LOOKING FOR:
Preferably a couple, though not essential; responsible, mature with some experience and references. Must have experience of, and like, cats and horses, though regarding the horse the experience could be minimal. Someone who is reasonably good in the garden would be preferable.
WHAT'S ENTAILED:
Essentially to look after the animals instead of putting them in cattery, etc. We have 2 young siamese cats. The horse will need to be kept topped up with water; otherwise just watched to make sure all is well. Depending on the weather a grass cut might be needed, plus looking after a vegetable plot and roses, etc; i.e light gardening.
WHERE?
The house is a converted farmhouse with a few neighbours, set in open, rolling countryside. It is very tranquil. The area is good for walking and cycling. About 15 mins SE of Chatellerault, the nearest large town. There are a number of tourist sites nearby, details available from the Chatellerault tourist office .
NEED TO KNOW:
If you're looking for a bit of night life this is not the place for you. However if you want 2 weeks plus of countryside tranquillity then it is ideal. Although there is a shop in the village 10 mins walk away you will need a car to get anywhere, as there is no public transport nearby.
