our house is situated on the outskirts of a village close to the M3 and 15 mins from M25. The house sits in 2 acres of well kept garden, two raised vegetable beds and a fruit cage for raspberries .The house faces south so gets all the days sun. It looks out over fields we own also. The house has five bedrooms two bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, dining room , kitchen and utility room. There is a large conservatory overlooking our garden which leads out to the terrace where you can sit and enjoy an evening drink. We have daily help and a gardener and most of the garden is automatically watered. There are lovely nearby in Windsor Forest, round Virginia Water and Lightwater Park as well as walks straight from the house out to fields. There is a theatre in Guildford and one in Windsor, cinemas in Camberly and Bracknell which are both nearby, You will have the choice of a double bed or a twin bedded room the bathroom has a walk-in shower.

Basically looking after, loving and walking our black labrador, he is a loving very well behaved dog, loves his walks and his food! Being 6 years old he is quite active I take him out first thing, he has a longer walk any time to suit in the morning and late afternoon has a short walk.. We do have a greenhouse which might need a little watering in the summer but otherwise the garden is automatically watered. In the summer when we are away there will be lots of vegetables and fruit for you to pick and eat. We would also need you generally to look after our house and keep an eye on things especially in the winter months.We have daily help once a week and regular gardeners so that side is all taken care of, we just like having trustworthy people in our house when we are away. To keep in regular touch with us when we are away. We have a house in Cornwall which we like to visit most months during the summer, we can take Finn with us or leave him with you but we do like to have the house occupied as we are a bit away from other houses and feel a bit vulnerable.

You could not wish for better hosts than Hannah and David, they are kind and hospitable. The house is lovely and their garden is the best spot in the area. We went for many walks and always longed to be back in the garden. We also enjoyed the vegetable patch, there is something very special about being able to pick your own produce and eat it fresh. This was our first sit and a wonderful experience, thank you Hannah and David for choosing us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our sit at Hannah and David's. They were very gracious, hosting us and making us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. Hannah drove us around the area and David took us on a lovely long walk so we could get to know Max and where he likes to go. And Max was a delight--calm, well-mannered, and loves his routines. He had no problem telling us what he wanted and when, and he was so easy to care for. He's quite a character and we miss him! We even had his Labrador friend Digby with us for a while, and they got along famously and kept us on the go. There are also some very kind neighbours who were always ready to assist, and even had us over for dinner one evening. We were only sorry to have to leave before Hannah and David's delayed return. We would definitely recommend this sit. Anyone lucky enough to get the chance will be rewarded with the company of a loving Labrador who lives in a beautiful home in an interesting area to explore.

A huge thank you to David and Hannah for allowing us to stay in their beautiful house and more importantly, care for their lovely, affectionate 'big black bear' Lab (as we were calling him by the end!). Max is a true delight to look after, I had a tear in my eye leaving him! The house is large with a beautiful garden that we sat out in many times. I would recommend this sit to anyone! Hannah and David are a lovely couple and were very welcoming! Many thanks! See you in July! Claire and Mike xx
