Further details for this vacation house rental in Westminster & West End, United Kingdom

Star rating: Quality in Tourism 4-star rating.

We have been advised not to go for a 5-star rating as that involves incredible luxury such as marble bathrooms and antique furniture throughout - and is less comfortable for families.

We keep the house in the best condition, constantly re-painting to remove scuff marks and renewing furniture and accessories regularly.

We have gone for comfort all the way down the line and pride ourselves on the fact that the house is imaginatively decorated and laid out in such a way that there are great opportunities for privacy, as well as for 'getting together' in larger groups.

The house is suitable, as part of a longer let, for entertaining up to 40 people in a buffet-style reception.

This house is also a great venue for team meetings and other business requirements. The six bedrooms and the (second) sitting room with fold-out furniture means you can sleep staff in 7 separate areas; and there's a great table for team meetings.

So centrally located for special events: This spectacular house is brilliantly located for special annual London events, including - within WALKING distance - the Chelsea Flower Show , the London marathon (finishing line), the New Year's Day Parade, the Lord Mayor's Procession & Show, the Russian Winter Festival, outdoor skating ,the Chinese New Year celebrations, Trooping of the Colour, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Thames Festival, the Chelsea Antiques fair, the State Opening of Parliament, the Royal Wedding, the London Film Festival, Guy Fawkes Night, the main New Year Celebrations, Christmas Lighting Celebrations.

Within a short tube/bus ride you'll reach the London International Boat Show, the Olympia Fine Art & Antique Fair, Wimbledon, the Holiday and Travel Show, Party in the Park, the Proms, the Covent Garden Festival of Street Theatre, the Notting Hill Carnival - and many others!

We’re also well situated for the Olympic Park, but are already booked for the three main Olympic weeks

Guest Book Comments: RECENT TESTIMONIALS: “Wonderful accommodation! We so enjoyed staying in a house instead of a hotel. Plenty of room for all nine adults.

A Most Memorable Vacation

Review Submitted: July 8, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We had a wonderful stay in London and the Tachbrook Street house was perfect for us. The location could not have been better or more convenient. We especially enjoyed the beautiful Warwick Square. I would highly recommend this property to friends and family travelling to London. I have absolutely no negative comments about the entire process or house. You were always prompt with my many questions and you were very helpful with the information provided after the booking. Thanks for all you did to make our vacation most memorable.

Tachbrook house fantastic place to stay

Review Submitted: March 30, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
I had the opportunity to bring 7 college students to London for a week-long study trip. The Tachbrook house was absolutely perfect for our needs: plenty of space, everything well fitted and comfortable, and a fantastic location to easily get to the sites and transportation around the city. The proprietor was fantastic to work with and left plenty of helpful instructions and tips. I recommend this highly and will look forward to calling it home again on my next trip to London.

Winter stay 2010

Review Submitted: December 7, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2010
2 colleagues and I stayed at this property for 3 nights while attending a conference at the QE2 centre. The flat's location was excellent - handy for tube access and walkable if it hadn't been Arctic like weather ! We liked the closeness of the shops and bars nearby - didn't get achance to eat at the Thai cafe but will do if back in future. The accomodation was first class- very clean and truly a home form home. All needs catered for with excellent kitchen, appliances, showers and comfy beds.Finally the owners are to be commended on their customer servicef which was antastic, Many thanks JH
