Friendly workawayers required for various projects in Central Brittany, France. End of July onwards
Hi. We are Philippa and Allan, a friendly and sociable, semi-retired British couple (young at heart early 60s) who moved from Yorkshire to France 15 years ago. Our home is in a small village called Kerfourn, near Pontivy in Central Brittany.
We are looking ideally for a friendly couple who would be willing to help us with projects outside and inside the house. The garden needs some attention plus we have some DIY projects in our loft space to tackle and some painting. Our barn is also in need for a huge declutter.
We have hosted workawayers for the past 14 years. It's been a great experience and we love having fun and interesting people to stay. We've met some fab people from all over the globe and have kept in touch with several and have even met up again with them when we've been on our own travels to Australia and New Zealand, oh...and we've also been workawayers ourselves.
We are in a village location, which has some basic amenities including a bakery, bar etc.
We are avid travellers, housesitters and houseswappers. I (Philippa) love drama and runs an Amateur Dramatics group in the village. I also enjoy arts and crafts, sewing and upcycling. Allan likes all kinds of sports and played rugby for 30 years. We both enjoy board and card games, pub quizzes, visiting various vide-greniers and brocantes locally and good conversation over a glass of wine.
We have hosted workawayers from all over the globe. We would ask that you have a good standard of English to make the most of your stay. We both also speak French
The area itself is lovely. Beautiful villages and towns to explore, great walks and countryside. Our home is just 10 minutes drive to Pontivy, a large town, with many impressive Napoleonic buildings and a fabulous castle. We also enjoy visiting Josselin with its castle right on the canal and its bustling Saturday market.
It's beneficial if you have your own transport but we can take you places. All meals provided (Allan loves cooking and we tend to eat fresh produce) Sorry but we cant cater for strict vegetarians or vegans.

Brittany is a great location with lots of heritage and lovely countryside. Lots to do.
Ajuda
We like practically minded workawayers who don't mind getting 'stuck in', can use their own initiative and have a 'Can Do' attitude in helping unsupervised.

At our first introduction, we were warmly told that we would be included as part of the family during our stay, and this certainly was the case.
Allan and Philippa’s profile is accurate and if you get the opportunity to be hosted by this couple, you will be well… read more
We stayed with them for two weeks and really felt part of the family. We had a very cute and clean room with our own bathroom. Where we had our retreat at all times. But we also enjoyed the community with Pip, Allen & James at a game night, live music,… read more

Our first workaway experience and couldn't have been better. Excellent people, fun to work with both of them and beatiful house in the heart of Bretagne. It's unfair such a small place to write all the pros we found here so don't doubt it and contact them.
Thank you Allan… read more

Would recommend to other hosts. Good luck with your future travels Chrissy!
The holiday house that you lent us had character and we loved it. As we liked those ten-people meals around the table on the terrace and playing music on the jukebox. We were… read more

Would have no hesitation in recommending him to other workaway hosts. Good luck with your travels Jake!
