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).

Super Stay
The flat was excellent and ticked all of our boxes! 1. Clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, 2. Excellent location. With Hammersmith Bridge closed to car/bus traffic, Barnes is a quaint and quiet enclave in busy London. Good access to Central London and Heathrow or Gatwick (we needed both) via public transit. Either a 15 minute walk or bus ride gets you to a station accessing the Tube or National Rail systems. 3. Great host. Farid answered all of our questions pre-arrival. The refrigerator was stocked with milk, juice, eggs and bread, which was a great and welcomed surprise. And for the couple of issues that arose (seems there is always something), Farid was quick to respond and resolved everything. 4. Easy check in/out. A solid five-star stay!

Lovely apartment in a quiet London neighbourhood
The apartment was spacious and comfortable for our family of two adults and three teenagers. There were multiple bathrooms in the house which was convenient. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking meals. The location itself is quiet and quaint. It is about a 20 min walk over the bridge to the nearest underground station however from there you have access to four tube lines. We would recommend this location to anyone provided that they are willing to do a lot of walking. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely Place to Stay
I loved staying here! The cottage is private, peaceful, very spacious by London standards, and the bed was very comfortable. It's only a 15 minute walk to the Tube station for the Picadilly, Hammersmith, District, and Circle lines, that will get you anywhere you need to go, including directly to/from Heathrow. Only a couple of minutes walk to the Thames Path, and Barnes Village is super cute, and very quiet for being so close to Central London. I spent a week there and found it to be perfect for my stay. Great communications with courteous owner, as well. Id definitely recommend this cottage, especially to American travelers, because housing is tiny compared to what we are used to, and this cottage was shockingly spacious!

Great Location and Great property
This property was located in great spot; easy to get to the tube to access all London has to offer. The property itself has everything you need and more. The laundry was a great feature and a full service kitchen. It’s a great space to come back to kick back and relax after a great day adventuring all London has to offer. The owner Farid was excellent at communication and very detailed information to locating the property; that made it easy to find! Thanks Farid!

Great location and value
Quiet neighborhood with some airplane traffic. Relatively large place for a family or group needing two bedrooms and bathrooms. Great communication with owner. Large kitchen with everything you need to cook. About a fifteen minute walk to the Hammersmith tube station and town. Unfortunately the master bedroom shower was not draining properly during our stay. Note that the two bedrooms are up a spiral staircase if that is an issue for anyone considering staying. Relative to other similar properties, we found this to be a good value for the area.

The Perfect Quiet Getaway
Arrived late on Cgristmas Eve after a challenging day of train travel to find an unbelievably spacious flat with food in the fridge for breakfast. Farid was very kind and responsive and we loved the neighborhood- just a short walk to the Thames, with markets and restaurants just around the corner. Couldn't have been a better stay. Thanks!

Fantastic Location
We spent four nights at the property and enjoyed the location and accommodations. The hosts were responsive and kind. The location could not be beat. We wanted to be close to the city, but far enough away to feel like we are in a cozy neighborhood. We particularly enjoyed the cozy bed in the master bedroom.

Great weather and a great place. A bit far from London central but a quick 15 min walk to the Tube and you can go anywhere. A variety of shops just around the corner with multiple eating options. Location quiet except for the airplanes overhead but with the windows closed it’s not a problem. More room than I anticipated which made for a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of private space

Spacious Home
On our return trip to London, we stayed in this beautiful home. The space was simply amazing - much larger in person than the pictures give it credit. The host was also amazing - checking in with us during our stay to ensure all was well. The place can be a bit tricky to find, but the host gave us excellent directions that led us right to the property. DO NOT USE GOOGLE / APPLE MAPS! Rely on the information provided by the host and you can’t miss it. There are a few dining options near the property, and it’s a bit of a walk to the Undergound, but above ground transportation is near by and will easily get you around this side of London. We enjoyed our last few days in London, and being able to stay at this property definitely made our last few days more enjoyable.
