The Experience

We need people happy to strip a garage roof and replace the old tiles with preformed sheets. This must be at least 2 people to work together we can accept up to 4. Access will be using a scaffold tower. An interest in carpentry would be advantageous. Roofing is always weather permitting any day the weather isn’t suitable then there is a window and a door to replace so you won’t be bored.

John and Ross were the best hosts!! They were very welcoming and the nicest people who are always happy to share their wide range of knowledge with you. I loved helping out in their amazing garden and seeing how they reuse so many things and make cool new things :) I loved chilling in the evenings watching quiz games and playing board games with delicious home brewed beer. Loved this experience so much, especially their 2 adorable fur babies ❤️

My stay with John and Rosslyn was superb! They were very welcoming and created a relaxing atmosphere for me. I learned and experienced a lot both in my time off and when I was helping. I enjoyed everything from the cooking and the homemade beers/yoghurts, to John and Rosslyns lovely company! All in all I had a great stay, which left me feeling very fulfilled.

John & Rosslyn quickly made us feel at home here. We really appreciated the amount of knowledge they both had to share, as well as the funny chats & homemade food. Can't stress enough how amazing the food was! We spent most of our time here helping with household maintenance tasks, as well as some gardening/outdoor activities. Wish we could've come during the summer & enjoyed the warmer months here, but we loved our stay here anyway. Thank you both!

It was a very nice break away from the hustle and bustle of travelling!! John and Rosslyn were very nice and the tasks put in front of us were not difficult. You learn as you go and you always look forward to the next meal that is put on the table. The area is lovely and quiet.

It is a very nice place around it, the dogs are very friendly and excellent company, we learned to do different things but the one we enjoyed the most was the gardening part, but being able to learn how to make beer and yogurt was fun, the favorite part of Our stay was the food, being able to enjoy those wonderful dishes was amazing
