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).

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!

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.

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.
