Brilliant stay at Gary’s, thank you!
The property is as described and we fully agree with other reviews.
Located in a quiet residential street with plenty of free parking, it’s a 6 min walk to Mortlake railway station where Southwest Trains run to Waterloo St or a 4 min journey to Richmond where you can catch the underground District line right through the city to the East. Swipe your bank card on entering the station and basically travel around the city and back to Mortlake for £8.30 a day. Cheaper than Richmond parking!
A short drive or catch the bus from Gary’s place to Petersham nurseries for a bite to eat and a drink. There’s a road just beyond the nursery which leads down to the Thames. Park here for free if lucky enough to find a space and a 20 minute walk along the riverbank into Richmond.
Gary’s place is immaculate with fine finishing touches. The bathroom is right next to the bedroom.
Sit in the kitchen and dining area looking out onto the garden, and if Gary is there, have a coffee with him and a chat.
We really enjoyed our stay here having used Richmond as a base previously for the ease of getting in and out of the city we would definitely recommend it.
If you are a first time visitor to the area there’s plenty to see. Richmond town and the boat trips on the Thames. Richmond Park, coffee shops eating places etc. Kew Gardens is one stop from Richmond and a short walk to the entrance. You will need a good day at least to try and see it all. Take a picnic, have a wander and find a quiet space to enjoy the garden. (We didn’t think much of the food there!)
Kew has some nice little areas to wander around too.
So in all we cannot fault Gary’s place at all.
Great location great place great host.
Thank you!
