The Ranelagh house was a spacious lived-in family-feeling and stylish home with good facilities for a group or family, and the secluded small garden would be a bonus in good weather. It's in a very quiet, attractive area with convenient transport and local shops and restaurants, where we felt as if we were residents, rather than tourists, for a few days. Frances could not have been more helpful, or more generous with her catering for our breakfasts and a very welcome tea and scones when we arrived. It was an excellent base for one of our best city breaks.
