House sitting for Emma and Tim was a wonderful experience. It was a privilege to stay in their historic homestead in such a beautiful setting. It really is a stunning place, and one of the highlights of our visit to the UK. The two dogs left for us to care for were a delight - so well mannered and great companions for the duration of our stay. The cats were real characters too, often joining us on our morning and evening walks of the property. We enjoyed grooming and caring for the horses, and appreciated the fresh farm eggs from the chickens. Emma and Tim were extremely warm and generous in their hospitality, and communication was great both before and during our stay. Emma left a very helpful set of instructions and information. We were car-less but managed well with the bus service into Witham (there is a bus stop at the end of the driveway) and walking to the local Silver End supermarket for provisions. We would happily return and highly recommend to other sitters

“Emma and Tim were most welcoming and hospitable hosts, collecting me from the station and sharing a meal with me ahead of their departure. The animals (horses, chickens, dogs and cats) were pretty straightforward and instructions clear, though naturally I worried that I was doing everything the way Emma would, particularly with the horses. Emma stayed in touch in case of any queries, such as the little hen who didn't like being in the coop, or Bobby dispensing with his fly mask; it was an interesting experience with fresh eggs thrown in! It would definitely suit someone wanting some experience of chickens and horses but in a place accessible from the city. Thank you Emma, Tim and your animal brood for your hospitality, and particular woofy thanks (if I may) to Dotty for her companionship : )” - Read more
