About

Tucked away in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds, my tiny cottage sits in the hamlet of Miningsby. It's very rural and rather isolated, so if you're craving some time away from the rat race, this could be just the place for you. In your free time there are lovely countryside walks, bird watching, cycling and possibly horse riding. There are no shops within walking distance, but pretty market towns are just 10 minutes' drive away. The nearest train station is Boston, reached via Grantham or Peterborough. You'll stay in the cottage itself, in the spare room with a double sofa bed. Occasionally, if I have weekend guests, I'll ask you to sleep in the cabin in the garden. All meals are provided and are vegetarian. A few honest points before you apply: internet is limited to unreliable mobile wifi with a very small data allowance, and the 4G signal is weak. If you need to be online for your job, this isn't the right stay for you. As a bonus, I was a specialist English teacher, so if you're learning English I'm happy to help with vocabulary, grammar and written expression. I am familiar with the Cambridge exams in English. I'm looking for help with horse care, grassland management and gardening, plus some domestic and DIY tasks around the cottage. In the garden there's always something to do: clearing, tidying, a bit of pruning, and helping me develop a wildlife friendly space. Hours are flexible. Because the horses need daily care, time off is arranged around that, so please only apply if you're happy to be available to help every day. I'm also hoping to travel a little, so reliable house sitters are very welcome too. When I'm away, there's room for two.

Local area

Right on the doorstep, the Revesby Estate has almost 1,000 years of history, with woodland, parkland and plenty of wildlife to discover. The quiet lanes and rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds are perfect for walking and cycling, and a signed cycle route from Horncastle passes through Miningsby itself. A short drive away, you can browse the antique shops of Horncastle, catch a film at Woodhall Spa's Kinema in the Woods, climb the medieval tower of Tattershall Castle, or see historic aircraft at the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in Coningsby. Poetry fans can follow Tennyson's footsteps around his birthplace at Somersby. Further afield, the coast is around half an hour away, with sandy beaches and birdlife at Gibraltar Point nature reserve, while the historic city of Lincoln, with its cathedral and castle, makes a great day out. There are lots of festivals, shows, music events, dances and traditional events, held locally.
