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).

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.

Fantastic Property
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.

Well equipped house and great host
We stayed here for a week and were able to explore the city well from Farid's house. With our questions or problems, the host was always easy to reach and was able to help quickly. The house is in a quiet area. It's all a bit older, charming and well furnished.

Great place
We loved this place. There is plenty of room for a small group to sleep and a dining room table and living room where they can gather to eat, talk or play games. Its also a great spot to stay in London without being in the busy center of the city. Easily within walking distance to buses or the tube.

Prime location
Excellent location for walking, shopping and public transportation. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The home was spacious enough for my wife and two teenagers. Everything we needed was provided. And the owner was in contact with us regarding our needs for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property.

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. Thank you for a lovely start to our vacation!

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!

Great family time in London!
Farid was so helpful, warm and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay with our 3 year old and 10 month old. The travel crib was a little tricky to figure out, but we eventually got it. The description of the location is super helpful fr Farid. Thank you!!

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!

London 2023
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

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.

Superb, unique, perfectly situated cottage
This cottage was perfect for us. So peaceful and quiet, two words not normally associated with London accommodation. Great restaurants on the doorstep (The Georgian restaurant was amazing) and even more just a pleasant stroll away in Barnes. Wandering ten minutes over beautiful Hammersmith Bridge to Hammersmith tube and all the London sights are within easy reach. The cottage itself is spacious and warm, with lovely comfy beds. A few minor maintenance tweaks probably needed, but only little things and nothing that would put us off returning. We really really loved it. It's a hidden gem of a place.

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.

The host Farid, is probably the best communicator and helpful person you will find. The place is tucked away and quiet. It has good access to get into central London an the local area of Barns and Hammersmith has lots to do and some great bars and restaurants.
