A charming home to base your vacation while in London. The neighborhood is safe, with a 10-minute walk to Highgate tube station and a 15-minute walk to delicious food choices in Highgate village.

Great place to stay in Highgate

Clean, lovely, beautiful stove & modern kitchen space. If you’re staying during hot weather, request fans from the host for the bedrooms at night as there is no A/C, but that’s the norm in the area. Steep steps, so might not be the best option if you have very young kids, but for teens and adults, this is an utterly lovely spot for a stay. The host lives right next door and was very responsive to our requests for fans and help with WiFi when we were there.

The pictures on VRBO do not tell the whole story of this charming property in Highgate. There is a nice sitting room—with TV—as one enters the front door for starters. The bathroom is brand new and includes a good size tub for those of us who enjoy a good soak. The garden in the back is a nice oasis when the sun shines. The kitchen has everything one would need. Finally, a rare and vital off street parking space exists right in front of the red door. My wife and I recently stayed for 5 nights and the rental experience could not have gone more smoothly. The owner was lovely and lives next door, although we only met her once. All in all, a great property in a very desirable part of London. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay in this cottage! I do want to give some tips if you are American and visiting. There are some great plugs in this house that use USB A and C, so that helped so much with adapters for us. We were surprised that there were no washcloths or top sheets in our linen supplies, but that, I think, is local custom, so just be aware. There is not a coffee pot here, in the traditional sense, but there is a small Keurig-style machine. I could not source pods in the small local stores, but its easy enough to bring a few if you know about this. There is also a mocha pot that confounded me. I just drank tea quite happily. Bus is right outside the door, it does take about 40 minutes to get to central london destinations using bus/tube, but it was quite easy to figure out. It was hot during our visit, but the fans provided made it tolerable and the house is charming enough I did not care.

Thanks Michelle for your constructive comments. Yes, it is quite normal to have beds made up with fitted sheets and duvets in duvet covers. As it has been a heat wave we were happy to provide extra top sheets. We also undrstood that you broke one if the coffee pots - these things happen - so no problem. All the best for your onward journey

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Sarah and I live next door to the rental property so I am usually available to help if guests need anything during their stay.

Why they chose this property

Highgate is an amazing place to live, It's high on a hill so from the village and Heath we have great views of central London. You can be in the centre of town in 30 mins.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is cosy and historic at the same time as having modern appliances, clean decor and comfortable beds. The parking place and private back garden are great bonus to this lovely cottage.
