Details:
Hi. We are looking for a couple to house sit for our home in North Devon whilst we are away in Tanzania for 3 weeks in July (from 4/5th to 30th). We live in a beautiful farmhouse with 1 very meek, gentle dog, 1 ridiculously friendly cat, 2 pygmy goats who like to be taken for a walk on a lead from time to time (not essential!), and possibly some ducks if we get to build their shelter by then. Our home has its origins in the eighteenth century - and still has original features - wooden floor, fireplaces and stone walls.
It is comfortable and looks out onto a great garden with fruit trees, vegetable patch - you're welcome to help yourself whilst here. We live near to Barnstaple and Torrington (around 10/15 minutes from both), and are close to the sea and the big beaches of North Devon. Westward Ho! is 20 minutes away, Croyde, Putsborough and Saunton Sands between 30 to 40 minutes.
There is the Tarka trail for cycling and walking on the flat, and wonderful coastal walking - we love the stretch around Hartland Quay for swimming in deserted sandy coves at low tide, also the Braunton Burrows Biosphere. We honestly feel like we are on holiday most weekends here, even after living here for a good decade - it is a very beautiful and peaceful place o come and spend a holiday in.
We really hope that you might be interested in coming to stay. Warmest wishes, Naomi and family
