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).

We had some initial problems as the property had been left empty for a while with quite a bit of water damage and the roof needed repair, so walls were damp. Things improved after roofers came and heating was on for a few days.

Our host was excellent, as he responded quickly to any and all questions I sent. The description provided in the listing is spot on. It was a wonderful home for our family of 4, with plenty of food and shopping within walking distance. There was breakfast food available in the home upon our arrival, and the bed was very comfortable. Having been to London multiple times, this was our favorite home to stay in by far. The Tube is an easy 10 minute walk from the home. I have nothing but positive comments to say! 10 out of 10 stars!

Wimbledon Get-a-way

We booked this property for a visit to Wimbledon, and it was an excellent choice. It’s in a great location and is easily walkable to the foot bridge and a few nice restaurants, and had great access to Uber and local busses.The house was spacious and felt comfortable to live in. It was exactly as advertised and we would absolutely book it again.

This place is a mixed bag. The location is second to none for Barnes--at the top of Castelnau Road within easy walking distance of Hammersmith station. It is affordable compared to other similar sized places in London. The host was attentive and very prompt in responding. The property is not in the best of shape--the bathrooms have old fixtures, bad water pressure and the bedroom doors are flimsy. It smelled of damp when we got there too which improved as the heating was put on. I hesitate to be critical because of the great host. If a bit of were put toward upgrading the bathrooms I would give it high marks.

Nice accommodation outside of London proper

Comfortable home south of the Thames. Just a note: if you are unable to use public transportation Uber rides to central London are pricey because the the Hammersmith Bridge, although very close by, is only open to pedestrian traffic, Would recommend for families with teens.
