Calm & Spacious Cottage in Barnes Village SW13, 30 Minutes from Downtown London

Luxurious and comfortable, come and enjoy London from our house. With a village feel in the city, the location has easy transport links to London Underground or Railway Services. A tube or train will take you to central London in just 20 minutes!

The house dates back to the early 1900s and it's 'boomerang' layout and unique spiral staircase give it a special look and added space - great for kids and adults alike. It retains some original features, such as the fireplace. It is conveniently tucked away down Castelnau row footpath and is the biggest of 7 cottages, in this very calm spot. The house sleeps 5 adults comfortably.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything required to do some serious cooking if you're up for it! There is also a utility room with separate washer and dryer machines for laundry.

There are a couple of great cafes within 2 minutes walking distance of the house: Sips & Bites (Italian) and Spoonful (French). There is also a greengrocer and natural foods merchant on the same row of shops. I highly recommend PostBox Indian restaurant and The Bridge pub.

In Barnes village, there are many restaurants to choose from. Don't miss the Olympic Cafe and Cinema, and Rick Stein fish restaurant, a little further up in Sheen.

Barnes is a very coveted area in SW London, there is a large amount of nature accessible nearby - the river Thames (3 minutes walk), the Leg-O-Mutton nature reserve (3 minutes walk), Barnes Common and Barnes Pond (5 minutes bus ride) and the London Wetlands Centre (www.wwt.org.uk) a wetlands reserve for wildfowl and birds (5 minutes bus ride or 20 minutes walk). On the subject of nature, the house is only 15 minutes drive away from Royal Kew Gardens (www.kew.org), a must for any lover of plants!

For those looking to do shopping, the Wesfield shopping centre is just North of Hammersmith on the other side of the river Thames (www.westfield.com). There are also world famous museums located nearby in South Kensington: The Natural History Museum (www.nhm.ac.uk), The Science Museum (www.sciencemuseum.org.uk) and The Victoria and Albert Museum (www.vam.ac.uk).

Excellent location, great host

Warm house (essential in the middle of a London storm!), quiet, amazing location, great walking access to Hammersmith station over the bridge and along the Thames tow path. Make sure you read the hosts instructions for access, it is tucked away. Perfect for our group of 3. Host was very responsive and accommodating, very much appreciated.

Great place

We loved this place. There is plenty of room for a small group to sleep and a dining room table and living room where they can gather to eat, talk or play games. Its also a great spot to stay in London without being in the busy center of the city. Easily within walking distance to buses or the tube.

Fantastic Location

We spent four nights at the property and enjoyed the location and accommodations. The hosts were responsive and kind. The location could not be beat. We wanted to be close to the city, but far enough away to feel like we are in a cozy neighborhood. We particularly enjoyed the cozy bed in the master bedroom. Thank you for a lovely start to our vacation!

Spacious and Quiet Home Away From Home

This spacious and comfortable home was in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our daily stroll across the Hammersmith bridge to the tube station. The host was very helpful and prompt with his replies to my messages. His tips for getting around London and to-and-from Heathrow were excellent. This first time visitor to London was most appreciative!

First trip to London

For a first trip to London and a first trip staying in a Vrbo, this was absolutely wonderful. Farid the property owner was super helpful with the entire process. We were able to check in a little bit early when our flight got in before we were expecting and he was very gracious with the checkout process as well. Ease of access to City center wasn't great, the 15-minute walk across the pedestrian bridge into Hammersmith to catch the tube wasn't always ideal, but at no point did we feel unsafe or hindered by the process. All in all, I highly recommend and would absolutely stay with them again!

The Perfect Quiet Getaway

Arrived late on Cgristmas Eve after a challenging day of train travel to find an unbelievably spacious flat with food in the fridge for breakfast. Farid was very kind and responsive and we loved the neighborhood- just a short walk to the Thames, with markets and restaurants just around the corner. Couldn't have been a better stay. Thanks!
