We are looking for house sitters to stay here on our beautiful and tranquil farmhouse with 30 acres located in the Auvergne area of France. The farm is for sale and we wish to visit the UK for a few weeks over the Christmas period.
We have two dogs but they will be travelling with us as will our two guinea pigs, so there are no pets or livestock to look after, which means you'll get your lie ins if you want them!!
The house is large with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, so you will have your own double room with double bed and situated next door to the bathroom.
This house sit would be suitable for a couple who have their own transport as the village shops are too far to walk to. The possibility of bringing their own dog/pet as long as they are well behaved. (no chewing furniture or peeing in the house please!).
A mature and happy couple with the ability to turn their hand to general maintenance problems should they arise would be preferable.
As winter is upon us there isn't really anything to do outside except raking over some of the mole hills on the lawns and keeping the property tidy inside and out There is good wifi broadband access but you will need your own laptop, you can make calls to a UK land line free of charge. Nearest village shops are 6kms away and major towns are Moulins, 20 minutes away and Saint Pourcain sur Sioule, 13 minutes by car.
This is a beautiful and tranquil location where you can enjoy many fauna and flora.
Thank you for looking!
