    Description

    We are a bustling, loving family of four - Robbie, Sarah, and our kids, Edith and Ewan.

    We both work four days a week, I am a fundraiser for a rewilding charity. Robbie is a film-maker and creative director, with a focus on nature. We have a 11 month old Labrador puppy called Corrie who is really gentle.

    We need house sitting help when we go away.

    Please only apply if your English is good enough for you to be understood. Calm and easy-going with a can-do attitude are best for us and good communication skills are essential, you may need to talk with us when we are away.

    Please email in English.

    We live in a wonderful town called Frome, in the heart of Somerset, there are lots of things for you to do in Frome, you can take Corrie out for a walk in town or leave her in her cadge for up-to three hours and pop into town your-self.

    Somerset is famous for it's stunning countryside, cider and Glastonbury Festival. Frome is a culture hot-spot, voted the best place to live in the UK two years in a row. A special place full of talented people who are doing interesting things (artists, musicians, writers, poets and craft-people). I recently looked at one of the community noticeboards and saw advertisements for a woman's writing course, a course in non-violent communication, an invitation to spend time with the town's mayor and Thai Chi lessons - to give you a flavour.

    It has lots of independent shops, a music venue, cafes, skateboard park, restaurants, cinema and monthly market which attracts people from across the South West. Google Frome Festival - ten day festival every July.

    There is history everywhere; 14th Century Nunney Castle is down the road and the Historic city of Bath is 30mins drive. Bath was the backdrop for much of Bridgeton - a recent BBC period drama. Stonehenge is under an hours drive.

    If you are super active there is a canoe club in Frome, an amazing flooded quarry and rivers for wild swimming and/or paddle-boarding, a Bouldering Room 5mins walk from our house, fishing spots, Cheddar Gorge to go potholing. And many stunning country walks with traditional English pubs round every corner. The beach is an 1hr and a half drive.

    Hébergement

    Our home is a new build on the edge of Frome with stunning views of the countryside. It is on three floors: The main living area with kitchen and sitting room is on the first floor, we live on the top floor and our travellers will have the ground floor to themselves.

    On the ground floor there is a double bedroom and a small private shower room with a toilet. The room has a desk, double bed and storage. The window looks out onto the front of the house.

    The ground floor also has a garage and a subterranean storage room. We have a modest garden that back onto fields that you can access. A short walk across these fields and you reach a wonderful river walk.

    It is a 15mins walk into the centre of town. We have fantastic neighbours - we all got to know each other well during the pandemic.

    We have lovely living spaces and a modern kitchen full of all the utensils you will need for cooking.
