The experience

Our old farmhouse is in the middle of the Cumbrian country-side surrounded by fields and wildlife but only three miles from the shops of Wigton and eight miles from the historic city of Carlisle.
My husband and I have lived here for nearly 19 years and would like to welcome people to share our wonderful home and help with looking after our hens, garden and house.
Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with visas and/or documents.
