We are looking for an experienced couple to look after our recently converted home and zany pets (2 dogs), for a week at Christmas, from 23 December to 30 December. We live in a beautiful part of the world, in a lovely village just over the Cornish border and close to the market town of Tavistock (which is in Devon!) The city of Plymouth is just over half an hour's drive and the cities of Truro and Exeter are just over an hour away. Our dogs are small but lively and that's why we are asking for a couple. They can be a bit of a handful when on walks so it's best to share the load! They need two reasonable walks each day, the rest of the time they can have a quick, short walk to the corner and back, and they can be left for three to four hours at a time. All in all the perfect break for those who like walking, the seaside (just over half an hour away), visiting National Trust properties (lots in the area, nearest is Cotehele House) and spending time in a quiet, friendly village.
Please apply only if you are available within those dates and you can give your time, love and patience to our animals who we love very much and want to think they will be well cared for and spoilt as we spoil them! You will need to have your own transport, as although we are on bus and train routes, they are not that frequent and it would be better if you can drive yourselves around and about. In return we will offer you your own guest room, bathroom, use of the kitchen/living areas and outside space (we have a large patio) and we will welcome you to our lovely house. Thank you!
