Private garden, walk straight from the house into countryside. Guest bedroom with ensuite. We are located in the middle of the triangle of Basingstoke, Newbury and Reading. Small village with Church and hairdressers. Bucklebury Farm Park close by and a coffee shop. Lovely small towns to visit such as Hungerford and Pangbourne
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
We are situated in a village, there is no shop in the village. Housesitters would need to have a vehicle. Pickle, the cat will on occasions will catch a mouse and leave it as a present for you. Both Bugsy and Pickle are fed on raw meat, it is from a natural dog food company.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Outstanding hosts
Mark and Karen were excellent hosts and provided everything and more than required for a trouble free sit. Bugsy the Dog and Pickle the Cat were absolutely charming and trouble free. The house was extremely comfortable, and the bedroom was more than adequate with very a comfortable bed and pillows. All in all, the assignment was enjoyable with a lovely garden to potter around in and play with Bugsy. Walking Bugsy was a joy with amazing scenery and loop walks. Thank you Mark and Karen for the opportunity to experience your lovely home and pets and also our farewell meal. Brian and Lisette.
