Isle of Wight/ Scotland based married couple

About this sitter

We have actually created this account to apply for a specific opportunity at Kilchrist Castle.

Why they want to house sit

Because we own a woodland in the Campbeltown area which we have just finished a two year NatureScot funded habitat restoration project and we would like to be able to spend the summer nearby so we can tidy up properly. We have also made an offer to purchase a local farm and if it goes through we will not be able to stay at the house until autumn at the earliest.

Their experience

Yes but not for anyone apart from family, who have drummed good housekeeping values into us.

What can they bring to the assignment

Peace and quiet, respect for the property, people who are keen to learn about operating a hospitality business in Kintyre. Pre-existing local relationships and a connection to the community, particularly on the Learside Road area. Local references if required also former councillor Rory Colville in Kilchenzie, John Galbraith from Polliewilline, Ian and Francis from Muneroy. Lots of experience working outside, we own a sawmill both have chainsaw certification. We also own and run a small cafe on the Isle of Wight so we are well versed in professional standard cleanliness and hygiene regimes. Good family upbringing with good values.
