Comfortable, rural bliss.

Introduction

Mike and I are both supposedly retired but seem busier than ever. Mike loves gardening and tending to his vegetables. I am happy in my studio working on an art /craft project. We also like to travel and now more than ever to go to the UK to see our family and friends. We need to have a sitter to look after our two dogs.

Home & location

Our home is a château, the oldest part dating back to the 12th century. It is located between the towns of Nérac and Condom, both with rich history and traditions. We recently finished renovating the house and whilst we have retained all the old parts, the house has all modern facilities. We have fibre optic wi-fi so super fast connection with the world. You would stay in the main part of the house. There are lots of things to do in the area, sightseeing, markets, music events, good cycling terrain.

We had a lovely time staying at Krysia and Mike’s. Unfortunately due to a health issue, Krysia and Mike were unable to go on their holiday. But they graciously invited us to stay anyways, and put us up in the part of their chateau that they typically rent out. It was a beautiful, large apartment(more like a large house!) , and they were so nice as to cook us dinner and give us plenty of suggestions of activities to do in the area. At the end of the day it felt more like we were on holiday than pet sitting! We took the pups on lots of walks along the surrounding farm and field roads; It’s so peaceful out there, and the dogs are sweet, cuddly and so easy-going. Definitely recommend this sit - just would suggest renting a car as it is pretty remote!
