Lovely, bright apartment

We had a wonderful time staying in the sunny loft. We had no trouble navigating the train and/or bus system to do many cultural, sporting, shopping and arts activities in London.

Good family-friendly stay.

The location made it easy to catch a train to everywhere we needed to go in London with a very short walk. That was very convenient. The apartment fit our family of four well and had everything we needed for a cozy, comfortable stay. Grocery stores are close by, which we used to buy what we needed for breakfasts to cook at the apartment, saving us some money. Great communication from the hosts as well.

General review

It was a joy. Jean and Ralph, the property managers, were lovely people. I did not have email access so there were problems communicating with Sue, the property owner. In the end it was all resolved.

Unpleasant

We loved London, we did not like the flat we stayed in. First of all, it was on the third floor and a lot of steps. Which was not clarified clearly with the booking. Overall, the cleanliness was not to be desired, and it smelled in the hallway. I would not recommend staying in this flat to anyone I know.

Hi I believe that a loft flat description says it is upstairs, to be precise the second floor. I would have sent a cleaner in to correct anything not acceptable if given the chance but I was not asked even though 2 numbers are given for any issues. The hall smell I cannot comment on, possible food from another flat (6 in the hallway). After 27 years of hosting this is a very rare negative review which I would like not to happen at all so your comments are noted.

Affordable stay for small tourist group

My family and I were disappointed in our accommodations. The apartment was too small for our family of 4. There was no air conditioning and we were uncomfortably warm sleeping at night. I thought, looking at the pics and the description, it’d be suitable and not an attic space where we were on top of eachother. It advertised a sauna but it was out of order and there was no hot tub. It’s a bit far from London center and all the sightseeing we wanted to do. We had to Uber everyday which got really expensive. I wouldn’t recommend more than 2 people to stay and you definitely need a car to see any of the sights.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug, 2024
Hi Colby I'm sorry you had an unhappy stay. I don't advertise air conditioning, London only needs it one week a year. The photos of the apt do show sloping ceilings so it is obvious the flat is in the loft. The sauna was out of order due to a guest pouring water into the coals, for this I apologise. We do not advertise a hot tub, only a swimming pool. You absolutely do not need a car, we are in zone 3, a 12 minute train ride to the centre. The drive would take over an hour. Why didn't you take the train and tube to sight see? There was a contact number for advice. With regard to the size of the apt, there are 2 double bedrooms, in 26 years of renting you are the first person to say it's too small for a family of four. Maybe you are used to much larger spaces. Again I am sorry you did not have a good stay - that is always my intention. Sue

We checked in late in the evening. The keys were waiting and the codes were provided. The kitchen was well set up, pool was refreshing after long days of seeing the sites, no pool towels. It was brutally hot for our entire stay, we welcomed the fans, wish all the windows would open for a cross breeze. The garden is lovely. It is a few minutes walk to trains, busses, and shops/grocers. Mailbox right outside. Access to washers but no clothes dryer however there is a hanging dryer in the loft. It was quiet. Adequate space for 4 adults to move about. Supplies are there to start you off, if you have an extended stay you are expected to provide your own toilet rolls, body wash/shampoo and laundry soap. Not sure if this is standard fair it was our first vacation rental and a positive experience! It is a loft so there are stairs to climb but quite manageable. We would have extended our stay had the loft been available. Would highly recommend this place. One note, when we ordered share ride/taxi/Uber we were informed no cars were in our area, later we discovered drivers will decline calls from the area because it is a long distance. Our next destination was 9 miles away.

Excellent

Nous avons passé un excellent sejour à 4. Le logement est bien situé proche des transports en commun et supermarchés. Le logement n'est pas très bien insonorisé et quelques travaux sont à prévoir. Le logement reste spacieux, fonctionnel et la literie est vraiment top. Nous avons également eu de très bons échanges avec la propriétaire.

Wunderbare Woche

Es gab alles was man brauchte in dem Appartment um morgens ausgiebig zu frühstücken und zu kochen. Verschiedene Lebensmittelläden befinden sich in der Nähe. Schade dass der Pool nur am nachmittag bis Abend geöffnet war. Da waren wir meistens unterwegs in London. Die Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel ist sehr gut. Es gab eine schöne grosse Dusche. Wir würden auf jeden Fall noch einmal diese Location buchen.

Why they chose this property

The properties are family and pet friendly and the area is very well connected to the town of London, only 12 to 20 minutes by train to London Charing Cross and London Bridge but also very close to the stunning countryside, only 40 minutes to be in the middle of the Deer Park in the green Sevenoaks!

What makes this property unique

The beautiful English gardens, the fish pond, the aviary and the variety of plants and flower will enchant you, along with a stunning Greek-style heated swimming pool and a sauna will charm you.
