Our property has three floors, and eight bedrooms, which is currently run as a whole house self-catering rental, for a three/four-month season.

The owners will be resident at certain times of the year.

Duties include looking after, and maintaining, the house and gardens, swimming pool, and basic maintenance.

Managing additional staff and overseeing works within the property.
