  • Description

    Description

    We are a sociable, dynamic and creative family, myself Anthea and my children Rob (20 years) Jemma and Jacques (16 years).

    We live a converted barn on a smallholding in the beautiful country side, along with my dogs and cats.

    The smallholding consist of : a vegetable garden, a polytunnel, friendly poultry and goats. All of which need daily care. The produce is picked and used on a daily basis or preserved for later use. I am looking for someone to house sit while i am away in August.

    In our spare time we like to bicycle ride, paddle board, swim, enjoy walks and explore different parts of the region. In the evening talk, watch TV, or play board games. Or if you prefer having some chill time to yourselves.

    There is always a chance to practice English and French.

    We are a sociable, dynamic and creative family who live life to the full and enjoy having fun and a meeting new people and learning new skills.

    It is a very beautiful part of Brittany with many lovely walks, bicycle trails, and beaches to the north and west and old towns with daily markets. All of these can be reached within an hours drive.
