About this property

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).

Beautiful cottage in a quiet and visually stunning area

Staying here was such an experience. The cottage is like a dream home. It's beautiful, cosy, spacious, a perfect balance of vintage and modern decor. I honestly meets all the needs for a comfortable stay. The owner is fantastic, extremely courteous and accommodating. Couldn’t ask for a better host. The location is brilliant, close to Chiswick, Hammersmith, Putney, Fulham. Definitely a highly recommended stay! :)

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.

About the host

Hosted by Farid Bennis

Hi! My name is Farid, I grew up in London, UK and I now live in Quebec City - the capital Quebec province - Canada.

I speak English, French and Spanish and I love to communicate with my guests. I've been a host since 2014 and the vast majority of the time it is a great pleasure to welcome wonderful people and families from all over the world :-)

Why they chose this property

Although I no longer live there, I have very fond memories of the house since I spent my final school years, and university years living there. Since I grew up here, I know Barnes very well and I love it when guests ask for my advice about the village and the surroundings.

I must admit, I'm not an expert on London, but then again, who is?! We welcome your visit to find out more...

What makes this property unique

The house is well insulated and stays relatively cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The best thing about it is the 10 minute walk across Hammersmith Bridge. The river is beautiful to cross by foot!
