Summary of reviews
A superb property with attentive hosts, well-equipped and clean surroundings, and excellent location for exploring local attractions. Highly recommended!

The aptly named Garden appartment is immaculate, fully equipped and beautifully presented. The hosts,Laura and David, could not be more welcoming and helpful. It is in walking distance to the restaurants and shops in Virginia Water, and to the railway station allowing easy access into London. Recommended unreservably!

The place was so clean and homely, it was the nicest little getaway with everything you needed in walking distance. It was really quiet and peaceful, with the nicest owner who made it easy and comfortable to plan our stay.

Place, space and pace are very appealing. We had high expectations for our stay at Chalk House. It exceeded them thanks to owners Laura and David Gray’s steadfast attention to so many details, large and small, all appreciated.

I could write a brochure about Laura and David's place. It is fabulous! Spacious and quiet, with generous windows that open onto a private garden surrounded by towering hedges, it's a quick walk from the train station. Squeaky clean. Delightful and informative hosts.
I was a little nervous about staying outside of London and selected this property based on the reviews. I was a little confused about the area, so I'll take a minute to explain. First, the town is actually "Virginia Water" (that's not a typo) and takes its name from a nearby lake, aka Virginia Water. This lake is in the gigantic park around Windsor Castle, officially known as Windsor Great Park. You can get there on foot (as I did) by walking down the street--it takes less than 30 minutes.
Once in the park, there's the lake (Queen Victoria held parties there), miles & miles of trails, pavilions with refreshments, and fabulous gardens. My favorite was The Valley Gardens, 250 acres of woodlands, putting-green styled grass, massive blooming rhododendrons, and moss studded with woodland hyacinths (bluebells to the British).
Windsor Castle is at the north end of this park in the town of Windsor.
Back to Virginia Water... the houses around this VRBO are monumental, with beautiful gardens. The area felt safe & luxe. A famous golf course is cleverly hidden across the street.
I hope this info will put your mind at rest: do not hesitate to book!

I really enjoyed my 3 day stay at this quiet garden apartment.Laura was very helpful with directions for arrival, friendly and approachable. I have a friend who lives nearby so I was able to catch up with her and we visited The Savill Garden, Virginia Water & Windsor. There are some great walks around and about and the break did me a power of good.

A beautiful clean and well equipped appartment, in a brilliant location to visit London and surrounding.
Especially for those who prefer a kind of quiet, green and posh neighborhood with all the infrastructure you need.
If you're interested in plants, gardening and lots of wonderful parks and forest including Saville gardens, Kew Gardens etc. around you this will be the place!
The owners are extremely helpful and nice and we felt like home! We can only recommend this place, Ingrid and Johannes from Vienna 😘

We had a fantastic week at this holiday apartment, just perfect for 2 people, it's one of the best we've stayed in. The owners had thought of everything and were very welcoming and informative about the local area and beyond. Close to all amenities shops, restaurants and the train station which you were able to get to London Euston in just 40 minutes. We would highly recommend staying here.

Another lovely stay in Runnymede
We returned to this accommodation for the 2nd time. Everything is sparkling clean and super well equipped. All the furnishings and kitchen equipment are high quality which makes for an extremely comfortable stay. The garden is beautifully kept by the very friendly hosts (and cat!). It's a 5 minute walk to the station which takes you straight into Waterloo. There are a small number of local shops and restaurants- we had a lovely curry takeaway. It's a lovely, peaceful area and we will no doubt be back again. Thank you!

Perfect doesn't say enough
Regrettably we only stayed 3 nights here. Longer would have been much better as there is so much to see in this area.
The apartment, or what we might call a "granny suite" was perfect. Clean! Decorated like something out of a magazine. Well stocked kitchen and a yard that "Homes and Gardens" could do a profile on. Sheeba, the cat was a bonus though she was not in the apartment.
David and Laura are great hosts who make sure that you are settled in but otherwise are unseen. Lovely chats with both of them.
A couple of blocks away is a string of shops and three restaurants that are worth a visit. there is a great coffee shop that is a licence to print money as it is always busy, and for good reason. Super coffee and pastries to tempt.
We tried the Italian and Chinese restaurants and loved them both.
WE would highly recommend this spot and would re-book without question. Thanks Laura and David!

The Chalk House Annexe

Best Property We've Stayed In
Staying at Chalk House's private accommodation was exactly what we needed to start our honeymoon off right, as well as make for an enjoyable and comfortable quarantine. We had the perfect amount of space for the two of us- nice bedroom and lounge area, nice kitchen, and nice bathrooms, the extra toilet was a bonus! Working with and talking with Laura and Dave was such a wonderful addition to the comfort and success of our trip. They are great! I would recommend this property to anybody who is looking for a relaxing stay, a private garden away from the big city, or an easy staying place to explore the area! We will definitely be back!

Virginia water experience
The apartment is immaculate and has everything one could possibly need. It is set in a beautifully maintained garden and is in easy walking distance to local shops and restaurants, including the famous Wentworth patisserie.
However, what makes the stay here special is the kindness and hospitality of the hosts, Laura and David Gray, who went out of their way to help us to enjoy our stay to the full.
Lovely place, lovely people.

Perfect!!!!
I have stayed in many places and written lots of reviews but have never used the word PERFECT until now.
The flat or garden cottage is better than advertised. Every detail has been taken care of. The kitchen is fully equipped (I mean fully!). The bed is excellent. The bathroom perfect. It has a nice little garden area outside which is part of the lovely garden of the main house. It was spotlessly clean and in really excellent condition. It is private with its own entrance and you can come and go without bothering Laura and David or even being noticed.
It's location for me (I was there for two weeks in self-isolation after arriving in the UK) was fantastic. There is a supermarket with all the food you could possibly want just about 200 meters from the flat, so you can walk down a very quiet road for a couple of minutes and shop for necessities very easily and quickly. Also there are restaurants that do pick-up and delivery in the same little shopping area. Also a pharmacy. The surroundings are beautiful, quiet and tranquil.
Laura and David were wonderful. Helpful, friendly and very respectful of your privacy.
I honestly found nothing to complain about in my whole two week stay.
Thank you Laura and David! I would heartily recommend this to anyone.

Perfect isolation
Coming over to UK from Australia, I had to isolate for 14 days. I couldn't have wished for a nicer place and such good value. Spacious and clean , lovely helpful hosts, beautiful garden to sit in and enjoy. I couldn't recommend David and Laura's accomodation enough.

A Great Well-planned Home.
We repeat all of the great things that have already been said about Laura and David and their beautiful property. We would like to add that we were so impressed at how well they had planned for everything we would need to be comfortable and feel at home over the two weeks we spent here. We highly recommend the Chalk House
