We tend to stick to a sitting room or den, kitchen, our bedroom and one bathroom. Less cleaning! But I do like cinema rooms with reclining chairs. And hot tubs and swimming pools are usually used when weather permits.
My favourites are large rambling gardens and outside sitting areas. Curling up on a sun lounger with a book is heaven.

I had a great one over Easter - a house with an eyewateringly expensive bean-to-cup coffee machine. I was obssessed with it. Pretended to be a barista every morning whilst talking to the 2 labrador ācustomersā. Practised my ālatte artā. Now saving up for one.

I am so glad someone else has ādoggie talksā. Itās great to have a captive audience. Although I did start to sing once and the pooch walked out of the kitchen. I was rather offended.

Iām a water baby too. If thereās a hot tub Iām invited to enjoy, Iām in. I also once did a sit at a home with a pool that was featured on Oprahās show. It wasnāt much for lap swimming, but floating around the back yard as the pool snaked its way through the landscaping was wonderful!

Currently on a sit in U.K. with an outside pool - we didnāt use it last time as it was winter - making the most of it this time as itās glorious sunshine

Sometimes thereās a sitting room that has no TV, lovely furniture, very peaceful. The hosts usually say āWe donāt often use this roomā - but we do, as they tend to be great spaces for yoga and meditation! We donāt use TV snugs much except in the winter. Offices we do use if offered, as we both work from āhomeā - but our favourite spot is often the kitchen table! We donāt tend to use gyms, but one of our favourite sits has a barn gym with a table tennis table - we use that a lot. I love it when thereās use of a summer house. A recent sit had a moutainside sauna with an arch window: you can bet we used that!

Dogs are often amazed when I start to sing, I like to think because itās a new experience for them! I also have a tin whistle which usually goes down well with dogs, though one cat hated it - and another ran for her life every time my partner got his guitar outā¦
I donāt use amenities like pools, hot tubs, gyms and movie rooms. We even own a home with a pool Iāve never been in, LOL. It came with the house. I have a huge tub at home, which Iāve not used. It also came with the house. I prefer showers.
I never even turn on the TV when I sit. I watch stuff on my iPad, because I can carry it inside and out and from room to room. And I can easily pick up my movie or show where I left off.
I do enjoy a nice garden and/or conservatory, especially with furry friends.
