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).

Clean, comfortable,spacious house in a nice location
We had a lovely stay in this house. It's a good location but you have to be ready to walk a little, at least at the moment since the Hammersmith bridge is only open to pedestrian traffic. Instead of a short bus ride to the Hammersmith Underground station, it's about a 15 minute walk. But from there, all of London is easily accessible. The house was quite comfortable. The neighborhood was charming, with several small restaurants that were very good. Only small compaints. The kitchen could have been better equipped. The bed in the office worked better on the floor. It's tricky to find the place in the dark; it's about 30 yards down a path that's not well lit.

Excellent location, great host
Warm house (essential in the middle of a London storm!), quiet, amazing location, great walking access to Hammersmith station over the bridge and along the Thames tow path. Make sure you read the hosts instructions for access, it is tucked away. Perfect for our group of 3. Host was very responsive and accommodating, very much appreciated.

Family trip
Property was in a good location, just a short walk across the Hammersmith Bridge to the tube. Home spacious and spotlessly clean. Could benefit from a bit of updating. Spare bed has a broken frame and towels well used. Overall though, a great stay and excellent communication from the host.

Wonderful house in Barnes
This is a wonderful place to stay. It is very clean. The beds are comfortable. There is great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The house is remarkably spacious and is decorated very tastefully. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. There is easy access to shopping and transportation nearby. Great choice for a London visit

It was exactly as posted for location. The hammersmith bridge was closed for traffic except for walking. So the tube is a 15 minute walk. The house was clean and kitchen well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Pub 2 minute walk and a few restaurants close by. I would stay there again.

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!
