Description
In London I was a freelance journalist and author. Anna and I abandoned that life for the adventure of rescuing a very large, dilapidated historic house. After 15 years, we have achieved a lot, but there is so much left to do. Building; landscaping, developing a garden. Our business is in the broad category of hospitality. Not a hotel, not a B&B, a family house with guests. Our main business is hosting groups. Workshops, occasional weddings, family or friends reunions, classical, jazz and folk concerts. Small events over a weekend for 10 people, or sometimes a wedding for a 100. We have an annual tango week and a rugby festival. So, a diverse mix of events. All while keeping it feeling small and family orientated and not losing sight of why we came here.

we are a British-Polish family, and speak both languages. We are well known locally for classical music concerts - we have an excellent piano in a beautiful seventeenth century room - and our building might be the most historically important private one for many miles around. It is a lovely peaceful place.

Spring 2024 seems to be coming early. Every year we talk about creating a vegetable garden, and every year we are too busy to do it! Maybe this is the year...
Our 2024 rugby festival is weekend of August 17th. I really need help preparing for that, ideally for the two weeks before.
We are rescuing a very large house that dates from the Middle Ages We also have seven huge barns. We have too many projects, some are grunt work, some are creative, some are both. Like, how do we turn our granary barn into a glamping spaces? How do we build our natural swimming pool? We have a huge party barn. How can we decorate it? It already has a mud floor, but that needs extending and improving, if you want to know how to make a traditional mud floor, I can show you!
We run a pension and events, Weddings, concerts,a rugby festival. In Poland, but right on the Czech border. Me, I'm Jim, my wife, Anna, she's the boss, 6 kids, they all have opinions, and general chaos. We look after several hectares of land too, and it is all slightly too much for us. People often say, "So much potential." We want to realise it! Too many ideas, not enough time.Langues

Our best rooms are reserved for paying guests, especially in summer. We can set you up in a neighbouring apartment, or you can have a whole barn to yourself if you prefer that, there is space to put tents up in there. Eat with us, or cook for yourself, you can choose.

We are in the sticks, a small village surrounded by farms, 20 km from a town called Nysa, easily accessible from Wroclaw, Warsaw, Krakow by train or bus. On the Czech side, about 6 km from us, there's a station. You can get there from Prague or Vienna in about 6 hours. Ideal cycling region, there's wild swimming in quarries, hiking, plenty of history.

We needn't have worried, she was great. She stayed about a month, which is more than enough to get to know if you like someone, and we liked her.
She was willing to do anything - even messy jobs. We gave the task of filling in the cracks in the floorboards of a barn with putty… read more
