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.

Laissé par le workawayer (Amélie & Tabea) pour l'hôte
We stayed for three weeks and a half at Antheas place.
On our first two days, Anthea explained a lot around the house and her animals, that we were supposed to take care of, while the family was going on vacation. We would've liked to have more communication beforehand, because we only knew from her profile that there would be some house-sitting.… read more

Staying at Anthea´s place was a really great experience, they are all very friendly and chilled people. We had so much fun with the kids, especially with Jack who went with us on most of the trips. He is so full of energy and it really never gets boring when Jack is around. We felt like a part of the family from the first day.
