Description
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 2 large Newfoundland dogs and goats.
Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
S’occuper des animaux
Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Travellers would learn about the local environment with the Peak District on the doorstep.
Aide
Volunteers would need to be experienced with big dogs. I have 2 Newfoundlands aged 9 and 10
.
Cleo needs a daily walk of about half an hour.
Duke has anxiety after having spent several years in an abusive environment. I have had him for 4 years and he is a loving and gentle dog. He gets exercise in my large garden but is not walked every day. He is very anxious of other dogs.
You would take care of my dogs whilst I am away. I would of course ask you to keep the house clean and tidy during your stay.

Hébergement
The accommodation is in my house, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom are available.There are beautiful gardens to enjoy with fantastic views. Mountain bikes available for your use.
Autres infos...
Being at the foot of the Peak District National Park there are numerous visitor attractions, historic buildings and famous gardens plus fantastic hill walking in the area. We are also near to the famous Potteries region where traditional china potteries still operate using old techniques. We are 4.5 miles away from the theme park Alton Towers.
Please note that Kingsley is a small village in a rural community. There is one small shop in the village and there are two pubs in walking distance.
The nearest town is about 2.5 miles away. There is a bus that goes from outside the house.
The location is very rural, but there are bus and train routes. The city of Stoke on Trent is 8 miles away. The Peak District towns of Buxton, Leek, Bakewell are reachable by bus within half an hour to an hour. Since Covid, buses have annoyingly become less frequent but there are still several buses per day to Cheadle/ Uttoxeter and Stoke on Trent.
There are nice walks in the area and a picturesque canal and river are within walking distance.
Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, London, Oxford are within 1-2 hours by train.
There are a couple of mountain bikes for the more adventurous.
As no work is required other than looking after my dogs I no longer provide food for workawayers.

I have been staying with Nicki for one month in May 2018 and it was a great experience. She is a wonderful host who really does everything to make you feel at home. I was able to do many trips to different places in the area and I even could spend one week in Northern Wales at Nicki's sister's place. It was amazing!

Aga was fantastic. I so much enjoyed having her here and I learned a lot from her. She embraced everything that I asked her to do and made the most of her stay here by visiting lots of places in her free time. She was great with my animals.
Aga, you'd be welcome here any time.

I spent the whole March at Nicky's place. It's such a lovely house! Very big and still requires lots to do but it's obvious at first sight that it's a piece of history and Nicky put a great effort in renovating it. Helping her was a pleasure for me. I learnt many useful words thanks to her. Although she was very busy she always found some time to… read more

We stayed at Nicki's home for four weeks in December/January. Nicki is very friendly and welcoming. She always tried to teach us typical English phrases we didn't know, which was pretty helpful. At the weekends, she drove us to the railway station in Stoke-on-Trent, so we could explore cities like Manchester, Chester, Nottingham and Liverpool.

Hannah, Hannah Semme and Steven Bauernfeind stayed with me for 6 weeks from 26th February. They were delightful company, and did everything that I asked them to do and more. They took fantastic care of my animals, even 2 sick goats. Not only are they all lovely people, they are very intelligent and interesting conversation.

I think I couldn't have had a better first workaway experience. Niki is a very kind, friendly, sympathetic, with a great sense of humour lady, who always gave me more than I needed and made me feel like at home. It has been a real pleasure to meet her, her partner, family and some of her friends, especially Andy. She helped me a lot with my… read more

Juan Antonio was a godsend... I coukd not have imagined to have found such a polite, tidy, hard working, diligent and intelligent person for my first workaway experience. He also has a fantastic sense of humour and is completely trustworthy, and an excellent cook. He embraced everything I asked him to do with 100% commitment and did everything… read more
