The house is situated in an old pump house station surrounded by a closed brick wall with two private entrances (one on Renforth Street for cars and one on Albatross Way right next to the bus and tube station for pedestrians). Although right next to Canada Water Tube station (less than 2 minutes walk through the pedestrian entrance) it was very quiet with no car traffic nearby.
The house is really big and provided plenty of room for our goup of 5 people. There are two living (or reception) rooms with Sky TV. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a nice family diner (gas stove, oven, microwave, dish washer). There were fresh linen and towels in every one of the 4 bedrooms. There are 3 bathrooms with shower or bathtub with overhead shower. A storage room provides a vacuum and a laundry rack. There is a washing machine and a seperate tumble dryer in the kitchen.
There is also a little ground floor backyard garden and a balcony upstairs which we unfotunately couldn`t use due to the rather wet and cold weather in december. But I´m sure these are very nice places to sit and relax in the spring and summer.
For those travelling by car there is off road parking on the premises right in front of the house which is a real bonus in London. With the tube station right in front of your kitchen window you can park your car there safely and enjoy the London Underground.
There is a grocery store right next to the tube station and also a very nice café nearby.
The contact with the house manager was very quick and she made sure we had everything we needed and we could contact her during our whole stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Nicky`s house and do recommend it to larger groups. We definitely hope to be staying there again.
