My family of 4 (2 daughters aged 19 and 12) recently had the pleasure of staying at Freddie's place. I already knew the area, having lived nearby a few years ago. The location is fantastic, being an easy walk to St Margaret's train station or a bit further to either Twickenham or Richmond. Also regular bus routes are a 2 minute walk away. The cottage backs onto the beautiful open spaces of Marble Hill Park and is very close to the Thames towpath for lovely walks each way. Good pubs, restaurants and supermarkets are all within a 2-10minute walk. In spite of being so close to many amenities, it is whisper quiet (other than the distant sound of aircraft landing at Heathrow but that comes with the territory across the whole of West London).
The cottage is compact but the spaces are well utilised and we certainly didn't feel crammed in. The main bedroom is spacious with a chest of drawers and hanging space. The second bedroom is more compact but has some hanging space and has direct access to a lovely roof terrace outside. Although minimal room for suitcases in the second bedroom, we used the handy conservatory space downstairs for excess luggage. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a dining table for 4 people. The lounge area is again compact but we all sat comfortably on an evening watching TV or the DVD player. Wifi is good throughout.
All in all, the cottage was a delight to stay in and made all the more homely by the extra little touches such as soaps, shampoo, conditioner, tissues, along with a welcome bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate. Thank you so much for having us, the cottage was truly delightful to stay in and I would recommend it without reservation.
