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).

Excellent, Relaxing City Cottage and Adjoining Neighborhood
Great stay, great property. Although the property is not in central London, getting there was a breeze by way of the Hammersmith underground station.

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 Nice Host
The living area is lovely and overall it was a comfortable stay. The towels/linens could do with replacement and the place could use a nice dusting to remove cobwebs, but it was generally good.

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!

This was a real gem in a great spot in Barnes. It felt like a home away from home and we stayed here twice in our recent trip to London. Our host was the best and we will be recommending this place to all our friends. We will be back.
