Home Away From Home
If you are looking to enjoy all that London has to offer but would prefer to live in a quieter and more relaxed setting, then the Skylight Cottage in Greenford is the perfect place for you.
Travelling around Europe, my husband and I spent the last two weeks of our holiday visiting London and staying at the Skylight Cottage before returning home to Australia.
Before we arrived and on arrival, communication with Anna and Keith was clear and timely. Details were provided about how to get to the cottage and how the keys were to be collected, as well as information about the features of the property and security.
Only a 10 minute easy walk to Greenford station on the West Ruslip line and zone 4 on the tube, you are in the heart of London within forty five minutes. Even less (twenty minutes) if you want to stop and experience Notting Hill. Lots of local shops around the station including a Tesco Express (handy for daily supplies), local pub and fantastic chicken and kebab shop - they make the best fresh chips! Greenford is also a great base to visit the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens and train to Ealing Broadway, a shopping precinct and hub for quality eateries.
Anna and Keith were fantastic hosts, with an exceptional attention to detail. They provided us with a sparkling, highly finished cottage, including basic supplies in the pantry and fridge, as well as laundry products. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
If you are looking for the comforts of home while visiting London, then the Skylight Cottage is the place to be.
