Photos and Description of the North Kensington vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 8-9)

Welcome to our mews house, a beautiful architect designed family home in Notting Hill . This is very much a loved home full of character and interesting artifacts from around the world and is light, airy and comfortable. (The house has very high ceilings which is uncommon for a mews house) ,a newly refurbished property over three floors (2640 square feet) with all the facilities one could wish for.

The house is in a safe and quiet conservation area in a private, gated, cobbled mews, a convenient seven minute walk to the bustling Portobello Road where the famous Portobello Antiques Market takes place on Saturdays, the daily open air market where you can buy fresh flowers and food, and plenty of great restaurants and cafés.

Westfield shopping mall (Europe's largest) and Shepherd's Bush Central Line station is 5 minutes away.

Ladbroke Grove Underground station is only 7 minutes walk, and there’s a frequent bus service within a 2 minute walk that takes you to Oxford Street and the West End, (London’s theater district). Of course, we have a local taxi company that can take you anywhere at the drop of a hat!

A nearby bus service will take you to the famous City of Oxford in only one hour.

The ground floor level of the house has an oak-floored open living, dining and kitchen space with a Pantry and Utility / Laundry room. Under-floor heating throughout and a wood burning stove make it warm and inviting.

It has a well-equipped hi spec kitchen with a professional range cooker, American style fridge/freezer (with ice maker) and separate wine fridge. The double height dining area has a long glass topped contemporary table with Eames dining chairs and an open wood burning fireplace. There are also 2 Stokke highchairs should you need them.

The first floor has two bedrooms, (one with a King-size bed and the other with bunk beds and a pull out bed underneath, a beautiful spacious bathroom (a “wet room” with under-floor heating, an amazing rain shower, classic roll top bath), a Bedroom / TV room with double sofa bed, with satellite TV and a DVD, (with an extensive collection of DVD’s for those “stay at home” days when you’re walked off your feet) and of course WiFi.

The second floor comprises a master suite with a King-size bed, en suite bathroom, (also a “wet room” with under-floor heating, powerful shower, roll top bath), a dressing room and a further bedroom with a single bed that converts into a Kingsize bed and also a Stokke crib / cot if required.

The house is incredibly child friendly, we know how difficult it is to travel with children and slip quickly into a routine when you arrive somewhere new! We have plenty of books and toys and there are stair-gates and baby monitors in the bedrooms should you need them. If you're travelling with children you won't need to bring a thing other than their favourite snuggly!

Towels and linen are included and changed fortnightly. The house is beautifully cleaned before each rental. Additional linen is available by arrangement and maid service during the rental period can be provided at guests' own cost.. Our housekeeper lives round the corner and is on hand to deal with emergencies.

We can also provide you with a reliable babysitting service if desired.

We provide a house file filled with useful information so you can quickly get to grips with where everything is, not only in the house but our preferred restaurants and services in the area. There are also plenty of travel guide books.

The accommodation is enormously flexible. As there are bedrooms on all floors, different holiday makers can base themselves in separate areas. The beds are of very high quality, and so are the showers: tenants often write appreciative notes about these. All the bedrooms are quietly appointed, so there should be little to disturb your sleep.

The house is a beautiful, practical and peaceful place to escape and enjoy London's hustle and bustle, our guests have told us that they enjoyed ' the luxury of a hotel whilst feeling a part of London life.'

Exceptional Home!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 10, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Without a doubt, this must be one of the best homes in London to rent! I’ve rented a lot of VRBO homes in the states but never ventured beyond that until now. The owner, Katie, was fabulous and did so much to make our stay comfortable from providing recommendations for our New Year’s Eve dinner to the name of the local car service(use it….with a group of 6 it’s cheaper and much more pleasant to see above ground). The pictures only begin to tell the tale of how beautiful this home is and it’s exceptional use of space planning along with top notch design and decorating give everyone their own space while also providing a large connected family and kitchen area for just hanging out. My husband and I brought our 3 adult sons (ages 20-25) along with my oldest son’s new bride. It was a perfect house for the six of us and everyone had their own comfortable room with luxurious bedding(even the children’s rooms were comfy). The beds are usually my biggest problem when renting but seriously, everything was exceptional. Let me also add that the location was not only safe and secure behind a secured gate but it was fabulous for walking, eating, catching the tube if someone wanted to venture out on their own, and my favorite…shopping on Portobello Road or walking to Kensington Gardens. We spent a week at this home and know that we will be back. There’s no other way to see London. I highly recommend it! Thank you Katie!!!!

A real gem!

This beautiful house was exactly as described! We, a family with 4 children all aged under 10, felt at home immidiately. The house is carefully decorated and perfectly equipped. Although everything was perfectly clean and well-maintained the atmosphere was not "hotelish", we felt like staying at a friends house. The house is extremely child-friendly, it offers highchairs, loads of toys, the children were even allowed to use the bicycles and could play outside the house as it is a gated property. Katie, the owner, was very helpful and friendly. The location of the house is not only charming, but also really central, bus stops and the tube are very close. We had a wonderful time, thank you so much! We would definitely recommend the house to friends or relatives.
