South West - Gloucestershire

Helen

A comfortable house in the Cotswold countryside, being 30 miles north of Oxford, 15 miles south of Stratford upon Avon, and 3 miles from the railway station at Moreton In Marsh. I have two 17hh horses that require feeding twice a day with medication added. EXPERIENCE OF HANDLING HORSES IS ESSENTIAL. I also have one Bengal cat. He is not a lap-cat, will not want to know you, but will expect food to be there all the time and for his litter tray to be kept clean. A cat-lover is required.

A CAR IS NECESSARY to get to the closest shops, 3 or 4 miles away. Wi fi is available. House alarm to be used when out.

Kathy couldn't make this one however I had a fantastic time house-sitting for Helen in Todenham, Moreton-in-Marsh. The house is easy to care for, well-equipped, and ideally located within a 10 min drive to shops, pubs, and cafes and also great walks nearby. I looked after her two gentle horses, Bertie and Arthur, who were a joy to care for and especially love a few carrots at meal times! Gizmo, the Bengal cat, takes a little time to warm up but is independent and easy to manage – just keep his ... MORE

Such a pleasure to stay at Helen’s house in the Cotswolds - and to care for her two retired/semi-retired hunters, and somewhat eccentric Bengal cat, Gizmo! The house was comfortable, spacious and warm, and Helen was most welcoming – and thoughtful in terms of providing clear, typed instructions as to care of the horses, Gizmo – and assorted visiting chickens. The latter wandered into the grounds daily from up the lane, in search of food and laying the odd egg here and there. The Cockerel ... MORE

My house sitting experience at Helen's lovely house was a most enjoyable experience. I slept so well as the bed was so comfy. The house is beautifully furnished, is in a delightful village surrounded by glorious countryside. My duties were to look after Helen's two horses and very vocal Bengal Cat. They were all characters and a pleasure to look.after. I am certainly looking forward to my return visit later this year.

Helen's lovely, comfortable home was situated in a beautiful part of the peaceful Cotswold countryside and because we enjoy walking, nature and wildlife, it was a perfect house sit for us both. Having once had a horse ourselves, we really enjoyed having the opportunity to look after Helen's retired hunter who was a real gentle giant, plus gorgeous Gizmo (Helen's cat) who was a real character and great company. We appreciated the time that Helen took to show us around and to explain what was ... MORE
