY and plumbing jobs were easily performed. Sue is a keen gardener and so helped with pruning etc as well as both painting jobs inside and out. Most often we… read more

(Rural farmhouse in Andalucia ...)

We have thoroughly enjoyed our 3-week Workaway for Carl and Maria in December. Carl explained the work was required at a villa 20 minutes away from their home. He sent photos of the villa so we could see where we would be living and working and we were very happy with the arrangements. Carl and Maria met us there with a warm, friendly welcome.

Sue and David belong to a category of helpers we call GOLD STANDARD. Mature, intelligent, energetic, strong, and nothing is too much trouble! They have strong initiiative and need no supervision. They are well travelled and their calm, accepting disposition is testament to this. If you can bag these guys as helpers you're very lucky indeed. We… read more

We have enjoyed a very special Workaway experience with Kitty and Nick. Covid regulations in Spain meant that we got there 6 days earlier than planned so that we could house and cat sit and they could be at their new property (in a different municipality) before the new restrictions kicked in. We were extremely comfortable at Casa and Diego the… read more

Sue and Dave were exemplary workawayers – everything you could possibly want in helpful guests. Friendly, responsive, autonomous, and jolly good company. They worked really hard on a range of tasks and made a great team. They made a huge difference to our garden, which had been neglected over the summer, getting stuck in every day with pruning,… read more

We have just finished two weeks and a couple of extra days at this great Workaway assignment. The description of everything in their host profile is exactly how it was for us. Anne and Crosbie are very easy to get along with - they gave clear instructions of the tasks/jobs that needed to be done and also invited us to share a couple of meals and… read more

While we were stuck in the Netherlands due to the Corona problems, we found ourselves in trouble for we had arranged for a house sitter for just ten days and our house sitter needed to leave for Belgium.
Dave and Sue were scheduled to stay with us in April if there wouldn't be a lock down and we were so bold to ask them if they could house sit… read more

We were scheduled to join Amanda & Herman for 2 weeks Workaway in April, but with Covid-19 this changed. They were in Holland in March and unable to return to the quinta and we were in Portugal already, so the 2-week Workaway turned into a 12-week housesit, until they were able to safely return. We wish to leave this feedback as much will be… read more

The communication prior to arrival was great. Chantelle always quick to reply. We were fortunate to have accommodation in one of the hotel bedrooms, prior to their refurb. The tasks were just as described to us:- we assembled a log cabin, various gardening duties, sanding & oiling garden furniture, preparing trellis for repainting and some help… read more

Sue & Dave fitted in immediately and with their considerable experience with animals, building, renovating and gardening combined with common sense and good humour made them a pleasure to host. They quickly became independent workers identifying what needed doing and getting on with it. They were both great with the dogs and Sue has the benefit of… read more

We spent 4 weeks in Benalup with Sandra during January and early February. The moment we arrived we were made to feel most welcome, taking us shopping for provisions, showing us the way round town, introducing us to her lovely animals and taking us out for welcome tapas. The casita was just as described, very well equipped and comfortable - we… read more
