£10 per hour is the going rate in this area, less elsewhere.
With regard to holiday pay, if you are paying your cleaner cash in hand then whether you decide to pay holiday pay is entirely up to you. How you feel about them and how long they have worked for you may be a factor in your decision.
Bearing in mind that if they are being paid cash in hand they wont be paying any tax so £10 per hour isn't too bad a rate for unskilled work and is much higher than the minimum wage level (which you will still pay tax on - which IMHO is immoral as min wage is £13500 per annum).
If I was working as a cleaner for the average family in this area, I would probably feel I earnt every penny as children/husbands are quite often extremely messy creatures.
