We have two stray Americans from Missouri staying with us this week doing a Wwooffing type week with us here in the Wye Valley. We kind of found them on the roadside, and, having started a conversation as they walked by our farm, ended up inviting them to stay once the Youth Hostel in which they were staying no longer had room for them owing to healthy bookings.
They are now trying to sort out next steps in their three month stay in UK/Ireland, as they would like to see more than just the Forest of Dean. But it is proving hard to find places that are affordable for them (food and lodgings for work; a room or two in a shared house; or best of all a self catering cottage or apartment - all in a rural idyll costing up to a max of £400 a month including bills.
Most places are expensive, holiday lets, that cost for a week what most of us would think normal for a month, or else are only geared up to long, 1 year lets.
We think there is a gap in the market, so we are wondering whether anyone on here would have something suitable they might like or be able to help us to draw to the women's attention.
Basically, the ideal would be to find somewhere in Scotland for a month, somewhere in Eire for a month and then somewhere in England for a month. They both majored in Equine studies at university, and are very keen out-of-doors people enjoying, experienced and knowledgeable with animals and the great outdoors.
If anyone here has either:
1. A cottage/apartment in ruralish setting for £400 max a month
2. A room/s they'd be prepared to let
3. A room and lodging for work
all in somewhere lovely, where two women with no transport can get about in free time, and get to buy simple foodstuffs etc once or twice a week, then please do let us know.
Kelly and Crystal are two lovely young women, who have much to offer someone with an open door.
Any suggestions welcomed :-)
