Dara's place is absolutely wonderful, I stayed here after several weeks of traveling and it was the perfect homebase to recharge while exploring the area. Comfortable, clean, quiet, and generally just lovely. Dara and Rowland were attentive and gracious hosts, always a delight to talk to in the mornings over breakfast. Their dog is also a very sweet and warm presence in the house. It's an easy walk to the train station, which I used to go to both central London and the southern coast. If you want to explore Wimbledon, it's also within walking distance of a nice shopping area and the Wimbledon Common, an enormous wooded park that's nice to wander through.
