Ticks all the boxes

Review Submitted: November 18, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We regularly stay in apartments in London but this is honestly the best we have stayed in yet. Spacious, comfortably furnished with loads of character and every mod con you could want. Brilliant location with river taxi into central London 2 minutes walk and main rail and Docklands Light Railway 5 minutes walk. Great little deli/coffee shop on site as well and also a fantastic museum which kept our 10 and 8 year olds interested for hours.

October Visit By The Smith's From Worcestershire

Andrew.. Worcestershire
Review Submitted: November 9, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We are delighted with all of the aspects of our visit - contact and payment beforehand was informative and friendly, and we were met on arrival and on departure.

The apartment was clean, tidy and well equipped - ideal for a family visit to the capital - no need to move the car - river, bus, train and underground links are very good - a great place to 'crash out' when your feet are aching from a long day in town.

Total travel time into the centre of London is uop to an hour (including waiting time and walk to jetty/station) so factor these in when planning activities!

We ate out at lunchtimes, and made use of the relaxed 'home from home' in the evenings... great!
Owner's Response: To clarify the station is 300 metres from the apartment and there are eight trains per hour to London centre and the travel time is London Bridge 20 minutes, Waterloo 23 mins and Charing Cross 27 mins, The riverbus can take up to an hour depending where you wish to alight.

Easter in London

Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Just got back from the Easter school holidays at this fantastic apartment. We had a great time, the photos don't do the apartment justice it is wonderful. Brian & Brenda are a lovely couple, very helpful and keep the apartment in excellent condition. Highly recommend staying here. Brilliant access to London and all it has to offer and we all enjoyed travelling up River on the Thames Clippers which are right at the door almost. Thank you Brian & Brenda for a great fortnight. Tom, Sue, Alexander & Andrew.

Review Submitted: March 4, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family of five stayed at the appartment in December. We wanted a location within distance of central London, the Docklands and also accessible to Essex. The location was ideal, extremely clean and the hospitality of Brenda and her husband was first class. Having internet access was great for my daughters to stay in touch when we returned home in the evenings.We will definately use the appartment again when we return to the UK.

Discover London from its riverside

Ignacio and Claudia Stuerzelberg, Germany
Review Submitted: January 9, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Very nice apartment with view to the Thames. Excellent facilities and equipment, nicely and elegantly decorated. Makes you feel at home as you come in first time!

Very convenient location to visit Greenwich. Good public transport connections to and from the city centre (to train station 5-10 min on foot; 30 minutes with the train to any major railway/underground station). Particularly enjoyable is getting to the heart of London by boat on a sunny day (travel time 45-60 minutes, pier is 3 minutes walk from the flat)!

Private car is convenient but by no means a must. If you have one, it will be safely parked in a fenced area. Quick access to major road network and trouble-free crossing to the other shore.

Brenda has been a very hospitable and helpful landlady.

Absolutely recommendable for any type of stay in and/or around London without any reservations.

A great place to stay

Betty, Suresh & Boys The Netherlands
Review Submitted: January 7, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We arrived by car on Christmas Eve and were met my the friendly, enthusiastic and extremely helpful Brian. He even helped us with the luggage! A very decent chap indeed.

The luxury apartment was exactly as described and was very clean and well-maintained. It has all the facilities a family with young children needs (boys aged 4 and 18 months) and enough space for them to play with their Christmas presents.

We had an excellent, hassle-free trip and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this excellent high quality accommodation.

I have local knowledge, but liked that there was a comprehensive information pack of local restaurants, transportation and sights to be seen to make the visitor's trip even better.

We will be staying again (if available).

Be sure to book early as this one is a winner!

Fantastic apartment for London or South England

Brian, Maria, Ben and Gabriel Southern California, US
Review Submitted: December 2, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
The apartment pictures are good - but it looks much better for real offering a spacious and well decorated surrounding. The complex is very inviting with beautiful buildings which used to make up the Royal Arsenal artillery complex with history dating back to early 1500s and King Henry VIII. It is very quiet and makes you feel very relaxed after a day in London or visiting the countryside.

Woolwich Arsenal train station (short 10 min walk away) offers a fast and frequent service into London but there is also the opportunity to sail up the Thames using the local Thames Clippers. You could also rent a car and use the easy access to M25 and other motorways to explore the countryside.

We explored London, Oxford, Stonehenge, Bodium Castle and Battle of Hastings site and it was always a pleasure to return back to the apartment and relax.

The hosts (Brian and Brenda) put in so much effort before you arrive that it is no surprise that you end up having a great vacation. Brian and Brenda get 10/10 for friendliness and organization and the apartment gets 100/100.

You must consider this property for your stay and I would recommend this property without hesitation. If we visit London again I will make every effort to ensure I stay here again.

Location location location & hosts with the mosts

'Nuther Lancashire Lass Blackpool, Lancashire
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Fantastic apartment - spotless, very well equipped, secure, comfortable and stylish. The surrounding arsenal development/district is attractive, pleasantly quiet and the riverside location is lovely.
Excellent access to the city & public transport: 10 minutes easy stroll to the local train station and then just half an hour into central London - can't be beaten, as there are connections every few minutes.
Woolwich has supermarkets, eateries, daily market and chainstore shops - if you stay local. There is also a sophisticated deli virtually on the doorstep!
The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming, very accommodating, both unobtrusive and charming.
Unreservedly recommend this holiday home for anyone visiting London, whether couples, families with any age children or groups of friends.

Wonderful Experience

Trendymeg Elyria, Ohio USA
Review Submitted: September 20, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My husband and I and four of our friends met up for a week holiday in London. The apartment was beautiful and very clean. Everything was provided, sheets, dishes etc. The view was nice, and we really liked the large sitting room. The apartment gave each couple privacy which was nice and it was also very convenient to have a bathroom on the second floor. It was walking distance to the national rail station which was great. It was far enough from the city that it was quiet, but downtown was a short train ride. So excited to have free parking as well. Which is very rare in London. We felt our car was safe within the gated complex. Brian and Brenda were very helpful and were there to answer any questions we had. Brian even stopped over and gave us some advice on how to save time traveling to the airport. Very friendly couple, happy to help in any way they could. If we come back to London, we would love to stay in this apartment again. We would recomend it, and give it 5 stars! :)
