Needs and animals

1 Dog | 2 Cats | 6 Farm animals

We have a cat called Chicken, another called Kevin, a dog called Nocciola and 6 chickens.
Our dog will be coming with us for part of our trip but will be home for the second part of the period. The main requirements are feeding the cats and chickens, collecting eggs and general wellbeing of the animals. Chicken is slightly nervous but likes to sit on new people in the evening. The chickens are surprisingly friendly! We also have some plants which would need watering every few days.

House

A newly renovated traditional alsacien style house, completed in Dec 2022. The accommodation is a self contained house separate from the main house, that we also let out on Airbnb. Located within 10 minutes walk from the boulangerie in Hesingue. Close to the Swiss and German borders, a good base to explore Basel while experiencing the French countryside. We have wifi, access to Canal+, Netflix and Apple TV channels. In the basement we have a small gym with a spinning bike and weights. We have a few bikes which would also be available for use. The pool is currently closed for the winter. The house is located in a village in the countryside, but only 15 minutes drive from the centre of Basel. Supermarkets are within driving distance. A really good base to explore the Southern Alsace region and region trois frontiers, with the Swiss border less than 10 minutes drive and the German border 15 minutes drive. We also have a pool, which will be open by the end of April but likely to be very cold! There is a climbing structure in the front garden, and enough space for smaller children to scoot or ride their bikes to the rear of …

Tourism and Leisure

There are lots of interesting places to visit locally, with many castles located within 30mins, historic towns and the Wine Route in the foothills of the Vosges, and lots of museums. And that’s just in France, over the Swiss and French borders there are many other attractions to suit everyone. In nearby Saint Louis, there is a park and ride less than 10minutes drive away, where a tram into Basel can be caught.

Mon séjour chez Chris et Helen a été fabuleux. Un très grand merci pour l'accueil et toutes les belles attentions. Chris a eu la gentillesse de me prendre à l'aéroport puis de m'y raccompagner en fin de séjour, sans compter tous les services rendus aimablement. J'ai même pu rester 4 jours de plus que la date prévue, un vrai bonheur ! La maison d'hôtes a été rénovée récemment de la plus belle des façons et j'y ai trouvé tout le confort possible, et même plus...! Celle-ci est située à côté de leur grande maison, magnifique architecture alsacienne, dans un grand jardin avec piscine, au calme dans le centre du village d'Hésingue. Trois poules m'ont gratifié de leurs œufs chaque matin, et la chatte « Chicken » a été adorable, vivant sa vie tranquillement. A Hésingue, se trouvent tous les commerces de proximités, et à 10 min en voiture d'autres commerces plus importants (St Louis...). La proximité immédiate avec la Suisse et l'Allemagne est un véritable atout pour un tourisme multiculturel. Ce home-sitting a été véritablement parfait, propice aux nombreuses découvertes touristiques et au repos absolu ! Encore mille mercis Chris et Helen pour votre sens de l'accueil, votre simplicité et votre gentillesse. Je recommande très hautement ce home-sitting qui saura enchanter tous les futurs hôtes...

We absolutely loved this sit. The house we stayed is separated from the main house. It’s newly renovated, modern, clean and tidy with all the amenities. There’s a big garden and space for children to run and bike. The stars of the sit are 1 dog, 2 cats, 4 fish and 6 chickens, sounds a lot, but no worries, they are all well trained, well behaved and easy to take care of. They won’t disturb you at all during the night. Holly the dog is very sweet and obedient. Chris and Helen are nice, thoughtful and generous. Their daughters, Emily and Charlotte are as hospitable as their parents. My children had a great time with them and want to stay longer to play with them. I would love to sit for Chris and Helen again, I highly recommend this sit to others!
