Testimonials

Lovely house and critters...

We have sat for Iris and Pete many times over the past 10 years enjoying every occasion and have become firm friends. The ducks and chickens are a delight and very easy to care for. It was a pleasure to spend time with Poppy and Bella who have now, sadly, passed. Mother and daughter Saluki sassy Sadie and mischievous Maisie will continue to keep any sitters company and entertained. They are quite the pair and very affectionate. The house is spacious, light, warm and comfortable in a glorious position overlooking the beautiful Derbyshire countryside and the village of Youlgrave. You could not wish for better hosts than Iris and Pete. Who have made us so welcome over the years. You will have everything to make your stay worry free and memorable. The close neighbours are very friendly and helpful. Their are some lovely villages and towns within easy reach by foot, car or public transport. The walking is fabulous. Would definitely recommend this sit.
