Derbyshire, East Midlands

About this house sitting position in Derbyshire

We live in a rural location in a converted 18th century cottage with stunning views overlooking the Ecclesbourne valley towards Wirksworth. We have 2 Jack Russell dogs, 2 horses and hens. The dogs will need a short walk each day but otherwise are content curled up in front of the Aga. The horses live out and so will need no more than an eye keeping on them...and maybe a carrot or two (I have a local girl with plenty of experience who will pop up if there are any problems). And the hens will need a scoop of corn and water and in exchange will supply you with lovely fresh eggs. A car is preferable as this will allow you to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside but we are only 10 mins walk from a main road with a regular bus service and 20 mins walk to a train station. We are 20 mins drive from East Midlands Airport and 45 mins drive from Birmingham Airport.
