Feedback
We were a bit apprehensive at first because they told is that they had two dogs, however as soon as we met the dogs our fears disappeared, they are no problem whatsoever, in fact it was a pleasure to have them around as they ooze playfulness

Colin and Shirley are amazing, they have endless energy and can do so many things from DIY to gardening and even fixed my oven that no French electrician could.
I wish they could move in permanently!!!!!!
They really helped us out over the last two weeks as I developed Covid and was not able to do very much.
