This fun but refined family home is full of personality. She’s elegant and opulent, and certainly not afraid of bold colours. And that’s why we love her. Each room has a style all of its own, from plush pink-and-lemon splashes in the main sitting room to the soothing sea-green master bedroom. There's a classically styled Victorian bathroom and a fiery-red playroom, but our favourite is the rich blue reading room. It’s a cosy and indulgent spot for any bookworm. But you’ll probably be keen for some family time – in which case the kitchen with its range-style cooker and granite-topped island inevitably draws the group together. Or the second sitting room, which opens out onto the garden, attracts those who want to make the most of balmy summer evenings. Either way, you have plenty to choose from. All this just a hop skip and a jump from Holland Park and Kensington High Street, and 7 minutes from the tube at Kensington Olympia. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
