    Description

    We are Steve and Iryna.
    I’m a retired UK Police Officer and my Wife a retired nurse.
    We have 2 children, a Girl and a Boy, aged 11 and 13. There are 5 languages spoken fluently in the household: English, French, Russian, Spanish and Polish.
    We live on the Normandy/Brittany border
    We have a beautiful, wooden garden opposite a private lake, with no close neighbours.
    There is a small village with a pub, 10 minutes walk away and a big town with all amenities, a 10 minute drive away.
    I’m recovering from an operation so need help around the garden mainly but May also include some other, supervised work (Painting, routine DIY), if within the Workawayers capabilities. We never ask for unreasonable work or anything too strenuous.
    We have a lovely double room (sometimes 2) in our house for singles or couples
    My Wife cooks lovely food but we have a big bbq for warmer days, there’s a Fire pit and we are just completing a heated indoor pool as well.
    The night sky is amazing, full of visible stars as there is no unnatural light.
    In the day time, the bird song is beautiful. The garden sometimes has visits from Deer, Foxes and Badgers. It is truly an amazing place to relax and de stress.
    We have bikes if you fancy an explore.
    We are a 60 minute drive from the beautiful beaches of St. Malo and Mont Saint Michel is only 50 minutes away.
    There is a possibility of collecting from Rennes airport (please ask/check with us).
