** New to helpstay but have loads of reviews on workaway - https://www.workaway.info/en/host/718227573639**

Hello everyone! We are a friendly family with beautiful 3 year old twins and 2 rescue cats. We are really easy going and very flexible and are are looking for enthusiastic, friendly and hardworking individuals to share our home.

We are looking for some building type help - plumbing, electrics, tiling, carpentry, painting & decorating, etc

To introduce ourselves a little more, I am originally from Scotland (although I grew up in Africa due to my father's job) and moved here after I married my English husband. I am currently on a career break, looking after the little monkeys and my husband works in the City in London. We have both travelled extensively, love adventure and meeting people from every walk of life. Our home is usually filled with laughter and humour unless there is a Scotland v England match on :-)

We live in a beautiful old 1850s Victorian property (which backs on to woods, where wild deer roam freely). Royal Tunbridge Wells is a picturesque, historic town which is only 50 mins by train from the centre of London if you choose to explore the capital. So an amazing combination of the calmness of a lovely town, all the amazing outdoor activities the countryside has to offer and yet the buzz of the capital close by!

We would like to offer you accommodation, free Wi-Fi, food (all 3 meals) and services (laundry, etc) in return for 6 hours of help a day, 5 days a week.

In terms of accommodation - the house is big enough to give everyone their own space and privacy. Our helpers have their own bathroom (newly renovated) to share, a fully equipped kitchen, in addition to their bedrooms. We have a great balance of spending some time together and other times alone.

We have hosted people from all over the world and from all walks of life, those without religion and those with religion, those who've just left school and those who've just retired, vegans, vegetarians and big old meat eaters! Every kind of person with every kind of thought. And we've LOVED it! We love great conversation and laughter and it's been so wonderful to share this with the lovely people passing through our lives.

If you think you can help us and would like to spend some time as part of our wee family, we’d love to hear from you!

Warm regards,
Jane & family

We live in a large house so we are able to provide spacious accommodation for our volunteers which also provides privacy for you. Therefore, as well as your bedroom, you have your own kitchen and bathroom too (sharing with other helpers if needed). You also have your own front door (our house has 2 external doors).

The bedrooms are lovely - 2 double rooms (with double beds) and a single room and are all garden facing so are very quiet. Your kitchen is fully equipped and your bathroom has just been renovated.

We provide food for all three meals of the day. We cater for vegetarians and vegans too (although any diary substitutes must be provided by yourself).

There are are loads of things to do in the area - for those loving the great outdoors and all that it has to offer. Also for those who love the buzz of the big city with London only c50 mins away.

The town itself has everything you need from a fantastic array of shops to lovely cafes and beautiful parks. The town usually hosts lots of festivals and perhaps we'll soon get back to that once the restrictions start to ease!
