Upon arrival we were immediately welcomed into the house by Gavin and Lyn. They were warm and couldn't do enough to see to our orientation in the house and our personal comfort. The house is lovely and is as represented in the photos. We did not see the park or lake. The house was close to the underground and the bus station. Travel times to downtown London not too long, mall very close on the "tube" and it was situated near our daughter so visiting her was easy. Gavin and Lyn are exceptional in their efforts to make you feel at home and Gavin bakes yummy bread!
