Exuded brilliance in a leafy hamlet not far from the city - in a lilac door.

It felt too good to be true for the price range and overall kindness of the owners. Jane and Keith are truly accomodating hosts no matter your situation. They booked me in last minute after I reached out to them requesting a booking just a day before! They were efficient, helpful with their knowledge about travelling around London, kind and lovely. If I get with my boyfriend I am definitely making him stay here instead of his London pad next time!

− Nothing!
