Key info: * 4-5hrs per day, 2 days off per week (unless housesitting) * 3 meals a day * Animal sitting, gardening and DIY projects * Snowdonia, Wales We're in the middle of a full renovation project, getting our property ready as a letting home, and we'd love some willing hands to help us work through the list. This is genuinely our full-time focus right now, so you'd be working alongside us every day — it's a busy, hands-on placement with plenty of variety. We love walking/ hoking (so Wales is perfect for us!). It's a beautiful area and we'd love to show you some great walks and sights nearby. Who we're looking for: * Positive attitude and willingness to help with daily tasks * Practical minded

Kathryn's cottage is beautiful! It's in such a great location, the local village is like something out of a Disney movie. We were recommended going to watch a local cricket match and it did not disappoint, the community there was so welcoming. So much to do whilst in the area, and we slept so well being in the heart of the countryside. We were there in exchange for dog sitting whilst Kathryn was away, and helped out with some gardening jobs that they left in a list for us. We really enjoyed our time here, and would love to come back again in the future!
