Peaceful, spacious farmhouse in Kent countryside with 3 friendly cats & chickens

Introduction

My husband and I work full-time (from home, so we have excellent Wifi connection if you want to work from here). We love to enjoy our time at home and in the countryside.

Home & location

A spacious old farmhouse with cosy sitting room & log fires, comfortable king-size bed and luxury bathroom. You will stay in our lovely guest bedroom (en-suite) and also have use of the main bathroom - it has a great freestanding bath! There is lots of outside space and countryside walks in the surrounding area. We are also within proximity of some fabulous beaches all round the Kent coast - we recommend Folkestone and Whitstable which have nice beaches and great places to eat. You can also soak up the culture in Canterbury, see the world-famous cathedral and the lovely medieval town of Rye just across the border in East Sussex. There are some lovely smaller market towns to explore too, such as Tenterden and Cranbrook, as well as a long list of historic castles to explore. Dover Castle, Leeds Castle, Sissinghurst Castle and Hever Castle are some top spots to visit. We love the area and hope you enjoy it too!

Responsibilities

- Cats: Feed cats twice a day/fresh water each day - always out - Cats: Scoop litter tray whenever dirty & put in outside bin (sometimes not needed for days as this is an emergency tray, not for regular use unless it's raining a lot) - Cats: Call cats in at night. One of them won't come in through catflap - Chickens: check food and water each day - Chickens: let out of secure coop/run ONLY when people are at home and between about 8am - 4pm. We have a fox who does prowl around if it's dusk and if she realises there isn't someone around. Chickens are fine to be left in the run for the duration if needed

Catherine and her family are absolutely wonderful. It’s been such a pleasure meeting them and looking after Mr. Chips, Badger, Tiddler & the super friendly chickens. The 3 small ‘leopards’ are the sweetest and funniest beings. Absolutely fantastic family and their home full of love, vegetables and purrs. Thank you for choosing me to housesit for you! 🙏

Had such an amazing time at the farm with the cats and chickens 🥺💗 Catherine and Joshua are awesome and made me feel so looked after and at home. The cats were so fun to look after! They’re all really easygoing mostly just after cuddles and affection😍 They all have very distinct personalities and are so friendly - I miss them! Can’t wait to come back :> Honestly I can’t recommend sitting for these guys enough they’re the best!!
