Descrição
Looking for two friends (or couples) to help us.
Our Holistic, Nature & Yoga Retreat Centre is set within the southern half of the beautiful lake district, 33 acres of woodland pasture with a small 'hobby' flock of Sheep and chickens and ducks. We have 3 cats and 5 small dogs who live with us in the house.
Come and join our friendly family, in our 18th century farmhouse, join in with our family life, walk the fells and mountains, wild swim in the great lakes, and connect with our yoga retreats. We have mountain bikes you can use whilst you are here to explore this beautiful part of England.
In return we have regular housekeeping tasks around the home and retreat that need doing throughout the year. We need diligent honest people looking to join in with all the help required.
After hosting many helpers now over a few years we have come to prefer our helpers to stay six/eight weeks at least and up to three to six months in total. We have noticed that this way, both the helpers and our family get so much more out of the experience.
We are sorry but we do not accept helpers with pets.
