Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This retro-styled home is full of fun – from the coral and mint coloured kitchen with plenty of room for entertaining, to the quirky tiled bathrooms and sunny yellow sitting room. It’s set up for a family (where does that tiny door in the kids’ bedroom lead to?) without compromising on character. The two bedrooms are subtly decorated and offer a peaceful haven with bags of storage. The children will adore the sturdy cabin-style beds and grown-ups will love the convenient location, surrounded by a great selection of eateries and not far from the vintage shops of Notting Hill. It’s just a ten-minute walk from here to Ladbroke Grove tube station. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
