Wonderful time in Worcestershire
Looking after Jill and Fergus' home and "zoo" was an absolute pleasure! Their house is beautiful and their pets are a delight. The Otterhounds- Rhubarb and Strudel are so friendly, sweet, and easy to look after. Martha the pig is also cute and easy-going and is definitely a foodie! Feathers the cockatiel and the chickens also seem to have caught the relaxed vibe, that the other animals have. Fergus, Jill, and their kids - Oli and India couldn't have been more courteous and helpful in making our stay an enjoyable, memorable time. They had already prepared a list of all information for our stay- how to look after the animals, how to use the equipment in the house, where to visit and eat etc., which helped us to plan everything. We wouldn't hesitate to repeat the experience, if they need someone in the future and we can fit it into our schedule. Thanks to Jill, Fergus, Oli and India and their gang! Danka, Roy and Sophie

Lovely family, adorable animals
What a beautiful family and home. So welcoming, even Martha the pig! Nothing was too much trouble and were definitely on the same wavelength as us as to what we would need and what they would need from us. Came home feeling refreshed rather than thinking we need a holiday. Thankyou so much!
