General overview

We have a lovely 1 bedroom apartment (with additional super comfortable double sofa bed) and garden near the riverside in between Staines-upon-Thames and Laleham in Surrey, UK. It is in a lovely peaceful neighbourhood with restaurants, pubs and bars all within walkable distance (down the river). It has a very homely feeling and everyone in the past has loved staying here. We have a wonderfully friendly 3 legged housecat that would love some company, so would love to find someone to enjoy our home and give her some company whilst away. She is very easy going and requires nothing more than a little chat and some food. Central London is less than an hour by train (38mins) and the station is an 18 minute walk away or an easy 6 minute cycle (we have road bikes you can use in the garage). Windsor with the gorgeous royal castle is also 17 minutes away and there is a fabulous gastro dining pub run by a Michelin star chef (without Michelin prices). We are a 4 minute walk from a gorgeous stretch of the River Thames with countless walks/cycles along the tow path. For the more adventurous, Thorpe Park Resort theme park is just over the river (less than 10 minute drive) and in the summer Liquid Leisure is less than 10 minutes by car (inflatable obstacle course on the lake). Travel wise, we are 15 minutes from Heathrow airport and multiple motorways are a short distance away to the north and the south. We do have a small electric car we could also potentially easily ensure someone on with a valid license, as we will be leaving it behind. We often like to jump in the car and visit Oxford, the Cotswolds or Brighton.

Laura

We are an inquisitive family of two (Laura and Aimee) and our three legged feline companion. I work as a midwife in central London and Aimee as a police officer. We love to travel and have recently been to Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Japan, Egypt and have regular trips to France. We are shortly off to Madagascar for our next adventure. We are enormous foodies and love eating local food and trying tasting menus wherever we go.
