Photos and Description of the London vacation apartment rental 1 Bedroom; sleeps 2. Just 25 minutes to central London's attractions.

This elegantly furnished, converted stable block stands in the walled grounds of a 17Th century former farmhouse and bakehouse. The self-catering holiday accommodation comprises a beamed living room, cosy double bedroom in the eaves, small, well-equipped kitchen, and shower room. ****Star rated by Visit-England. Facilities include TV, DVD, CD, washing machine. Linen is provided. In summer the walled garden is ideal for peaceful evening drinks. This is a romantic hideaway, yet, there are characterful cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops nearby on the historic Winchmore Hill Green. This old Quaker village retains the atmosphere and friendliness of past times, yet it is now very much part of modern London. Fast trains to central London are 2 minutes away and take you to Eurostars international terminal in 20-25 minutes. An ideal place for a short city break, or weekend break, this family run holiday accommodation offers you a friendly welcome.

Winchmore Hill is a pleasant residential area of London from which trains take you to the West End's theatres, museums, galleries and shops in just 25-30 minutes. The City (St Paul's Cathedral, The Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe, Tate Modern) is equally accessible by train. The Old Bakery (a working bakery known as Chalkley's Bakehouse until 1945), is one of a group of 17Th century buildings near the 'village' Green, which is a historic Conservation Area. The Green has charming pubs, restaurants and traditional tea-rooms, as well excellent food shopping. In the 1660s, Winchmore Hill became one of the earliest Quaker communities, founded by George Chalkley. His son, Thomas, emigrated to America and became a famous preacher. The Quaker Meeting House and the Old School House are nearby. The university City of Cambridge can be reached by train in 1 hour 15 minutes, and beautiful Hatfield House (where Queen Elizabeth I lived before becoming Queen) in 45 minutes.

Our 11 days in September 2009

Melburnians Melbourne Australia
Review Submitted: November 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The Old Bakery was recommended to us by friends who stayed here last year & we would happily make a similar recommendation. We did not want to stay in a hotel in London & although it was a short train journey or two into London, this was straightforward & quick. The Old Bakery has heaps of character with a lovely courtyard garden & tortoise! It is both very clean & comfortable & Nina was helpful in every way. Winchmore Hill is a lovely place in it's own right with the 'village common', pubs, shops & tea rooms.Photos on the website are the real deal! Our stay of 11 days was longer than we normally have in any one property, but on this occasion we chose well.

Lovely place to stay

The_Don Ireland
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
As a man who regularly travels on business, for a trip to London for a break away, I wanted to stay somewhere outside the craziness and hustle and bustle of the city centre and also didn't want to stay in yet another impersonal, anonymous and expensive hotel.

The Stables in the Old Bakery is a beautiful little cottage around half an hour by train from central London in what is a very quiet and yet lovely village type area. A deli, some pubs and takeaways and a big supermarket are all within 5 minutes walk. Felt very safe walking around the area at night. Nice area with no antisocial behaviour noticed.

The Stables itself has everything you could possibly want in an accomodation. The kitchen is very well equipped with every utensil you could possibly need for self catering. A fridge and larder that was even filled with all the basics (bread, milk, olive oil eggs etc.).

The bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed with high quality linen and lots of pillows and cushions. It's located up a ladder type stairway (not suitable if your mobility is in any way limited) in a loft in the roof and despite hitting my head off the roof a couple of times was very cosy. There's a heater there for winter and a fan for summer.

Bathroom contains an electric shower and washing machine.

The main room has a TV with a reasonable selection of DVDs (though a few newer up to date movies would be great) and hundreds of books as well as a radio/CD player. Great after a day's shopping or a night in the local pub. Very comfy chairs and sofa. Centrally heated.

Lots of plants and a table outside and completely cut off from the outside world with a separate entrance for guests staying there.
The directions provided beforehand were excellent and I had no problems finding it.

Very good customer service. Nina showed me around the house and recommended several eating and drinking places in the area. She was available whenever I needed but wasn't intrusive or nosey.

Great place to stay for a trip to London, lovely and peaceful with a personalised service you don't get from hotels. Takes around half an hour via underground and overground train.

Will be back for another trip early next year :)

Delightful!

Review Submitted: October 24, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We really enjoyed our stay at The Stables.
Our return 'home' was a combined business/pleasure trip and the location and accommodation met all our needs perfectly. Whilst being so quick and easy to get into London, once back at the cottage we could almost believe we were on holiday in rural Devon - a charming, cosy retreat and thoroughly recommended.

Preciosa casa cerca del centro de Londres.

Rosa. Spain.
Review Submitted: October 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Mi marido y yo pasamos una semana maravillosa en esta preciosa casa que en su día fue un establo y que sus dueños han restaurado con mucho gusto y acierto para convertirla en lo que ahora es: un lugar estupendo para aquellos que quieran visitar Londres, con la doble ventaja de que está muy bien comunicada con el centro de la ciudad (la estación de tren está a menos de cinco minutos) y de que, por encontrarse situada en una zona muy tranquila, permite disfrutar de paz, silencio y tranquilidad después de un día entero de visitas por el centro. La casa está perfectamente equipada, muy limpia, la decoración está muy cuidada, y Nina, la dueña, es encantadora: nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos, y gracias a ella y a toda la informaciòn que nos proporcionó pudimos organizar mejor nuestras visitas al Londres más turístico. Por otra parte, cerca de la casa hay tanto restaurantes como un supermercado grande en el que se puede comprar de todo. En definitiva, la relación calidad-precio es excelente.

A beautiful hideaway within easy reach of the city

Jennw Near Warrington, Cheshire
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
In a word: perfect.
I hate cities on the whole, but my daughter and I were visiting friends in North London and planning some exhibition / museum visits while we were down there. Staying in the city would have just been a nightmare for me, so when I stumbled across The Stables I was delighted.
Very well-priced, beautifully arranged property; simple but very well-equipped. Excellent sized living room (much bigger than it appears from the pictures), ample kitchen & bathroom, and a wonderful loft bedroom in the eaves.
Separate entrance from main road via a lovely garden with seating (and a friendly tortoise!).
It was an absolute pleasure to return here after a day of trekking around the city, or even a long walk locally - it felt just like home.
Local amenities include a large supermarket and the usual High St shops/eateries all within 10-15mins walk (2mins drive), but around the village / green you can find a lovely deli and plenty of independent shops & restaurants.
Main line train station is about a minute's walk around the corner from The Stables, from which you can pick up the Tube in about a 10-15min journey.
I would not hesitate to rebook at The Stables for my next trip to London and would heartily recommended it to anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxed break within very easy reach of London.
