About
Description
We are academics based in Europe, having taught at Universities in Cambridge, London and Geneva. We have owned the cottage on Bainbridge since 2003, and we have summered there with our family for the past 20 years. We leave most of our summer goods on the shelves, ready for use by visitors. We are primarily looking for people who will take good care of our home, as if it were their own. And we are happy with and flexible about various lengths of stay - anything from 2-10 months. We try to supply people on the island who are able to assist the residents with basic maintenance and home care, but will depend primarily on those living there to make certain things are cared for while we are away.
