Home & location

Our home is a small 18th century farmhouse that we have refurbished. There is a large kitchen with range, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine . You can throw open the French doors and rest a while on the patio or wander in the gardens and fields that surround us . A cosy lounge with a log burner is warm in the winter and cool in the summer . A bed room with country views and a bathroom with shower over bath will give you all the comfort you need . We have great pubs nearby, one in easy walking distance, lovely cider orchards to visit and quirky Glastonbury 10 miles away . We have a holiday let business so we have plenty of Ideas to share with you

Responsibilities

Basil needs feeding twice daily and a run around our fields, he likes to accompany you if you are watering etc and if you fancy a longer walk he would love to come too. We have a poly tunnel with tomatoes, peppers and others that will need watering daily and the poly tunnel will need vents opening . There may be some watering needed in the greenhouse . We have lots of pots that will need watering every other day … we have plenty of hoses and easy access to water. The sheep just need to be checked on, counted and their water topped up. If there is anything you are worried about a call to the local farmer is all you need to do .

Large comfortable house in extensive gardens with some nice walks near by (and some good pubs). Basil was charming and easy to look after. Kate and Mark gave clear instructions and kept in touch. We enjoyed our time here.

Our house-sit at Kate and Mark's was an absolute dream. They really made us feel welcome and reassured before they left and are just the loveliest people. The house and land is just gorgeous and we fell in love with Basil, he's such a character.
