I have never returned from a business trip to London so relaxed before, and that’s all down to my stay on the Morning Velvet.

Sam is a wonderful host (and a lovely person) and was so welcoming from my first enquiry, and throughout the stay.

Morning Velvet is a beautiful old lady with fabulous character and wonderful style … and I’ve completely fallen for her! Sam ensures that Velvet is immaculate from the crisp white bedding, the roll topped bath and the fresh wild flowers.

She was birthed at Islington which is a perfect location, offering idyllic views from the boat and canal walks to hidden parts of London, together with restaurants, coffee shops and bars of every kind, and one stop on the Tube to Kings Cross.

I really can’t wait for my next London visit and will keep everything crossed that this hidden gem isn’t booked.
