Description
Amanda (half French) language teacher and entrepreneur, moved back to the Gers to an old farmhouse near Jegun almost 11 years ago. End of track situation amongst rolling hills. 3.5 hectares. 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses - Arab, Lippizaner horse and 'BugBug' the Shetland
I live in the main house and the other end of the long farmhouse is an independent 3 bedroom 2 bathroom holiday home. I always need help with small decorating jobs, tidying, spring cleaning in the house, and outside always lots of trimming/cutting down/strimming trees & shrubs. Weeding flower beds, and lts of small maintenance jobs.
For someone with good woodwork skills, there are a couple of fun projects!
Plus always tidying up huge old barns. It's a peaceful situation with fabulous views of Pyrenees (1.5 hours away) . I have a swimming pool that's open May-Oct. -

Hébergement
Out of season I offer luxury holiday accommodation next to the house where there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I love having couples who are self contained and who enjoy our place. I give money for food, the system works well. It's also better for our Workaways to have their own transport since it's
quite a walk to Jegun. -
Autres infos...
Auch 17 mins by car buses available in Jegun (7 mins away by car) . Toulouse is 1 hour by car, trains from Auch. I can take volunteers to bus stop/train station. Jegun is a friendly village with a bar ( is also an irish pub!), restaurant, Casino supermarket. Vic Fezensac is 15 minutes by car.
Ideal for country lovers, but for weekends lots of culture & city life in Auch & Toulouse if wanted. Beautiful for walking/cycling. Local chateaux etc for culture vultures. Little local concerts most weekends in villages.
I am very friendly, but equally respect that volunteers (and me) need 'me-time'. I am used to receiving foreign students for language courses and exchanging cultural ideas/cooking etc -

They are both highly considerate, kind and generous people. Their work ethic is brilliant, they give far more than expected and deserve to be recompensed grandly.
Their work is fast, efficient and after each job all is tidied up. In December they were … read more

The holiday home that we stayed in was excellent. Really comfortable and practical.
The work that we did wasn’t too strenuous but while we were there, there was a bit of a heat wave so it was definitely sweaty work. Colin and Amanda were really understanding of this and were happy for us to work until … read more
ist was a fantastic two weeks stay at your Vinery.
You gave us really interesting and varied tasks and problems we could solve on our own.
Even if it was hard or really time consuming work it was beautiful to see what our work changed and how happy you are with it.
You both are really kind people which made our stay even … read more
We are absolutely thrilled with everything they did for us. The first job was a very heavily weeded big flower bed which took ages, then masses of horse manure, it hasn't looked so … read more
