Hannah was a fantastic host, she was very friendly and immediately put us at ease, by her politeness and friendly manner, after we had had a stressful drive across London to get there ( London is busy to drive through in December :-) ).
It is in a great location being across the road from the train station, where you can catch a train, directly into Waterloo, to explore central London, or into Richmond from great river side pubs and shopping.It is a quick bus ride to Hampton Court palace, where you can explore the residence and the gardens and take in some history, and then walk back along the Thames to Kingston if you are the energetic type.
There is a small friendly coffee shop next door and a small convenience store should you need run out of milk etc. There is a great couple of pubs and restaurants just down the road, if you do not feel like venturing to far, great for the first day when you are getting acquainted to the location.
It is a ten minute stroll into Kingston which has most High Street shops and also two department stores, we were able to do most of our Christmas shopping here instead of having to deal with the crowds of central London.
The accomodation was very clean and comfortable with a large dining table in the kitchen with sufficient ammenities, which enabled us to host a couple of informal dinners with some friends and family we have in London.
If we ever go back to London we definitely look at staying here, if available, due to the comfort, ease of access to London, river walks, and convenient location to shops, pubs and restaurants.
