You will need to walk and care for our friendly, bouncy dogs: an adoring girl Bernese Mountain Dog (4) and a friendly boy Golden Retriever (5) at least once a day and brushing a couple of times a week. The two 10-year old cats (one girl, one boy) just need cuddles, feeding, and letting out at night. Our houseplants and outdoor pot plants will need to be watered, and depending on the season we may ask you to keep an eye on the vegetable garden, in particular looking out for aphids. The property will need to remain occupied during our absence. We have a housekeeper and gardeners so you won't have to do much by way of cleaning, but the main kitchen will need to be hoovered and cleaned when the housekeeper isn't working, to keep it free of animal hair (as much as is possible!) as one of the dogs has an allergy to dust mites. We ask you to remain in regular contact with us during our time away, and we find that WhatsApp is a great way to stay in touch. We love to receive photos of our pets! Up-to-date references (personal and professional) are essential, and …

We are in the beautiful rolling countryside of south-west France, surrounded by vineyards and ancient forest but with shops and restaurants only a few minutes drive away.
The house itself is a large old stone farmhouse dating back to the 1600's and set in 14 hectares of its own land. We regularly see deer, owls, foxes, and all sorts of wonderful wildlife, and our meadows fill with wild orchids in the spring.
We have extensively renovated and modernised the house so there is Wifi, UK satellite TV (Freesat), and efficient under-floor heating, as well as 2 open fireplaces. The original house is a cosy welcoming space, and the attached converted barn is spacious and contemporary in style. You will be staying in the original house which has a modern kitchen with all mod-cons, a comfy and roomy lounge with UK FreeSat and DVD player and three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom (the property as a whole has eight bedrooms).
The gardens have been professionally landscaped and look out over our own pasture and woodland. We have a successful vegetable patch that will need a little looking after during the growing season, though we'll give you full instructions so …

The large outdoor infinity pool is heated (in season), and we have a well-equipped home gym. It took 4 years to renovate our house to a very high standard, and the result is a beautiful and comfortable home.

Our home and garden are a peaceful haven, with private views over our little valley and the ancient forest beyond. Our dogs and cats are relaxed, friendly and happy and always delighted to see you! We love design, music and art and this is reflected in our home, where we enjoy combining the old and the new. The pool is our favourite place to be in the summer, at 20 metres long it’s great for swimming and deep enough to dive!

Maison magnifique nichée sur une colline avec vue sur les bois.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Katie et Jérémy.
Les animaux sont éduqués et sages.
Une voiture est mise à la disposition des gardiens !
Merci à eux.
Hannah and I had a wonderful time staying at Jeremy & Katie's house. They are easy to communicate with and have clear and helpful documentation for the house and the animals. The dogs were friendly, and did a good job obeying commands.
We also enjoyed the area and would stay in Pellegrue again!
