Great central location, easy access to local shops
Great communication with the owner Sarah who was very helpful, good central location for trips in London. Property is comfortable (if a little tired in places) and all the bathrooms were spotlessly clean. The kitchen was a little disappointing and was not as clean and tidy as the bathrooms.

Pictures don’t do it justice!
Amazing property in central of London which makes it very easy to go out around the city. Santander bicycles right outside the property which were fun to use in the day time. Property is immaculate, big, spacious and very homely. Host communication was efficient and Sarah was a lovely woman and very compromising. My friends and I loved the property and will definitely be rebooking in the future. The beds are comfortable, towels are soft and thick. Everything was perfect, very happy with it all and we had an amazing stay.

Sarah’s apartment is everything you need for a stay in London. All of the rooms are a great size and the kitchen has everything you need. The property is extremely clean and Sarah herself couldn’t be more helpful. I would recommend to anyone thinking of staying.

Ideal rental in London. The house is beautiful, spotless and more spacious than similar properties in London, especially the bathroom provision. Easy communication and being greeted in person really helped make our stay easy.

Central location. Flexible, spacious and well equipped accommodation.
The Garden House in Pimlico provided ideal accommodation for us; two sisters staying with three of our grandchildren aged between four and eleven. The central location of the property meant travel times were kept to a minimum. The buses were particularly good - less than one minutes walk to the bus stop from The Garden House then direct routes to many attractions such as the museums. Inside The Garden House, the accommodation was surprisingly spacious and very well equipped. It was clean and furnished to a high standard. The 'extras' provided such as basic kitchen and cleaning supplies were much appreciated. So often with self catering, there is significant extra expense buying in these necessities. This is an example of the kindness shown to us by Sarah, the owner. Her contact before the visit to check we had everything required was welcome as was her personally meeting us at the house to show us round. I would book The Garden House without hesitation if required again in future and certainly recommend it to others.

Quirky fun and convenient for central london
Individual property over 3 floors with plentiful bathroom and relaxation space. The owner includes thoughtful additions such as rugs, books etc plus a well equipped cosy kitchen. We walked to the majority of central London attractions but bus and tube are very close. lovely local community - we would definitely book again next time we are in London

Thank you Sarah
I really appreciate you meeting us upon arrival. It is a great apartment and a great location. Victoria station one direction and Pimlico tube the other. We were very comfortable in the apt. It was VERY quiet at night. A lovely neighborhood. The apartment was clean and everything worked. I loved it and would stay here again.

Thank you, Sarah, for great accommodation!
We loved the Garden House! Very central. Many iconic London sights within walking distance which was wonderful. The Pimlico tube station only a short distance from the house can whisk you off to anywhere the tube goes and is extremely efficient. Get that Oyster card as this makes transit travel absolutely fool proof. Having a basic pantry at the house was very helpful and we used the kitchen every day. We had a great time and enjoyed our visit immensely. Thank you Sarah! Two thumbs up!
