Great Family Gathering House

As a family of ten (3 generations) , the house was perfect to spend time together and space for privacy. The house was well appointed but would have loved a coffee pot and a few more basic provisions (salt and pepper, sugar,) that we have usually found at our vacation rentals. Overall, however, all was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

Many thanks for your review and feedback which is always welcomed. We are sorry that you felt the kitchen let the property down. Our advance welcome information pack outlines what the kitchen comes with, which at the time of your visit included 3 x Nespresso machines, 2 x cafetières, 3 coffee pots and 4 tea pots plus all the other usual equipment. For hygiene reasons and on previous client requests to ensure the kitchen is clean and sterile we do not leave any opened items such as sugar salt and pepper etc however on your recommendation we will look into this and see if we can do this for future clients as part of the existing welcome pack left in the kitchen. Many thanks again for booking us and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Happy onward travels.

Amazing house and amazing location. It is the perfect base for 1 or 2 families. Dog friendly too

This beautiful family home is just perfect for family gatherings. Set in the heart of the city only 15 minutes walk to the river Thames. Outside space is fabulous.. Highly recommend to anyone who love to get their family and extended family together. One more thing the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas... so extra little bonuses for us.

Lovely stay!

This was a lovely home with a 10 minute walk to the Lambeth North Underground Station. We had a group of ladies staying in the home and had plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was amazing and the home was well decorated to feel like a home instead of just a house. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. Each guest is provided with four towels. The bathrooms have plenty of toilet paper and wonderful toiletries. The beds are comfortable. We weren't actually in the home very much, as we were out seeing all there is to see! The only thing we were not expecting was the amount of stairs in the home. There are some seven floors to the house, mostly some five to seven steps up or down. While not a big deal, if you have mobility issues, it would be difficult to maneuver. We had a lovely stay and would stay again with a group.

Three generations for eight days in one 18th century house

This is a wonderful house in an interesting neighborhood, separate from the crowds of the central city, but only a modest walk or short bus or tube or cab ride away from everything. It's separated from the street by a small front yard, and has a very large, shady, attractive back yard with a lawn, many trees and bushes (some flowering), and a fig tree full of fruit. Great place to sit around the large table with a cold beer after a day of sight seeing. And the little shop next door is stocked with beer, wine, and an amazingly complete set of what a renter needs, except fresh meats -- you need to walk for those, less than half a mile to a Tesco Express or Saintsbury Local. (Those are a long way from suburban American super markets, but we found them adequate.) We were 13 people in four nuclear families and had plenty of space. The many rooms are beautifully furnished, with comfortable beds, and are reasonably well ventilated through the windows; no screens on the windows, but we had no problems with bugs in midsummer. The two large living rooms have lots of space and comfortable couches. The bathrooms have totally modern fixtures and are well stocked with towels, toiletries and TP. The kitchen has a huge stove with sufficient pots and pans, cutting boards, cooking tools, and a huge selection of dishes, flatware, and glassware. We cooked quite a few meals there and were quite satisifed. The dishwasher and microwave worked well. The two Nespresso machines were new to us (heavy drinkers of American coffee), but we bought some Nespresso pods on line and brought them to London with us and were quite satisfied with the result. The huge table in the bottom-floor living room accommodated the 13 of us easily. Damian's local representative, Caroline, gave us her cell number and met us at the house to show us around. She was available by phone or text if we had any complaints or problems, but we had none. The internet worked fine in the house, though the wifi was weak in some rooms

Luxury in South London

Luxury property, great location. My family of 9 had a great time. Lovely garden in which to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Would have been nice to have the outdoor chairs and table cleaned so we could have used it when the family was eating in. It was covered with bird droppings. Over all great. Outstanding master suite. Kitchen and bathrooms very modern.

Superb Location, Awesome House !

We had a superb Thanksgiving vacation at this luxurious home. Thirteen family members traveling overseas is a tricky situation and this home handled us well. This house is as beautiful as pictures advertise. It’s right next door to the Tankard Pub which is where we had a pint after playing our annual Thanksgiving family football game. Great depart location for visiting the major must see sites! Mark and Caroline (managers) were fantastic communicators and very hospitable. We did have some issues with electrical fuses needing to be reset, but understandable taking into consideration our family’s substantial power needs and the differences of American versus Europe power usage. All in all a wonderful trip made possible by staying in a wonderful house.

A gorgeous property and home with all the appointments!

We were only staying in London for a few days but once we entered this home we wished we could have stayed for a month! It’s gorgeous! Well appointed, meticulously decorated, spacious, perfectly located in the heart of London, and inviting. This home had it all. It slept 13 family members comfortably, had a beautiful little back yard, a front courtyard, it was spitting distance from a major bus line, and next to a 24 hour small locally owned grocer. All the modern upgrades you could ask for while maintaining the historical beauty of the home. The property manager met us upon arrival and walked us through the entire home and showed us how everything worked. There’s even a bit of urban wildlife sharing the backyard with you. We will sing the praises of this property to all who ask!

The trip of a lifetime!

We can't say enough good things about the home, location, or the hosts. We have only been home for 24 hours and are already talking about going back. We stayed with two families, 11 people in all. The home's size, floor plan, and bedroom/bathroom count allowed everyone to relax and have their own space after a long day of site seeing while also hanging out together in the spacious kitchen area. We also were able to check more items off our wish list in terms of site-seeing than we anticipated since the home is so close to major attractions. This home is a must stay.

Amazing

What a fantastic house! Everything you could possibly need is there. Rooms spacious and very stylishly dressed. Fantastic Location so close to the center of London. Small little shop next door really useful. Lovely Pizza take away also next door, would recommend. We stayed whilst we we getting Married in London. The house accommodated 11 of us and our Black Lab who was welcomed with house rules. It is a great entertaining house with the fantastic large Kitchen, fun lounge downstairs and large garden. Caroline the house manager so helpful and willing to advise on what she can. Owner Damian very helpful and accommodating through out the booking process. I would love to stay at this property again!

Wonderful

We had 3 generations in this house and all were comfortable and happy. Plenty of room to spread out with space large enough to also be together. The location of this house was perfect for walking to many exhibits and to experience London. Great location for groceries and restaurants. Would rent again should we return.

High quality but 300 year old house; close to the best tourist parts of London.

Spacious, very new bath/kitchen/etc. features. 300 year old house has only one-zone heating and lots of half-story stairs (a bit of a maze). But overall very nice. Not the usual tourist neighborhood at all, but very close to all the major London attractions. Very attention house manager.
