We are looking for a Couple this July to house sit for two weeks and to "love" our two dogs, we have a Labrador and a King Charles Spaniel. We have a pretty garden, swimming pool and tennis court. I am a keen vegetable grower and would be grateful to have someone to water the vegetable garden and help themselves to any ripe vegetables in our absence.
the house is located in an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty close to Junction 13 of the M4 (an hour from London) but you quickly feel like you are immersed in the beautiful countryside. The house is detached and stands in a garden of an acre and a half. We have beautiful walks from the door or a short drive away, we are very close to Yatrendon and Bucklebury which both have outstanding pubs and cafes. There is also a lovely pub in Frilsham which is a 40 minute walk across fields. All the pubs allow dogs and make for a lovely lunch spot. A car really would be necessary in order to get to local shops etc, the roads in the area are country Lanes and not ideal for walking on. Newbury is the nearest decent size town and there is a Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tescos as well as a small John Lewis.
