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 3 large Newfoundland dogs, some chickens and goats.
I live alone with my animals. I love to learn about other cultures and I welcome people who are animal lovers. I have had many travellers stay with me, many of whom are now lifelong friends. Workaway has been a rewarding and enriching experience for me and I hope and believe also for the many young people who have stayed with me.
As you will see from my photos and reviews, workawayers have also stayed with my family on the beautiful North Wales coast during their time with me, to explore the surrounding area and the Snowdonia national park.

Travellers would learn about keeping animals and about the local natural environment.
Firstly and most importantly, volunteers would need to like animals. My dogs are very big!
You would live as part of my family and I would ask you to do your share of normal household tasks.
In particular you would need to do your own cooking/prepare your own food. I will pay for the food of course!
