We enjoyed a lovely 2 night stay in Catherine’s beautiful home. We were in London to meet up with family primarily, but the fabulous location of Catherine’s place turned our stay into a holiday as well as being a base from which to meet up with our family. The penthouse bedrooms were splendid and worked really well for us as a family with our 3 children in one bedroom and us in the other, a bathroom for them and an en suite for us - perfect! The listing detailed clearly that the kitchen was shared and we had planned before reserving that we would eat dinner out during our stay and so we chose not to use the kitchen at all. The light is so lovely in the morning in the master bedroom and as there is a sofa and tea/coffee facilities, as well as a mini fridge in each room, we were more than happy with our patisseries from the local shops, juice and cup of tea for breakfast before heading off. Richmond is very nice indeed and we would have liked to have had more days to explore Richmond Park, further along the river and - if we weren’t in these “pandemical” times - we would have journeyed into the city by train, but most indoor sight-seeing venues were still closed at the time of our stay anyway. Parking was not a problem as Catherine provided us with permits for the street. Our car was useful to have to drive to Kew Gardens to meet family - although apparently it is easy to get to by bus also. Lots of nice restaurants on the river front, either side the bridge, and so pleasant to walk along the river in the day or evening. A real privilege to stay in Catherine’s house and in such a perfect location to explore Richmond, would really love to return!
