Bungalow, private garden, guest bedroom and bathroom with shower. Good access to M4 and A34. Village pub next door but one. Situated in village with no shop, car essential. Small towns to visit would be Hungerford and Marlborough. Close to Lambourn (valley of the racehorses) lovely church in village. Dogs can be walked from the house although a road needs to be crossed to get to the lane.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

No shop in village. Would need a vehicle. Very good off road parking. Both Alice and Dottie dog are senior but very easy and chilled, the garden is very secure. They both walk really well on the lead. Arthur is also old and can be let out during the day but must be kept in overnight.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
