Far enough north to savour the country air, but close enough to London to reach King's Cross within an hour, this peaceful bungalow on the edge of Elstree is ideal for anyone looking for a break from the city. With room for six across four private bedrooms, families or friend groups eager for a rural escape will find plenty to like, both indoors and out. On the grounds, there's a bright open living area, two separate bathrooms (one with a bathtub), and even a stone fire pit for toasting marshmallows. Further afield, you can take a horseback ride along country paths, look out for planes using the nearby Aerodrome, or take a half hour drive to the enchanting Chiltern Hills.

Home truths

    Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.

    Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.

    Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.

    There’s free parking for up to two large cars or three small cars on the driveway.

    While the third and fourth bedrooms aren’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
